Ocean 39 Vintage GMT Green

Steinhart was founded in 2001 based on the ethos of offering high-quality, Swiss-made watches at an honest and accessible price tag. Over the years, the German watch brand tirelessly seeks to develop a broad genre of quality mechanical timepieces. As a result, Steinhart's Ocean One collection has gained widespread popularity amongst watch enthusiasts. It is even more so with the Ocean Vintage series. The fusion of modern watchmaking commingles with vintage flair makes them stand out from many other diver watches.

Steinhart expands its vintage tool watch portfolio with a fresh take on mid century design, presenting the Ocean 39 GMT Vintage Green. Expanding the popular melon aesthetic, this timepiece brings warm ripe fruit tones directly onto the wrist. Steinhart draws inspiration from daring early 1960s colour schemes for the 24 hour bezel layout and GMT hand, striking a fantastic balance between serious mechanical watchmaking and lively vintage personality.

Steinhart offers a welcome departure from standard tool watch designs by leaning into historic mid-century case architecture. The Ocean 39 Vintage GMT hits the sweet spot for wearable proportions, measuring 39mm across, 47mm from lug to lug, and just 13mm thick . What we like about this case is there are additional details to it. There are additional polished bevelings at each lug of the case, and it does not come with crown guards, allowing Steinhart to bring back the "big crown" look for us. This particular style could only be found on those premium Ocean 39 models.

The Steinhart Ocean 39 GMT Vintage features a unidirectional 24-hour GMT bezel, allowing you to track a second-time zone. There's another special attribute to be highlighted here. What's so unique and distinctive about the bezel is that, Steinhart to use a sapphire bezel insert in a vintage bakelite form that's been used in the sixties. Sapphire was the choice of material to mimic the gorgeous bakelite bezels of yesteryears. It was expertly chosen - with the bezel giving off a charming vintage hue - while still retaining the benefits that a modern material like sapphire offers. The bezel features two shades of green - a darker and a lighter shade, just like the colours of the sweet melon fruit, as mentioned earlier. The bezel rotates anti-clockwise with a solid 120 clicks and can be done with ease thanks to its polished grooves.

Moving on to the dial, the Ocean 39 GMT Vintage features a sunburst forest green dial with circular indices, except a triangular index at 12 o'clock and the baton indices at 6 and 9. A colour-matching date wheel can be found at 3 o'clock, while the Mercedes hands and a more extended GMT hand in the "melon" colourway complete the look. The hands all hit the printed outer minute track accurately, with none being too lengthy or too stubby, which enthusiasts will appreciate. Steinhart's screwed-down signed crown, and case-back offer the watch an impressive 300m water resistance.

The hands, indices, and the bezel insert (just like the Bakelite bezels of the past) are generously painted with "Old Radium" Superluminova. We got to say that the orangey "aged" colour befits the melon theme here, as you get the idea once we open one up and see the inside, pardon my digress. Nevertheless, the watch offers a superb glow that will last quite a long time, ensuring maximum readability in darkness. At the other end of the spectrum, the domed sapphire crystal has an anti-reflective coating on the underside, ensuring that the dial would be legible in harsh lighting.

The ever-dependable Selita SW330-2 movement is powering the watch. It has 25 jewels, beats at 28,800 BPH, and has an independent GMT hand. This is a workhorse Swiss movement that has been widely used in the industry, guaranteeing robustness, longevity, and ease of service. A screwed-down case-back protects the movement.

A 20mm oyster-style bracelet is affixed to the watch. The bracelet is well-built and elegantly tapers to 16mm to a signed Steinhart clasp. The style and taper of the bracelet contribute to the classy yet robust look of the watch, giving wearers great comfort while still oozing style.

Injecting fresh personality into vintage sports watch design, the Ocean 39 Vintage GMT Green arrives as one of the most exciting recent Steinhart releases. Daring color accents replace predictable layouts, offering watch enthusiasts a lively alternative filled with character. Built for those who appreciate heritage styling with a unique twist, this release brings an undeniable wave of enthusiasm to the compact 39mm lineup.
