Ocean 39 Vintage GMT Premium White Ceramic

The Ocean 39 Vintage GMT bridges retro dive heritage and contemporary build quality effortlessly. Steinhart complements the vintage layout and single red line dial script with a sharp ceramic bezel insert, adding depth and durability to the exterior. With its highly wearable 39mm proportions, it stands out as an exceptionally versatile traveller watch built for modern daily wear.

Made to the highest of Swiss standard with a genuine vintage flair, the case of the Steinhart Ocean 39 Vintage is made from 316L stainless steel. Features a satin-brushed finish on the top of the lugs and polished sides of the case, like how an old-school dive watch finished in the 1960s. This finishing follows through the stainless steel bracelet. The 39mm case has a 47mm lug-to-lug dimensions making this quite comfortable on most wrist sizes.

Steinhart Ocean 39 Vintage GMT Premium White Ceramic

At the core of the Ocean 39 Vintage GMT design is a dial layout shaped by collector demand and rich horological history. Steinhart resurrects the legendary red line text application popularized on ultra rare 1960s skin divers, highlighting the Ocean GMT branding in bright red against contrasting white copy. Beyond pure visual charisma, this red printing serves a real functional role underwater, where red light spectrum wavelengths fade past 5 meters of depth to leave only essential dive data visible. This subtle touch gives the timepiece distinct character while setting it apart from ordinary vintage reissue divers.

Complementing the vintage dial layout, the traditional dive hand set comes generously filled with old radium Superluminova to match the warm tone of the hour markers. This thoughtful luminous execution brings genuine retro charisma to a modern daily wearer.

Framing the display is a polished ceramic bezel featuring the iconic two tone blue and red GMT color scheme, complete with a bright luminous marker at 12 o'clock. Deep, clean knurling along the edge provides outstanding grip during operation, allowing the 120 click unidirectional mechanism to snap into each position with firm, positive feedback.

Swiss SW330-2 Elaboré Premium automatic caliber

The Steinhart signed screw-down crown is located at 3 o'clock and suitable for a water-resistant rating of 300m. The Ocean 39 Vintage GMT forgoes the flat crystal with magnifying Cyclops, and instead, comes with a period-correct looking glass with modern fabrication- a domed sapphire crystal with inner anti-reflective coating for added clarity under different lighting conditions. The Ocean 39 Vintage GMT has a solid case back that features engravings of essential information of the watch.

Underneath the solid case back beats the trusted Swiss SW330-2 Elaboré Premium automatic caliber. Operating at a smooth frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour across 25 jewels, this refined movement offers both hand winding and hacking seconds for precise time setting. Backed by a 40 hour power reserve, the caliber integrates a dedicated fourth GMT hand, enabling effortless tracking of a second timezone for worldwide travel.

Superluminova glows in the dark

The Steinhart Ocean 39 Vintage GMT comes with a satin-brushed stainless steel bracelet with screw links and flip-lock. Unique to the Ocean 39 Vintage GMT is, of course, the 20mm bracelet which tapers to 16mm. Makes the 39mm model look much more refined and elegant.

Overall, the Steinhart Ocean 39 Vintage GMT is one model that exhibits the idiosyncratic enchantment of a single red line dial. It is packed with great value, offering the 60s vintage look without any compromise. Further, for wearing wise, it is suitable for those who think the 42mm Oceans are too big. We are in love with these captivating vintage elements found on the dial as it is a refreshing break away from the usual submariner dial design.
