Overall, the Steinhart Ocean One GMT Blue/Red Ceramic 2 exhibits very great value. For the price, you get a Swiss Made watch with an SW330-2, Elaboré movement, a full 316L stainless steel 300m diver watch with SEL bracelet and an overall well finished sturdy watch. This was before not achievable until Steinhart arrived and also probably the reason why Steinhart has quite a huge following although only been around for only 15 years.
Steinhart watches come with a 2 years Steinhart international warranty.
