Steinhart Ocean 1 Ceramic Bezel Review

Greetings all my desire was to change out the ceramic bezel in my steinhart ocean 1 gmt for an aluminum red black bezel insert.

Steinhart ocean 1 ceramic bezel review. Steinhart ocean one black and the case of the homage watch. Many people regard the steinhart ocean 1 s bracelet as excellent for the price and i m happy to agree with them. As good as the ovm s design is most credit for that goes to rolex.

In certain lighting conditions the markings can disappear entirely. Overall the steinhart ocean one titanium premium 500 or whatever mix of those words you choose is a fun watch with a nice style that gets you some sub vibe a hint of pelagos and a dash of benrus without being an homage to any of them specifically. Concluding my steinhart ocean 1 review even with all the great things the ovm has to offer it still feels a bit disappointing that steinhart didn t add more of their own ideas to the watch. There s been a lot of different ideas being thrown around the internet on how to replace the bezel insert of the steinhart ocean 1.

The bezel click is hollow sounding which doesn t lend itself to the impression of quality but the bezel fit is a little loose which is a good thing as it will still work in even the most adverse conditions and i suspect this slightly loose fit is the reason for the. But the minute markers on the ceramic bezel are a pale grey and don t really pop muting the watch s wrist presence somewhat. Overall the steinhart ocean 1 is a very impressive watch considering the price. September 20 2015.

So i ordered a new insert from steinhart for 15 you can see it here. The 120 click bezel is made of ceramic and has the first 15 minutes fully marked up then ever 5 minutes thereafter you ll see this in more detail throughout the review today. The bezel has the classic submariner style to it. The ceramic is great looking and very durable but under most light conditions i found the numerals difficult to read.
