Just received a Steinhart Ocean 39 Explorer. This sapphire crystal version appears to have excellent AR qualities. The ETA 2824 -2 Elabore movement is tough and reliable. Keeping COSC tolerances.
Lug holes and 39mm make this a vintage 5513 classy homage watch. One of the best values out there for a balanced vintage Swiss watch. Rolex DID make a 5513 Submariner with the Explorer dial in the 1960s, so Steinhart did their homework-and changed their earlier ST-5 in house to an ETA proven 25 jewel work horse.
Gilt dial and old school hands show Steinhart did their research and even provided an extra NATO band for those drilled lugs. Montres value.
