Product Review (submitted on April 26, 2022):

I am spoiled. When I was a teenager in the mid 1970s my dad let me wear his 1961 Rolex GMT Master 1 as my every day watch. (Yes that was crazy!) After dad passed I had the Rolex serviced, and appraised. After I regained consciousness, I put the GMT Master 1 in the safe as there is no way I would wear that family heirloom for anything other than special occasions. What to do? I love GMT watches and really wanted something to wear that was not a knock off but an honest to goodness Swiss Caliber watch that would remind me of that grand old beautifully patinaed Rolex I wore as a teen. Then I spotted a Steinhart Ocean 39 vintage GMT premium BLUE-RED Ceramic and was smitten! Here was a watch that reminded me of the GMT M1 but was more than a mere homage watch! The jumpable 24 hour hand, jumpable date and super-luminova filled ceramic bezel added style and functionality that, in some functional ways, surpassed the watch that started my love of GMT watches. I very much enjoy the sapphire crystal and back allowing me to occasionally mesmerize myself by watching the balance do its captivating dance. This is a fantastic watch and a genuine value. I expect it will be a watch that my children will cherish when it passes on to them. Thank you for making a beautiful functional time peace with classic lines, tool watch functionality, and a highly respected Swiss movement.
