Every fan of the Steinhart company, or just anyone who knows it – knows that one of the brand’s fundamental product lines is the Ocean One – watches that are closely related in style to Rolex replica watches, especially the vintage versions. Dial, bezel, hands – they are all inspired by Rolex originals.
However, it should be acknowledged at this point that unlike cheap replica Rolex models of Far Eastern timepieces, they are often almost 100% unconscious reflections without a trace of their own creativity, not even the caseback and screwing method, or even the mechanism. The color of the wheels is usually the same – after a simple clone, Steinhardt always follows his own path.
The main advantage is that the quality is very good and repeatable – and the price is always reasonable. In addition, Steinhardt also developed his own case style, which is completely different from Rolex. Different sizes, completely different shapes, case backs – that doesn’t change the fact that when looking at the Ocean One watch, the connection to Rolex is obvious, but also 100% intentional.
This is undoubtedly one of the foundations of the series’ success. This product line is under continuous development. Recently, the manufacturer launched another representative. Inspired by the aforementioned replica Rolex Daytona Paul Newman. A rare, unproduced and highly desirable watch. The Steinhart Ocean One Vintage Chronograph may be a remedy for many who want to own a replica watch that resembles the often out-of-reach original.
The shape of the case is similar to other Vintage models. Classic, polished and brushed surfaces give the impression of a lightweight structure – in both cases to a very good standard. This sense of lightness is enhanced by the neatly arranged narrow side profiles of the case, which itself must be quite large in the ‘Chronograph’ version – indeed it is, but this is due to the relatively tall bezel, the use of a glass cover at the bottom of the case. Screws hold it on, as well as the rather prominent convex sapphire glass.
This brings the overall length to a respectable 18mm – a significant value – but the case’s lateral lines are intended to make the design optically thinner, which seems to be successful. Watch the live timer to get the full answer. On the right side of the case, there is a classic crown and stop replica watch button in the middle – the entire design refers to Daytona Paul Newman 6263.
