I have had this particular watch on my short list and had planned on buying it as a birthday gift to myself. Birthday isn’t till June but I got an email about this particular one and decided to move on it now.


This unboxing is a tad different. As some may know I have had some issues with my mail/packages being stolen from my front door. In an effort to stop the little pricks I just finished installing this architectural mailbox. Placed it on a 6†thick concrete pad, reinforced with rebar and bolted down to the pad from the inside.


So here are the specs and some less than quality phone pics for now, better photoshoot hopefully this Sunday.


I had this in my hands 2 days after it shipped! This also came with a NATO strap as well as a Steinhart branded leather strap.
Serial # 16 of 300 produced.
Movement: Swiss ETA2824-2 Automatic Movement
Dial: Black with hour markers
Luminous: "Old-radium" SuperLuminova. Markers, hour, minute, second hands
Case: Satin brushed top and polished sides Stainless steel
Crown: Screwdown Steinhart signed crown
Lug: 22mm
Crystal: High domed hesalite crystal
Strap: Satin brushed stainless steel bracelet with screw links and fliplock. Additional Steinhart custom handmade matching vintage brown strap

Got to train the delivery people so I put the little sign on it for now

The Ocean Vintage are nice watches, congrats and enjoy it. Also, very nice job on the new mailbox, I hope it will deter all the hoodlums.

The doomed hesalite crystal is impressive. The Vintage Military is a very fine watch with excellent value.

Nice. So how does the overall quality compare to the "high end" reps we buy or compared with say a seiko? Is it "heavy" ? Does it feel premium?

Funny you should say that, it crossed my mind too. Compared to my Gen seikos its way better, just a slicker package quality wise. Compared to high end reps ( all I can compare are some ap) it is again better. Just oozes quality.

A lovely piece, I do regret selling my OVM mk1 last year - oh and I think you have the "mailbox of the year" award sewn up as well - win/win
