However, we did find that 44mm variety is too wide for our 5-inch wrist member, but looks beautiful on the larger ones (6’5-inch onwards). Further, none of them find the 42mm variation prone to knocks even on its bracelet. They enjoyed hassle freely on their wrist every single time they strapped it on. They have NEVER FIND IT TOO BIG for their wrist. We concluded that our findings on the 42mm Ocean ultimately ideal for those who want a taste of an actual sports watches without looking out of place even on our smallest member’s wrist.Īlthough on paper the Ocean 42mm GMT has a lug to lug of 49mm, and with straight cut shaped lugs (common find in German’s designed tool watches), Our members did not find the watch over-hanged drastically. We wore it daily, and here are our thoughts on the wearability. Some of our Gnomon members have owned one for more than two years, with wrist size measured from a 7-inch wrist (in the photo), to slim wrist of about 5-inch wrist (the lady’s wrist check you are about to see below). Is the Ocean 42mm GMT Black too big for most wrist?įirstly, the Ocean 42mm GMT Black was one of their classic range that features the dimension as mention above and has the ETA 2893-2 GMT caliber. In this particular article, we would share our long experience and thoughts on their evergreen Steinhart Ocean 42mm GMT Black on a bracelet, and their newer 39mm Ocean Blue / Red GMT for the sake of this discussion.
#Steinhart vs squale series
Therefore in this article, we would like to share our own experience wearing the Ocean series (since many of us have owned one or two variants by ourselves).
We at Gnomon realized that many times our customers are worried regarding the sizing might be too big and looks bulky for one’s wrist. They usually come in at 42mm wide and 49mm from lug to lug with a thickness of 13mm (to ensure 300m water resistant). Therefore they are widely known for their honest pricing for a Swiss-made dive watches. The price range starts from 450USD onwards. Now, the Ocean series consist of more than 20 variations, most of them made out of 316L stainless steel that features a 300m water resistant, sapphire crystal and pairs with a metal bracelet. This is especially so with their Ocean dive watch series are the go-to essentials for anyone who wants to get a well-priced automatic mechanical tool watch. Those who have come across Steinhart timepieces will know they are all about honest pricing, and robust Swiss Made watches. The ideas (incl ding their Ocean series and design originate in the headquarters in Augsburg, all of the components and the mechanical heart of each Steinhart watch hail from the Suisse Jura. Steinhart Watches GmbH is a result of the rising passion concerning watches that the founder and creative head, Günter Steinhart, has been carrying with throughout his life. Steinhart Watches GmbH is a German company which established in Augsburg, Bavaria, in 2001. We want to share about our thoughts and findings based firmly on our long experience with Steinhart timepieces, and hopefully, you guys can have the same enjoyment we had with our Ocean dive watches or any divers with the similar design and sizes.įirstly, let’s briefly go through how did the Steinhart’s Ocean come about from the brand. It is neither about the long-running argument on whether your wrist size suites a particular dimension of watches, nor educating one that specific watch dimensions are the “holy grail” size. Before we get into our first blog sharing of whether the Ocean dive watches size are suitable for your wrist, we would like our readers to know the ultimate goal for this post.
