Homage to Rolex 6200? Steinhart Ocean One Vintage

Steinhart Ocean One Vintage automatic watch review

For a business entity, which is essentially a one-man show, Steinhart is surprisingly prolific. Although most of their watches are so-called "homages" and "tributes", there is a lot of them. Starting from "divers" to "pilots" and going all the way to sporty chronographs, the brand offers you plenty to choose from.

This self-winding Ocean One Vintage, for example, is designed for the kind of people that are longing for a historic Rolex (or, perhaps, even a re-issue of a historic Tudor,) but either can't afford one or plain don't want to bother sifting through the thousands of "pre-loved" models with a questionable history.

Deep Blue Master Diver 1000 Automatic

Deep Blue Master Diver 1000 Automatic watch

Available at MSRP of $499 -and currently offered on their official website at just $400- this new Deep Blue Master Diver 1000 automatic diving tool doesn't look particularly flashy. On the contrary, the new Master Diver is deliberately dull, almost as dull as a wrench or a hammer can be. With every brushed surface, with every massive part, it declares: "Look at me! I am a professional instrument! I am a beater that you can take every place you go to!" Well, it looks like it tells the truth.

Vulcain Nautical DLC: a Serious Tool for a Desk Diver

Vulcain Nautical DLC (Ref. 100152.024LDLC) hand-wound watch

The company that makes watches for American presidents, has re-released its classic Nautical model. First released as a faithful recreation of the 1960s diver and then re-issued around two years ago in almost the same shape (but with a different movement), this new Vulcain Nautical DLC (Ref. 100152.024LDLC) version gets more modern look with its mid-sized stainless steel body treated with scratch-resistant DLC coating. Still, it loses something in the process.
