Overall, the Steinhart Ocean One GMT Two-tone Black/Khaki Ceramic exhibits exceptional value. For the price, you get a Swiss Made watch with a Swiss movement, a unique two-tone 300m traveller’s diver watch with SEL bracelet and an overall well finished sturdy watch. This was before not achievable until Steinhart arrived and also probably the reason why Steinhart has quite a huge following although only been around for only 15 years.
