The bezel insert grants the ability of tracking a second time zone at a glance. The knurling on the side of the pink-gold treated bezel is deep and clean. This helps in getting a good grip on the bezel for easy bezel operation. The 120 clicks bezel clicks positively into position.

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.
