Apologies if I'm double posting and this topic has been covered already but I came across the below video on Youtube and the author states that he contacted Steinhart directly about the possibility of making smaller watches. He says they replied saying that "Ocean models with 39mm case are planned in the summer 2017". Hope this is true and not a wind up as I'm sure lots of people would like a smaller version of their watches.
I ordered it already, 28 minutes after I the email got into my inbox
The one thing I'm not 100% sure I like yet or not though is it looks like they're using the same indices (and hands too?) as the 42mm version, so it balances a bit different.
But still, I can't wait.
I'm surprised they didn't do the OVM though.
If only they did this for all their Ocean ones, including the GMT's. Probably a good thing, or else I'd have a pepsi bezel GMT and the Steeve McQueen explorer on order too!
The 39mm Steiny was a bit of a mythical beast but now they've finally arrived I want one but I'm saving my pennies for the new Scurfa when it comes out.
Well woke up this morning, didn't expect this......... No real combination is a must have, and no GMT is disappointing. I'll see the initial reviews first when people get their hands on the watch. For about $420 the all white version does seem interesting. I wonder if the BGW9 lume is any good. Biggest disappointment is no lumed bezel and only flat sapphire crystal. I guess I will wait for Tisell.

Was looking forward to an OVM or something different....Not an another modern sub homage. I mean, if i wanted a sub homage, i would've already bought a Squale 1545.
I think they missed their target customer base. I guess they wanted to cater to the female audience, but cmon, it's already difficult to find a woman wearing a watch, let alone a 'big' automatic watch. I bet a 39 OVM would've been sold out even faster than the black version.
Well now, i'll keep my 400 for now.
Oh my that 39mm size, l2l and especially the bracelet that tapers to 16mm(finally a modern bracelet that does taper to 16mm!!!) is really calling to me. I'd be getting my first steinhart if they launch the titanium 500 or ovm in that size.
Just received an email from Gnomon this morning. I thought it was hot off the press but looks as if
people here are already ordering and receiving! I am really excited about this. Hopefully, Steinhart
will consider doing a lot more of the range in this size. I had sold all my 42mm as I just could not
live with the large size. Looks like I need to clear some funds to move onto Steinhart!
I don't understand why the black version doesn't have a lume pip on the bezel, whereas the Kermit (green) does. I would have understood the lumed triangel if the rest of the bezel markers had been lumed, but that is obviously not the case.
Well, if you check Steinhart website, it shows the green is aluminium bezel, while the rest are ceramic bezel.
To be honest, I prefer the big triangle lumed marker at 12, than the lume pip on the bezel. I also prefer just the triangle lumed marker than all the rest of the bezel markers lumed. :-d
I wish they'd done a 39mm OVM.
The Kermit looks good, but it's a straight-up sub homage, and I just can't go there.
(This is where you tell me why it ISN'T a plain old homage to give me some excuse to get it...)
Those with them on the way already, did y'all order from gnomon or straight from steinhart? Gnomon is saying shipping on the 14th ATM. Think they know how many they got coming? I'm still on the fence.
To answer your 1st question, mine ordered direct from Steinhart. 3 more days I'll find out how good is this new Steinhart Ocean 1.
No idea of your 2nd question though. My guess is that this initial batch of black could be about 80 - 200 pieces. :think:
