Where did you read about a split?Call what you will, I love my Steinhart watch.

It's awesome to see pix of the Triton 100 out in the wild. Thanks very much for posting them! The overall package seems to maintain the presence it had in the publicity photos. The PVD bezel, the cool He valve... Pretty slick, really. The rubber strap looks like a monster -- seriously looks over-engineered, which is terrific for a big dive watch like that. The lume-shot is quite the show with the lumed bezel + orange accents. The down-side is that it's hard to read. I actually had to go back to the non-lume picture to figure out where the hour-hand was. But from a purely aesthetic standpoint, all that lume sure is purdy. Congrats to you on a cool piece! yourock.gif

Thanks guys. The bezel is 120 clicks and no slops. It works perfect, and lines up perfectly. So far no worries. And, I think this has to be the best rubber strap that I have purchased with a watch. The only downside as I mentioned is no deployant.

Firstly: I wanted to share my opinion on the steinhart 1000m triton. I like the design, I like the pvd case, very smooth looking. I can see what people are saying about the orange ring on the dial, but I like the contrast. The buckle wouldn't be my first choice, but overall I feel the watch is a nice creation. Secondly: I've read a bunch of confusion about the relationship between Debaufre and Steinhart and I wanted to officially comment about it. My father (Jon D.) and I started this company about 5 years ago in the U.S. under the name of Steinhart. We picked the Steinhart name because the guy we had employed as our designer, at the time, had that name. We built up a reputation for service and quality products. Two years into it, we were threatened with a lawsuit from Steinhausen to change our name. We decided not to be in court for the next few years, so after long research we found the historic name of Debaufre. Once the change went into effect, our designer decided he didn't want to work for a company not bearing his name and abruptly abandoned us, went back to Germany, took our past designs with him and started his own little company. He is not associated with us. Regardless we don't hold a grudge and contrary to our attorney's legal advice, we don't intend to pursue legal actions. With my father recently retiring and the addition of Brandon (our new CEO) and a few other key individuals, some fundamental changes are in progress for Debaufre. To clarify, we are still a U.S. based company, we still maintain the strictest attention to customer service and exceptional manufacturing and we are building up to be a global company. What's changing is the underlying definition of our stylistic branding, slowly transitioning from traditional homage pieces to custom designed pieces. Naturally in any evolution there's going to be some misses among the hits and not every design is going to resonate with everyone, but this is to be expected. Our vision for the future of Debaufre is as a unique brand, but the road to that goal traverses peaks and valleys. We regularly conduct design surveys and gather advice from watch aficionados to guide our creative compass. Our recent releases, including our 2000m Triton, are a first step towards that goal. Each design resonates with a different expectation of function and style, granted perhaps not the duplicate homage pieces you are used to, but viewed under unbiased light and given a fair chance, these watches are great in their own right. Remember that many of our designs are a direct result of the input from fellow members on the watch forums. I hope this clarifies any remaining confusion surrounding Debaufre and the German off-shoot company. If you have any questions, please let us know. ~ Alldaron (president of Debaufre) Last edited on Sat Feb 20th, 2010 07:21 pm by alldaron |

Thanks for joining us Allderon!!! Like Ken and most members here at 3T, I have a lot of respect for your company. So welcome to 3T. I also want to congratulate you for the effort Débaufré is been putting to keep competitive prices and the highest standards in every timepieces it produces. You're company has been recognized as high quality timepieces in a very short period of time and with all these new companies popping out everywhere, it's nice to see that Débaufré is still standing apart IMHO. That new Nav-B GMT is very sweet. I'm usually not a fan of Pilot watches on ss bracelet, I can almost say it's against my religion ;), but for some reasons, I like that GMT. Ha well, I must be a Débaufré Fan-boy I guess :D Daniel
