Wondering what you guys think of this new one from Steinhart...I think that this one will wear a little larger than the 42mm spec...an Army Services themed piece which adds to some of the very cool pieces from Steinhart that cover the Pilot and Navel themes.

I can think of at least a few of you guys that will really like this one.

This one gets a thumbs-up from me!!!thumbsup.gif  (Great pricing, as expected from Steinhart)

Basic Specs:

- 42 mm stainless steel case
- Domed sapphire crystal with AR-coating on the inside
- Dial: black, superluminova C3 with date at 6 o'clock
- Swiss made ETA 2824-2 automatic movt.

- 22 mm lug width
- Water resistant to 30 meters


On to the pictures ...(more pics on the Steinhart website)

I think it's gorgeous...the only suggestion I would make is to number the outer bezel 13 thru 24.  The military works on a 24 hour system! thumbsup.gif

Just looked it up...very reasonable price!!!

I love the stubbed hour hand, I think the watch can pull off being a rugged style but also pass off as a dress watch also.
I like it a lot,

Thanks for all the comments guys.

This one has a nice (and unique) vintage look IMO, which is enhanced by that vintage looking leather strap with some nice vintage green crackle showing through...and is priced so reasonably.

Here is another (wrist shot) picture that I shamelessly found on another forum...the poster states that the wrist size in the pic is 8.5"...looks like this piece wears fairly large for a case spec'd at 42mm.ThumbsUp02.gif
