Steinhart just announced a new arrival (it's available NOW), the Steinhart Apollon. I really like the Ti case design (which is the same as the previous Proteus LE), and also the nicely designed sandwich dial, and interchangeable bezels (including 3 total - ss, dlc, and Bronze). I like it so much, I placed my order today!!! (I know...for cryin' out loud, no self control!!!   ). Can't wait to see this one in-the-metal. Tremendous design and great bang for the buck IMO. What do you guys think? The specs are as follows: - Titanium case, 45mm without crown - Engraved stainless steel case back - 24mm lug width - 30 ATM water resistance - Black and metallic gray sandwich dial, BG W9 Super LumiNova™ - Domed sapphire crystal, double anti-reflective coating on the inside - 3 exchangeable bezels, brushed stainless steel, DLC-coated stainless steel and full bronze - ETA 2824-2 automatic movement - Swiss made - Price incl. European VAT € 440.-            Last edited on Fri Sep 2nd, 2011 08:46 pm by stew77 |

A bit too tall for my taste, 17 mm, but otherwise a very striking timepiece.

Another unique and stunning design. Look forward to your impressions Chris. This one will somehow have to find a way into my collection

Just when I was getting ready to tell my wife to get me the Tortuga, I see this. Anyone know if these are limited or not? That bronze bezel is smoking. Last edited on Fri Sep 2nd, 2011 11:50 pm by MrMayface |

As far as I know, the Apollon is not a LE piece...so the good news is you should still be able to get one in the future if you don't jump on the purchase button right away.

Thanks. I don't think I would do both. I definitely like this one a little better than the Tortuga. That bronze bezel sets it off. Did they let you know how soon before your arrives? I want to give my wife enough time to get it here if I go this direction.

I don't have a delivery confirmation, but Steinhart deliveries are usually very fast...I have ordered leather straps from them in the past and they arrive via FedEx from Germany to the USA in a matter of 2-3 days. Awesome and fast shipping! I just placed the order this afternoon, so I don't have a shipping confirmation quite yet.

Fantastic isn't it. I especially love the bronze bezel. Despite having the very similar Proteus I'll probably be ordering one of these in due course. Also hopefully Proteus owners will be able to persuade Steinhart to produce a bronze bezel for the Proteus. :-) Last edited on Sat Sep 3rd, 2011 05:54 am by watcher |
