Congrats Chris! Great write up, and very informative and interesting read:0) And pictures are top-notch also. For some reason I had just assumed that the bezel was unidirectional on this one, so great to get the misunderstanding (maybe not reading the specs as closely as I should have) cleared up. And agree that the fixed bezel doesn´t exclude it per say, as I in normal day life only use the bezels of my watches to time my pizzas  Looking forward to see that bronze bezel on it, once it grows some patina:0)

Congrats on this one, Chris! You might just have earned some commission from Steinhart if you were a salesman with them!

Big Congrats, Chris. In my opinion, that's among the best designs I have ever seen in a long time. The bezel/strap options make the variations almost limitless. Surely a fun watch to own and actually use daily. Enjoy it in good health, amigo

Oscar, Brice, Trent, Murph, Rolf, Graham, Jeff, and William...thank you guys for the continued kind words on the review and the pics.  Very glad it proved helpful for fellow 3T WIS.The Apollon is a very unique and cool piece. Brice - yes, I expect that the Bronze bezel will be my favorite in the long run...just a bit too much gold fresh out of the bezel case, but it will get mounted soon! Thanks again guys.

The black bezel is a good match for it but I personally prefer the bronze one, it looks great and original on the watch. The screws don't bother me. I considered getting this beauty but the size and the L2L might be too much for me. +1. Congrats! I love it, but just can't pull it off like you can.

Hey Stew My Apollon arrived and I am stoked. Mine came with a black leather strap and not grey like advertised on the site(and your post). I see what you mean about the dial screws.....makes a quick glance quite challenging.I think for the price its a helluva lot of watch. Mine ran about +20s pd out the box but its down to about +2 now. I cant wear it 24/7 as it arrived hot on the heals of a Magrette Bronze and a PJS Marine Auto, so right now I am in watch Valhalla, keeping 3 new acquisitions all ticking merrily

One word of caution be careful when changing the bezels more exactly with taking the screws in and out, some owners of the Proteus which the Apollon is based upon have had issues with the screw holes becoming stripped. I am one of them but repaired it myself and now with some very mild loctite it is fixed.

Chris, great write up of the Apollon.. I must say that with all your details and pics, if I would be on the fence with this one, you would have convinced me!! ... I like every single detail about this watch, it's inner dial color contrasting with the outer black color, the blue second hand, ti case, the bezels, etc.. the only deal breaker for me would have to be the lack of rotation on the bezel, sadly I have to have a rotating bezel on my watches and the lack of is really a bummer... OTOH, I still think this particular model is gonna be a winner for Steinhart! Please keep posting pics...
