I am one of those that has really, really liked this new one from Steinhart since they first introduced the non-DLC version...and this DLC version looks sinister HOT!
Love the comment about the anodized orange detail on the HE valve causing casual observers to think it this is some sort of special power button...funny indeed (to me, this is a very nice design detail though!!)
Really like this one, and that LUME combination is sweet.
Now I have never owned a DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) finished watch (although I know there are several here at 3T that own DLC pieces), but I also know that there are many different ways to actually execute and apply the coating which will affect the particular properties of the end coating (hardness, wear resistance, and friction coefficient). From what I have heard though, you should find this coating MUCH more resistant to scratches, wear, and chipping when comparing it to standard PVD.
Regarding the deployment clasp, I would love it if it was really DLC coated as the clasp will take the brunt of those serious desk diver swirlies
...the specs at Steinhart don't explicitly state that it is DLC and when you look at the "accessories/rubber straps" section at Steinhart, they actually list the deployment clasp option as Black PVD (so beats me?...hopefully they provide a DLC deployment clasp on the DLC Triton).Thanks again for the detailed review and pics!
Enjoy this new Steinhart Triton!!!!
