GEN Steinhart Marine Chronometer II

Any Steinhart fans here? Just picked this one up today... made the deal on the bay. :D
 
Steinhart Marine Chronometer II, UNITAS 6498 movement, decorated bridges.
 
The photos don't do this watch any justice... this must be a very hard watch to photograph showing the beautiful blue hands AND the swirls on the seconds dial. There are a lot of bad ones out there, these are the best of borrowed pics. Will attempt to shoot my own tomorrow... with no light box!

The watch itself is absolutely stunning!! :wub: :wub: :wub:
 
I love the circular decorations on the movement bridges.
 
 
 
 
There are 2 types of decorated movements for this piece... I believe the older models have Geneva stripes with gold base instead of circular engravings.

I like Steihart watches. They should get rid of that awful logo though. Congrats on the new watch.  : )

 

 

You mean the logo on the movement? I actually like it, lol!

 

Thanks, wearing it now.... I was worried that it might wear too big but it wears my small wrist really well.

 

Quick wrist shot:

That is a lovely looking watch.

I have a Steinhart vintage Military and absolutely love it.

For the price of a high end rep it represents fantastic value and build quality.

A testament to the quality of Steinhart watches is there resale value. I have actually seen second hand watches go for near brand new cost.

It's a beautiful watch you have there and I may have to add one to my collection
