Whatever it is... its crashed their website!! Maybe their web server took offence at having such images places on it!
Horrible ! I suppose it might appeal to a teenage goth, not sure there are any members of this forum who would fit that category
So ugly it's crashed the website.
I like it, been trying to buy it for the last half hour. Trying.
Suspected as much. At least before they were inspired by tasteful models!

I quite like it
(I'm going to lie down in a quiet, dark room for a while.)
Just who is this watch aimed at, some 50 year old in leathers on a Harley Davidson or a 15 year old child - I'm not really sure.
It certainly won't help Steinhart's reputation on here if they start putting out joke watches.
I think they have cocked up this time.
Skull motifs have been very fashionable for quite a while, not just with bikers and goths. In fact I’d say they might be a bit late to the party (as Verv suggested) but I’d imagine it will sell out very quickly.
So much no. Unless you are the bass player in a finnish death metal band, in which case it is quite cool.
Good luck everybody. Have a good one.
You have to admire them, they don't just copy classics, they do ugly too.
F.T.F.A.
Awful looking H Samuel special
Horrid.
The skull & bones motif on the strap could also be viewed as rather too close to another, more sinister historical version. Somewhat, ahem, careless for a German company, no?
How dare you insult Argos so grossly!!!Originally Posted by ronnie3585
From which Rolex did they copy this design? Struggle to find it.
They've exhausted Rolex and moved on to Richard
Good grief, that's awful.
Wouldn’t wear it if you paid me!
Truly awful!
You beat me to it, subtle as a Range Rover evoque in metallic red with gold tinted windows and spinners.
I thought it said barbecue skull!
wont be putting my name down for such chavvi-ness
not good.
You're all wrong! I'll let you know what it's like when #79 arrives!
Barrique as in barrel shaped.
Yes, I do own a red metallic Range Rover. I’ll get my (Alexander McQueen) coat.
Had to check it wasn't April 1st. Juvenile tat!
They’re all doing it..

Free bottle of Captain Morgan's with every watch.
I can only find one redeeming feature of that Steinhart: it's a limited edition so there won't be many around!
I nearly liked it but the skull is not superluminova so I'm out.
Cannot be unseen (shivers)...
Does it have a compartment to store Pez, or maybe a small pencil eraser?
Montegrappa the pen makers also do some weird looking watches like that. I suppose Steinhart specialise in producing watches on a budget similar to ones that go for a great deal more and this is no exception. I think Steinhart have a fairly big and loyal following not just here but across Europe so my guess would be these will sell fairly well.
Not that I would buy one for some reason I quite like it (Needs lume on the skull though)
All sold out.
Oh yessss, I bet there’s not a right winger without one on his/ her wrist as we speak
Thank God. I hope the Mille ones have too.....

So a hard day on the Bridge followed by Rum and Buggery in the evening??
Must be a custom model for the Oxbridge boat racers.
Death metal is no-nonsense and all about performance, and you'd want to spend that kind of money on music gear anyway, so I'd sooner expect a G-shock (the GLS-series with the low-temp LCD in the case of Finland I suppose). If you're a drummer or a (bass) guitarist, you'd want your watch to be as lightweight as possible anyway, and I speak from my own experience here.
As for the watch, I don't like it, but I don't think it's too bad for what it is, except for the strap, which clashes badly with the design aesthetic of the watch.

Can't wait for their Cowboy Limited Edition!!
I follow them on insta, they've been doing teaser for a week about something, evidently this. Have to say, that thing is utterly repugnant, an abomination, what are they thinking.
Now I would have that Pirate one, if I could afford it, being an ex-submariner.They're not showing any originality. Just humping others designs again.

Shurely being a submariner you would wear.. erm.... A submariner??
Good luck everybody. Have a good one.
I'd rather not wear a watch than wear that massive arm-wart.
It says out of stock (and did when I received the email yesterday), so does that mean it's not yet for sale or that TZ'ers are completely out of touch with other watch buyers, who've snapped them all up already?
Personally, I think it's dreadful!

I had been keeping an eye on instagram for an update.... not for me unfortunately

More likely TZ'ers are completely out of touch. They have a loyal following like most micro brands so all they really needed was 111 loyal customers to snap them up which probably wasn't too hard a task.It says out of stock (and did when I received the email yesterday), so does that mean it's not yet for sale or that TZ'ers are completely out of touch with other watch buyers, who've snapped them all up already?

I wouldn't say "out of touch" but there is a heavy bias towards conservative sports watches here. Of course, something a little more off the wall gets applauded from time to time, but being liked has a strong positive correlation with price.
Cost was €960 too. Quite pricey
Not for me... :0(
probably ok on the Metallica merchandise stall at their gigs but not for me.
