    New arrival: Steinhart Military (now BOTH dials!)

    I found a "little" gem in the back catalogue of the Steinhart portfolio and brought home this watch yesterday... :)

    Technical Details
    Type: Military automatic white
    Item no.: MY0602

    Movement
    ETA 2824-2 automatic, made in Switzerland
    Jewels: 25 jewels

    Functions
    hour and minute
    central second hand
    date at 6 o'clock

    Case: stainless steel, brushed
    Back: stainless steel screwed (engraved)
    Diameter: 42 mm
    height: 12 mm
    Weight: 110 g
    Dial: white, superluminova C 3 with date at 6 o'clock
    Crystal: sapphire, domed, with double anti-reflection coating on the interior side
    Bezel: stainless steel brushed
    Indices: arabic, superluminova C3
    Lug width: 22 mm
    WaterRes: limited water resistant, no swimming or shower















    Doesn't look like 42mm on my wirst (8.5")






    I like the rather flat case of the watch very much


    got a buckle from Rios1931 on the Steinhart canvas strap... it doesn't strain the holes of the strap as much as the original OEM buckle.



    Look at that dial! :mrgreen:



    ...and two lumeshots!

    Very nice :) I'm not usually keen on non-pointy hands, but it seems to work on this watch.

    Enjoy!

    Congratulations! Enjot it! :thumbright:

    I've always admired the Steinhart Military black dial but the lack of any WR stopped me buying it.
    I wash a lot of dishes and I'm bound to ruin it :roll:

    Thanks you guys!

    Well, dishwashing shouldn't be a problem with this watch (if you attach it to a waterproof strap that is!)

    It seems it would be water resistant enough to withstand even swimming, but I wouldn't recommend it for diving or jumping into the pool from a turret. (which some people did with their B watches in the past, that's why Steinhart changed the rating from 3ATM to "limited water resistance" on the site... :wink: )

    But still... always have your watch pressure tested at least once a year, before getting it in or under the water! :blackeye:

    Nice example. Your right it plays much larger on your wrist. Looks good.

    Clean :!:

    Why would it be named ´Military´ as it has no 24H scale?

    Doesn't look much like any of the military watches I own, but I rather like the look of it :)

    Oh look there, they finally found some C3 Superluminova. Along with the pretty much non-existent water resistance, the fact that they were using C1 is what put me off their Flieger and Nav B Chrono.

    That's quite a good looking watch, congratulations.

    Really like that, would happily fit in my collection :) Enjoy..

    Thank you very much.

    The design of the dial (at least of the black version) is based on a german soldiers watch out of WWII... apparently those didn't have the 24 hour markings.



    The C3 is very strong, the watch starts to glow after just a little exposure to light. Nicely done! :mrgreen:

    I already commented on water resistance... but as I don't wear any of my watches (not even the divers!) in the water or for anything that involves water or dirt that's not a problem for me... :D

    No soldier needs a 24 hour dial. I'm an old fart and have been out for years yet i still think in a 24 hour clock. Putting the additional numerals on just clutters the dial and is akin to using training wheels on a bike :shock:

    Forgot to mention that it's a very attractive watch. Clean and simple.

    Really nice watch that I'd never seen before. Those big white dials really do wear larger than their dimensions. Enjoy! 8)

    Er... That's not a deployant, just a different type of buckle. I do not know how those are called.

    Like mine but I do find it wears quite big. The strap is also fairly thick which adds to that overall impression. As already stated, - good lume.

    That looks as if the numbers were lumed as well? Advantage black.

    I really like the black face! What is the overall length of the band on the watch. I have an 8.5 inch wrist.
