The Ocean One Vintage Chronograph is their most characterful piece, and the Reverse Panda is the dial configuration that most collectors consider the stronger of the two.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Reverse Panda places cream sub-dials on a deep black main dial. The contrast is immediate and striking, and the black background gives the cream-toned registers, the tachymeter-printed inner chapter ring, and the red crown accent a visual weight that the ivory-background version cannot quite match. The high-domed sapphire crystal — arguably the most distinctive design element on the watch — magnifies and deepens the dial, creating a three-dimensional effect that photographs consistently underrepresent and that only makes sense in person. The black aluminium tachymeter bezel insert and the partially polished, partially satin-finished steel case round out a composition that channels the design language of 1960s and early 1970s exotic-dial chronographs with considerable conviction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 42mm the Steinhart wears larger than the vintage references it draws from, but the proportions of the case — short lugs, downward curve, compact lug-to-lug — produce a watch that sits closer to the wrist than the 42mm diameter alone suggests. The screwed-down pushers and crown confirm the construction is serious, and the exhibition caseback makes the movement worth looking at.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"678\" data-end=\"1117\"\u003eWHAT'S INSIDE:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"678\" data-end=\"1117\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Ocean One Vintage Chronograph is powered by the Dubois Dépraz DD2020 module mounted on the ETA 2824-2 TOP — a combination that produces a total jewel count of 51, against the 25 jewels of the base movement alone. The DD2020 is a Swiss-made automatic chronograph module that adds a genuine column-wheel mechanism to the 2824-2 base, providing the precise, clean pusher engagement that column-wheel architectures are specifically valued for.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eFIVEFORTYFIVE SIX MONTHS \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 42, 0);\"\u003eWARRANTY\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Steinhart","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53708640125201,"sku":"24603","price":1450.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0072\/5332\/7960\/files\/Steinhart-Ocean-One-Vintage-Chronograph-Reverse-Panda246031-7.jpg?v=1783984804","url":"https:\/\/fivefortyfive.nz\/products\/steinhart-oncean-one-vintage-chronograph-reverse-panda","provider":"FiveFortyFive","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
