New Steinhart "Racetimer"

Eoin

I really like the look of this. A bit expensive for me at 890 on leather (940 on a bracelet).

I don't know watches well enough to know if this is more of an original design than some of their other models, but I love the retro styling but in a decent size of 44mm (decent size for me anyway, I don't like smaller watches).

It's available with a blue, black or brown bezel and has the Valjoux 7750 movement.

Not so much a homage as some of their other watches, but definately takes some design cues from an old Tudor Oysterdate Chrono (or the modern Tudor Heritage Chrono):



I have to say I like it, perhaps best in black.

super meh for me - the colour palette and dial are just too busy

Deep Thought

Quite like the brown one...its the only colour i am missing...

I'm telling ya, the 70's are back



The following may or may not have served as an inspiration:


Junghans Olympic (for the 1972 Olympics in Munich)



and one of the recent Junghans 1972 re-issues

Not a million miles away from the Hamilton Pan Europ either.

Lovely.

I'm on the fence for the moment with the Steinhart, that 70's Junghans reissue is tasty though.

I'm not that much into colourful watches but that does appeal to me for some reason. On the close up in particular, the finish looks superb. I've a Tag Monaco that I'm not wearing and seeing watches like the above makes me think I should try move it on and splash out on something fresh like that.

I like it too (in blue) but I'd rather it was a 42mm and not a 44mm.

(and no, I'm not going to translate ...just look at the pictures, alright )

Please excuse my terrible MS Paint skills, but here's what it could look like with a bit less going on in the dial.

You mean, i.e., "not as nice"!???

Errr? I'm not certain that's accurate but, I don't "Germans" all that well either, so ... but perhaps your translation might have been safer?
