Steinhart sells the 2 current Ocean 39 nova models from Germany at €740 and €850 including 19% VAT, and shows no dollar figure at all. The 2 rows share one case, 39 mm, 46.78 mm lug to lug, 12.5 mm thick, 300 m, so the movement is the whole difference.
Checked 20 September 2026 · list prices on the maker's site that day unless marked street
Steinhart sells direct from steinhartwatches.de and prices in euros with 19% German VAT included; there is no US storefront, and the product pages carry the ex-VAT figure beside the list price, €621.85 for the Ocean One and €714.29 for the GMT, which is the number a buyer outside the EU starts from before duties. Both were in stock on 20 September 2026. Every price on this page is the euro figure on the maker's site that day, nothing is converted, and the site blocks scripted fetches, so the figures were read in a browser.
The table holds the 2 nova models, and the spec sheets settle the rest: 316L steel, 20 mm lugs, a medium-domed sapphire with a double anti-reflective coating on the inside, ceramic bezel inserts, Super-LumiNova BGW9, and Sellita movements in Elaboré grade with hacking. The older Ocean 39 lines were still listed beside them at check, the Adventure Classic at €530, the Pink-Gold Ceramic at €550, the Metropole at €600, the GMT black-red at €710, the GMT.2 at €740 and the Titan Premium at €810; their spec sheets were not pulled, so they are named here and not tabled.
Read the table by movement, since the case does not move. The Ocean One 39 nova black runs the Sellita SW200-1 Elaboré under a unidirectional black ceramic bezel. The Ocean GMT 39 nova blue-red runs the SW330-2 Elaboré under a bidirectional 24-hour bezel with a blue-red ceramic insert, and the €110 between them is that movement and that bezel.
The Steinhart to buy at €740 including VAT (€621.85 before it): 39 mm, 46.78 mm lug to lug, 12.5 mm thick, 300 m, Sellita SW200-1 in Elaboré grade with 26 jewels and hacking, a unidirectional black ceramic bezel, medium-domed sapphire with double AR inside, BGW9 lume, 20 mm lugs, 316L. In stock at check. Christopher Ward's Trident Pro 300 40 mm is the same movement, depth and ceramic bezel at £960, 1.2 mm thinner and 0.67 mm longer. Baltic's Aquascaphe MK2 39.5 mm is €110 less at 200 m on a Miyota 9039 and 12.9 mm thick. Buy the Steinhart for the SW200-1 and the 300 m at €740; the 12.5 mm is the trade against the Trident.
The GMT at €850 including VAT (€714.29 before it), €110 over the Ocean One for the Sellita SW330-2 Elaboré and a bidirectional 24-hour bezel with a blue-red ceramic insert. The case is the Ocean One's, 39 mm, 46.78 mm lug to lug, 12.5 mm thick, 300 m, 20 mm lugs. The SW330-2 is a caller GMT, so the 24-hour hand is the one you set. Baltic's Aquascaphe GMT MK-II is the same €850 on a Miyota 9075 true GMT at 200 m and 13.8 mm; Christopher Ward's Trident GMT 300 is the same Sellita at £1,215 and 11.7 mm. The Steinhart is the 300 m one at €850; the Baltic is the one whose local hour jumps.
Steinhart is for the buyer who wants a Sellita in Elaboré grade, 300 m and a ceramic bezel at a euro figure, and who is content to pay in euros and settle duties on arrival. One case at 39 mm and 46.78 mm lug to lug suits a 6.5 to 7.25 inch wrist, and 12.5 mm is the height to measure against a cuff. Look elsewhere if you want a dollar price on the maker's site, since Christopher Ward shows one for the Trident at $1,320 and Tissot's Seastar 1000 40 mm lists at $875; if thickness matters, since the Lorier Neptune is 10.3 mm at 200 m for $699 and the Trident Pro 300 40 mm is 11.3 mm; or if you want a GMT whose local hour jumps, since the SW330-2 sets its 24-hour hand instead, and Baltic's Aquascaphe GMT MK-II at the same €850 and Lorier's Hyperion at $799 run the Miyota 9075.
Where it sits against the field
In euros the Ocean One at €740 sits €110 above the Baltic Aquascaphe MK2 39.5 mm (€630, Miyota 9039, 200 m, 47 mm lug to lug, 12.9 mm) and €10 above the Aquascaphe Titanium (€730, 300 m, 41 mm, 13.3 mm); the Steinhart is the Swiss-movement one and the thinnest of the three. Against the Swiss-franc Certina DS Action Diver 40.5 mm at CHF 835 (Powermatic 80, 300 m, 14.1 mm) it is 1.6 mm thinner. In sterling Christopher Ward's Trident Pro 300 40 mm at £960 is the closest match on the sheet, same SW200-1, same 300 m, same ceramic, 1.2 mm thinner. The GMT at €850 meets the Baltic GMT MK-II at exactly €850, where Steinhart offers 300 m on a Sellita caller and Baltic 200 m on a Miyota true GMT; the Trident GMT 300 at £1,215 is the same movement rated the same depth, 0.8 mm thinner.
