For sale is a superb example of this Swiss Steinhart Ocean Vintage Military 300m Stainless Steel Watch.

Excellent Swiss-made watch, tribute to a very specific, rare and interesting 1970s model of the Rolex Submariner, the ref. 5517 Mil-Sub. The 5517 was a military issue Submariner for the British Royal Navy in the early 70’s. As a non-civilian model, it had some special design details that make it truly unique in the Sub family. The two most noticeable differences are in the hands and bezel insert. The 5517 lacks the iconic Mercedes hour hand and instead has a broad and stubby sword hand, and the bezel insert has individual minute markers going all around the bezel, rather than just from 0-15.

The watch is a Swiss made automatic Men's Divers Watch with Sapphire Crystal, Swiss ETA 2824 movement- reliable work horse and easy to maintain.


It comes with the Original Steinhart Stainless Steel Bracelet as well as a Phoenix military grade grey NATO watch strap, similar to what the original military watch would have been issued with.

Very good condition for age, keeps good time and runs perfectly, smooth bezel action.

Excellent aesthetic condition, no disfiguring marks or knocks. Minor wear only. Please see pictures.

Please note the watch does not come with original box or papers.
