Baselworld 2015: SINN Novelties Highlights
German watch brand SINN is known for its technological features and innovation in watchmaking. Robustness, functionality and reliability are the must-have attributes in all its timepieces, notwithstanding quality and precision. The Baselworld 2015 novelties are a proud testament of SINN’s engineering of a powerful breed of time instruments fit for professional use. SINN timekeepers, termed Mission Timers, are associated with professional divers, pilots, special unit GSG 9 of the German federal police. These specialized group of professions rely on their watches for their missions; time precision and the ability to withstand challenging conditions are important prerequisites of their time instruments. SINN holds in its fortress a collection of innovative timepieces that guarantee functionality and reliability, perpetuated in these new 2015 time instruments.
SINN EZM 7 S
The Mission Timer 7 – developed for the fire brigade
SINN has designed the Mission Timer EZM 7 S for use in the toughest conditions. It is particularly resilient to the penetration of water and dust, to scratches, temperature change and the influence of magnetic forces. Thanks to its colour-coded rotating bezel, the EZM 7 S is easy to operate, making it child’s play for people using breathing protection apparatus to set and read off key durations – from CSA to LPA. The stainless steel case is hardened using TEGIMENT Technology, making it especially scratch-resistant. This TEGIMENT case surface also provides the base for the high-quality Black Hard Coating (PVD coating) which dramatically reduces wear and tear of the coloured coating. The Ar-Dehumidifying Technology guarantees greater functional reliability and freedom from fogging for accuracy in timekeeping. The EZM 7 S is ideal for heavy-duty use by the fire brigade or rescue services. Limited to 300 units.
SINN EZM 3F
The mission timer with Magnetic Field Protection and countdown bezel
The SINN EZM 3F is a classic pilot watch, featuring a countdown pilot’s bezel with minute ratcheting. For better readability, the two-way rotating bezel has a striking, luminous triangular marker at 12 o’clock. Also striking is the positioning of the crown on the left-hand side of the bead-blasted case. This ensures greater freedom of movement and better protection for the crown. The instrumental watch is equipped with Ar-Dehumidifying Technology, Magnetic Field Protection and temperature technology to ensure reliable functioning in a temperature range from – 45 °C up to + 80 °C.
SINN 240 St
A sporty watch with interior pilot’s bezel
Key functions and clarity are the all-important features of the SINN 240 St. With its classic design based on traditional styles, the 43mm diameter 240 St is distinguished by those unique characteristics which mark it clearly as a SINN watch. These include a resistance to low pressure and pressure resistance up to 10 bar (= 100 m water depth). The interior pilot’s bezel with luminous triangular main marker enables precise monitoring of defined periods of time. The case made of bead-blasted stainless steel features a sapphire crystal glass. Perfect readability, even at night, is ensured by the luminous hands and indices. The SINN 240 St also features the date and weekday, which can be displayed in German or English simply by adjusting the crown.
SINN 104 St Sa A
The classic pilot’s watch
The SINN 104 St Sa A is a classic pilot’s watch in the SINN tradition. The dial is clearly structured, with its three hands providing optimum readability of the time, date and day of the week down to the second. The pilot’s bezel with minute ratcheting can be rotated on both sides and is securely attached to the case. It has a luminous triangle as key mark at the 12 o’clock position. The instrument watch has a polished stainless steel case and a crystal made of sapphire crystal which is also used for the transparent back. The transparent back allows the filigree work of the mechanical movement to be admired in all its intricacy. The SINN 104 St Sa A is a low pressure resistant and can withstand pressures of up to 20 bar (= 200 m water depth).
SINN 903 St B E
The navigation chronograph
In addition to a fascinating variety of features, the navigation chronograph SINN 903 St B E boasts a functionally reliable dark blue dial with luminous ivory coated hands and indices. Watch lovers appreciate the attention to detail – and the impressive clarity in how the functions are arranged. The watch also impresses those who enjoy performing analogue calculations with a classic slides rule. The positioning of an additional crown at 10 o’clock enables mathematical operations and is used to rotate the slide rule bezel with logarithmic scale. It also allows users to perform multiplication, division and cross-multiplication as well as other useful calculations such as fuel consumption, speed, distance and time. Additional watch features include a chronograph function for measuring and recording periods of time.
SINN 6068
The Frankfurt Financial District Watch
The Frankfurt Financial District Watch Model SINN 6068 represents a successful combination of aesthetics and functionality which offers outstanding clarity and ease of use. The watch thus seamlessly joins the popular series which has won many fans since its launch in 1999, both in Frankfurt and beyond. Its design features are in keeping with the tried-and-tested technical details characteristic of the series. For instance, the model 6068 allows you to display two time zones on a 12-hour basis. The case is made of polished stainless steel and encloses the black electroplated dial with sunburst decoration. The attached appliques are coated with luminous paint, as are the hour and minute hands. The transparent case back reveals the exquisitely decorated movement with rotor engraving of the bull and bear – symbols of the financial stock market.
