    S I N N SPE ZI A LU H R E N Z U F R A NK FU RT A M M A I N It was back in 1961 that pilot and blind-flying instructor Helmut Sinn founded the company. Since then, we have been committed to producing high- specification mechanical watches.
  • Page 8 Ongoing advancement in technology and quality Our top priority has always been to develop watches that offer superior performance – both in daily and in professional use. Which is why our engineers are working continually to identify which innovative methods, materials and technologies are best suited for optimising our watches.

This ensures that a DIN 8330- compliant pilot watch is not only a suitable all-round replacement for the on-board timekeeping instruments available to pilots, but is also capable of remaining unaffected by the physical stresses of flight, posing no risk potential for the crew or aircraft, and demonstrating compatibility with other on-board instruments.
  • Page 10 In addition to our technology, the heart of any SINN watch is the fascinating mechanical movement. That is why we rely only on selected renowned manufacturers.

  • Page 13 Germanischer Lloyd (now DNV GL) has confirmed and certified the pressure resistance.
  • Page 14 A premiere: certification in accordance with European diving device standards In a standardised test situation, will a diving watch deliver the same reliable performance as, say, a breathing apparatus? To answer this question, we were the first who have watches tested and officially certified according to the European standards for diving equipment.
  • Page 15 Germanischer Lloyd (now DNV GL) has confirmed and certified the type-based test of temperature resistance and functionality in accordance with the European diving device standards EN250:2000 and EN14143:2003.
  • Page 17 In their search for a steel with the desired resistance, the SINN engineers found what they were looking for at the German submarine manufacturer ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems.
  • Page 19 U1 with the captive diver’s bezel The diver’s bezel can easily be operated while wearing diving gloves.

  • Page 21 Winding the watch (crown position 1) The crown is screwable (crown position 0). To loosen the crown, turn it counter- clockwise (crown position 1). The movement is wound by turning the crown clockwise. About 40 winds of the crown are generally enough to ensure reliable functionality.
  • Page 22 Using the diver’s bezel to measure time The diver’s bezel is a rotatable bezel that can be set to the minute and only be rotated in one direction to prevent accidental adjustment. It has a luminous main marker which can be used in various ways. It can be used to highlight important time periods.
