DE A R CU STO M E R , We know from numerous conversations that the people who buy our watches do so out of conviction. This includes people with a pronounced affinity to technology who are fascinated, for example, by the solutions we have devised for protection from magnetic fields and scratch resistance.

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.

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.

complex type and unit verification process. 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.

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.
The silver reverse panda counters for the stopwatch minutes and the sweep second hand on the 103 St C capture this clear readability in their reversed colours. The pilot’s bezel can also be used to read off stop times of up to one hour.

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.
USING THE CHRONOGRAPH TO MEASURE TIME The chronograph is operated by means of buttons A and B. The measurement starts when button A is pressed once. Pressing this button again stops the measurement. The measurement is resumed by pressing button A once more. This allows you to add up and record the cumulative time.
USING THE PILOT’S BEZEL TO MEASURE TIME The pilot’s bezel can be moved manually in both directions. The triangle glows in the dark. It can be used in a number of ways, including to measure important lengths of time. For example, you can set the marking to the beginning of the time span to be measured, or you can use it to indicate the end of a given span of time.
If you are not sure how to assemble, shorten or lengthen the watch straps, please contact your specialist SINN retailer directly or one of our watchmakers in customer service in Frankfurt am Main. We would also be happy to help you over the telephone.

Adjusting the length of the silicone strap (optional) 1. Release the silicone band from the clasp. To do so, use the pointed end of the band replacement tool to push the spring bar out of the fastener. The other side of the spring bar can be removed while the fastener is open, enabling you to remove the silicone band.

Assembling the butterfly folding clasp as follows (optional) We recommend first inserting the bar at the red marker, as per the illustration. If the silicone strap is too tight, use the option shown in the illustration by the white marker. Hole for spring bar: Hole for spring bar: Tight-fitting strap...
