1961, we have focused on the creation of high-quality mechanical watches. nowadays, watch lovers associate innovation and patents with the name of Sinn Spezialuhren. and it’s not just our diving watches that stand for high performance, robustness, and durability, quality and precision.

– including compliance with european diving device standards, which is unique in the watch industry. i am delighted that you have decided to buy a Sinn diving watch and hope that it will continue to give you pleasure for many years to come.
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.

Advancements in endurance testing take, for example, the absolutely condensation- free, anti-reflective, german submarine steel diving watch – made possible by hYdro technology. other examples include a chronometer chronograph fashioned from a 22-carat gold alloy that is as hard as stainless steel and a chronometer with a magnetic resistance of up to 80,000 a/m.

(teStaF) by aachen university of applied Sciences since 2012. the teStaF, the result of a research project at the initiative of Sinn Spezialuhren, ensures that a pilot’s watch meets all timekeeping requirements during flight operations in accordance with visual and/or instrumental flight regulations and is suitable for professional use.

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.
d n V Gl C e rt i Fi e S Si n n d i Vi n G WatC h e S So what does DNV GL (formerly Germanischer Lloyd) have to do with a watch manufacturer from Frankfurt am Main? The renowned company tests and certifies our diving watches according to a variety of criteria.

Germanischer lloyd (now dnV Gl) has confirmed and certified the pressure resistance.

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.

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.
Faultless operation, even when diving at 1,000 meters (= 100 bars) in terms of usability of the chronograph function, Sinn has once more set innovative new benchmarks here, in a number of respects. the pusher function, for example, can also be used underwater and, thanks to its large, unscrewed pushers, operated easily even when wearing diver’s gloves.

Guaranteed to work between –45°C and + 80°C Sinn’s special oil and an adjusted position tolerance of the parts in the u1000 guarantee operation at temperatures ranging from − 45 °C to + 80 °C. German submarine steel guarantees seawater resistance First-class material quality makes this diving watch completely resistant to external influences.
S i n n MoVe M e nt S z0 2 The SZ movement 02 is a modification of the SZ01 movement, characterized by an off-center 60-minute counter. the Valjoux 7750, by contrast, only has a 30-minute chronograph counter. Stopped times are difficult to see on this standard caliber as the interim marks of the hour counter are very close to the hour indices.

Perfect freedom from fogging all watches in this series are water-resistant as per din 8310. but even with watertight instruments, the air enclosed in the case contains water in a gaseous state. and air can also penetrate the seals. When the water vapour in the case condenses into liquid, the instruments are impossible to read.
t h e Ca pti Ve d iV er ’ S Sa Fe t Y b e ze l The construction of the rotating bezel is extremely important in terms of safety. To prevent any risks to the life and health of the diver, the solution we use for the captive diver’s bezel is based on two elements.

How to adjust the set time using the captive safety bezel 1. to adjust the set time, first unlock the bezel. press it down on opposite sides using two fingers. it is not possible to unlock the bezel using just one finger. 2.

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.
