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 20 times the standard.

Standard for pilot's watches (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 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.
M o d el Se r i e S 8 5 6 Just how functional can a watch be? This is a question we've been asking ourselves since founding the company. And the answer? Our cockpit navigation clocks. Conceived for the instrument panels of aeroplanes and helicopters, and optimised to provide rapid and clear readability, they are specifically designed to offer time measurement in its purest form.

856 utC also features a range of technologies which, together, guarantee maximum reliability even in the most extreme of conditions. in addition, the 856 utC has a second time zone on a 24-hour basis with a hand which helps to locate the points of the compass. the hand is designed in the form of an arrow for this very purpose.

M o d el Se r i e S 8 57 Based on the 856 series, and designed as a functional instrument watch in the tradition of our cockpit navigation clocks, this pilot's watch also features a pilot's bezel which permits its wearer to measure or check set time intervals.

Winding the watch (crown position 1) the crown is screwable (crown position 0). to loosen the crown, turn it counter- clockwise. the movement is wound by turning the crown clockwise. about 40 winds of the crown are generally enough to ensure reliable functionality. under normal circumstances, simply wearing the watch every day should suffice to keep the self-winding mechanism wound.
