Zitat von »"bungy3000"«

Mal sehen, ob das Teil auch optisch in die € 3.000 - Liga passt. Die tegimentierten Oberflächen waren bislang alle leicht grau-perlgestrahlt und verfügten damit nicht über den in dieser Preisklasse gern gesehenen Bling-Bling....

Nich t jeder, der 3.000 € für eine Uhr ausgibt, will damit "posen" und bevorzugt daher einen auffälligen Look. Es soll ja auch u. a. etliche Leute geben, die nicht riskieren wollen, daß man ihrer Uhr den Preis ansieht und ihnen für ihren Wecker eins über den Schädel zieht...

Dann muss mal hat am rechten Arm eine schwere Goldkette als Ausgleichsgewicht tragen.
Sinn hat ja schonmal eine sehr unauffällige Uhr gebaut, die mit dem eingebauten Kompass.

Sounds pretty cool... and will probably be a pretty penny..

Sinn U-1000 Submarine Chronograph

Sinn will release two brand new diver's chronograph watches - the Sinn U-1000 in submarine steel, and the Sinn U-1000 Schwarz in submarine steel (black). These new watches will represent a breakthrough in the amount of technology applied to a single watch model:

* All tegimented case, bezel, pushers, crown and back. The Sinn tegimenting process hardens the submarine steel to four times the hardness of the steel used in standard watches.
* Water resistant to 1,000 meters, and fully pressure tested to operate the chronograph functions at this depth. Sinn has built a special testing machine that will operate the chronograph pushers while the water and pressure tests are being performed.
* Sinn's special movement SZ-02 will be the engine on this new watch. The SZ-02 is an in-house modification to the Valjoux 7750 and features a 60 minute register at 6.
* This chronograph will be designated "EZM 6." The EZM designation certifies that the watch has been built and tested to standards required by the German GSG-9 Special Forces.
* The chronograph functions and crown will be located on the left side of the watch.
This watch will feature a new "lock and push" bezel system, developed and patented by Sinn CEO Lothar Schmidt. This bezel design serves two purposes - first, the bezel cannot be accidentally "knocked off" the case as it is attached by screws. And next, the bezel is locked into place until pressure is applied to push it down, at which time it will click to the left. The benefit to this locking system is that the bezel cannot be accidentally moved or clicked when timing an important event, such as dives.
* Sinn's "Dry Hold" technology - a combination of gasket seals and dehumidifying capsules to protect the movement and the watch itself from moisture and humidity.
* Both the crown and the chronograph pushers are oversized to allow easy operation with gloves.
* The chronograph measures 44 mm by 18 mm.
* Uses Sinn special oil which allows for safe operation in extreme temperature changes or environments
* The first pieces will be available in March, 2008, and this watch will be a highlight at the Sinn Basel Fair presentation.
* The black model will be fully tegimented to provide a more durable and scratch resistant finish for the PVD coating
Sinn has developed a prototype which WatchBuys calls nothing short of amazing. Additional changes will be made through the end of the year after which time the watch will move into final production.
* WatchBuys will begin accepting pre-orders for this watch soon, and we will also post a "first look" picture of the watch once the final design changes are made.
