Sinn Spezialuhren, a prominent German watchmaking enterprise, is widely acknowledged for its production of timepieces that are not only of high quality but also durable and technologically advanced.
Established by Helmut Sinn in Frankfurt in 1961, the company has consistently adhered to principles of precision, functionality, and innovation, thereby securing a reputable position within the watch industry.
In its most recent creation, the Sinn 356 Pilot Classic Anniversary timepiece, the brand looks back to its history, paying homage to the success of its predecessors in the 356 series.
Originating as a special edition for the Japanese market in 1996, this model has evolved over the years while retaining a classically elegant aesthetic. The chronograph’s journey underscores a dedication to timeless design, where both form and function converge to provide a dependable timekeeping experience.
The limited-edition 356 Pilot Classic Anniversary chronograph embodies the quintessence of watchmaking craftsmanship. Restricted to just 500 pieces, this vintage-inspired timepiece commemorates the 25th anniversary of the esteemed model, blending aesthetic allure with technical finesse seamlessly.
Fashioned from satinised stainless steel, the 38.5mm case emanates both elegance and durability. The anthracite electroplated dial, featuring a scale for quarter-second measurements in short-time intervals, adds a touch of sophistication.
The sapphire crystal caseback and transparent crystal offer a glimpse into the high-precision mechanical movement propelling this timepiece.
Engineered to endure the test of time, the 356 Pilot Classic Anniversary is waterproof and pressure-resistant up to 10 bar (100 meters), establishing itself as a dependable companion in diverse environments.
With a bi-compax arrangement of matte silver chronograph counters – a distinctive feature reserved for this model series – the dial achieves a harmonious balance. The ‘Flieger Klassik’ legend makes its debut at 6 o’clock, paying special homage to the series. The applied Sinn logo, positioned at 12 o’clock, completes the aesthetic symmetry.
Rhodium-plated hands for hours, minutes, and the central chronograph seconds, coupled with a luminous coating, ensure readability in any lighting condition. The small seconds and 30-minute counter, presented in silky-matte anthracite, contribute to the visually striking design.
The high-domed sapphire-crystal glass, featuring anti-reflective coating on both sides, ensures a clear view of the dial, even under extreme conditions. The caseback, also made of sapphire crystal, reveals a limited-edition identifier on the rotor, adding an extra layer of exclusivity.
Powered by a high-precision, self-winding Sellita SW150 movement with a stop-seconds function, the 356 Pilot Classic Anniversary guarantees an impressive power reserve of more than 56 hours.
Accompanied by two locally manufactured straps crafted from nubuck boar leather, the watch is priced at €2,990 and is available for order at sinn.de, with international delivery taking one to two weeks.
