Seriously drooling over this one. If I didnt have the U50 I'd probably pulled the trigger already. :)

Man a solar quartz would take the cake

[@SeanCahill-h5o]

Wonder if the solar tech would work with the oil filled dial

[@K.J.H_]

Can't see why not, the light is passing right through. Providing the oil didn't degrade the panel in some way like the old oil used to with dials.

[@yorkan213swd6]

I am not quit sure if the oil needs also a refreshment. So you cannot bypass the service.

[@DBR6464]

Cool watch, the only problem is the servicing when you need a new battery, so I'm sticking to my U50

As the owner of a couple of Sinns, I'd buy this in a heartbeat if the hands were 'lego' and not like on the UX S.

[@DallenRex]

Meanwhile there is another group of us waiting for a mechanical sub steel U50 with the sword hands, so we can finally buy one. I swear they should just let us choose between the two handsets for their divers. They'd sell so many more.

[@esisolina]

Same here, I would have bought this watch instantly with the straight? Lego? hands like on the Mechanical version

[@Hadzie]

Nah Lego looks cheap, these are far better and more legible

[@andrewd7586]

What’s the longevity of the battery? Would you have to send it back to the dealer to have it changed because of the oil?

[@nishiki393]

The first person who commented already answered that question. The answer is: apparently, yes.

[@JPdeRuiter]

@@nishiki393 Hm, that kinda sucks.

[@yorkan213swd6]

@@JPdeRuiter With all respect, you are probably not right guy for this watch. That's a Toolwatch, not a watch for daily ordinary use. The Oilservice costs about 250 Euro you have to pay every 3rd year. That does not make sense for daily - I repeat : ordinary - use. Yes, I know, do Lamborghinis makes sense ?

Sinn probably is the most innovative watch brand in the world.

Wish they would bring back the u200

[@hugov392]

Still waiting for the new 903 series.

amazing

[@wornandwound]

Thanks

Do a side shot please ppl want to see the thickness on the wrist right

[@mrautomatech2329]

It’s very thin. Really nice wearability

[@nishiki393]

FYI, per Gemini: The watch brand Sinn is pronounced like "sin" in English. However, it's worth noting that some people pronounce it with a soft "z" sound, like "zinn," which is closer to the original German pronunciation.

[@JPdeRuiter]

It is pronounced with an initial 'Z'. Pronouncing it with an 's' sound is wrong (but funny).

[@r.stanley1049]

Helmut Sinn’s name as well as that of the watch company is correctly pronounced Zinn.

[@zillsburyy1]

sinn screwed me on their warranty

[@johndobbs300]

Love Sinn - but it wil take more than an oil filled quartz watch to spend an enormous amount of money- too gimmicky

[@tarichar8]

I hate quartz watches. Who wants to worry about having to change batteries every three years. Specially in a liquid filled watch that you have to send back to the factory.

[@DM-rc4yu]

Courts, really?

[@65hi863dhyu]

10 year battery life. And I do as I'm wearing my Explorer 124270. Highly functional tool watch.

[@DivayChandra]

You love to get mechanical movements serviced for $$$ instead??

[@tarichar8]

@@DivayChandra yep. And I only get them serviced about once every 10 years.

[@DivayChandra]

@@tarichar8 just curious as I'm considering buying a mechanical versus a quartz watch.... Does the watch start to lose accuracy towards the later part of that 10-year period... And how much does it cost to get it serviced?

[@stevem863]

I mean. Eh.

[@Iuckylukey]

I would like Sinn to remove seconds hands on their quartz watches because they have the giveaway and annoying tick of quartz and not the sweep of an automatic.

[@kubectlgetpo]

Quartz. No.

[@TheCdM1981]

$2500-$3k for a quartz Sinn. Nope!
