Title: Sinn Diving Watch
Post by: Watchnewby on August 09, 2011, 11:48:13 AM: I was told that the Sinn brand of watch used outer hull of submarine steel to make the cases of their divers watch. As far as I know, submarine steel is seawater resistant and anti-magnetic.
The models are U1, U2 and UX.
Can any Sinn fan here confirm the above?

In the basic model, only the bezel are of tegiment steel. correct me if I am wrong.

There's even a short article on Sinn's tegiment vs Damasko's ice hardening..

To me, it was the case of red lego block hands vs the yellow mesmerizing hands .... :Laughing_on_floor:

Good for you acurusaragon.
I can only imagined - submarine hull for casing with fully tegimented processed steel.
