I thot Sinn was all about diving watches (I really like their U1 Phantom :Praying:) but was surprised when I came across this piece in Feb this year. My heart was snagged by the long horology fishing line and I knew I must have it... so it made the journey across the South China Sea not long after that.
The 1746 Klassik comes from their classic masterpiece range which shares the same lineage as the Regulateur, and Skeletonised Gold Chronograph.
The key factors in its development are focused on functionality and aesthetics. I just love the black and white contrast, the vitreous enamel dial, roman numerals and sword hands. The 42mm size also fits me nicely.
Hope you'll enjoy the few pics below. Will also post some excerpts from Sinn's website.
Cheers! Have a nice Sunday! :Cheers:

Borrowed from Sinn:
"With its simple elegance and classic design, Model 1746 Classic is the perfect symbol of style. The clear focus on hour, minute and date in a window is one of the most striking characteristics: nothing distracts from the classic design of the case. This visual impression is underscored by the pure white vitreous enamel dial of especially high quality. The logo 'Sinn Frankfurt am Main' is at once the indication of origin and proof of quality. With its tasteful restraint, it leaves plenty of room for the Roman numerals on the dial ring, thus enabling optimal readability.
Model 1746 Classic enchants its wearers with its elegance and technical sophistication. The case is made of polished stainless steel, while the scratch-resistance, high-domed sapphire crystal glass has an anti-reflective coating on both sides. The transparent sapphire crystal glass back with its interior anti-reflective coating gives you an impressive view of the exquisitely decorated movement with blued screws. And as expected, the watch is ideally suited for everyday use: it is shock-resistant, anti-magnetic, water-resistant, pressure-resistant to 10 bar (corresponds to 100 m water depth) and low pressure resistant."

Thanks mates. Yes, the watch looks even better in person... esp the pure white enamel. :Cheers:
Have sent the PMs.
I just saw the porcelain one today too. Very nice. I've always like porcelain stuff..... and now on a watch!! Oh, here comes the horogical hook again! :Startled:
-
The black and white contrast is very nice. Love the enamel dial. The small date window is just exquisite. Very nice watch.
Never pay attention to Sinn's dress watch until you bring it up. Thanks so much for spreading poison. ;D
Also, congrats & wear it in good health.
-
Hahaha, thanks bro. I cant handle too much poison... so better to spread it around... :laugh:
-
Ya, your poison spreading techniques are always improving. ;D
Actually I always thought you are an avid vintage chrono fan.
No more love for the A386, Anti-Choc or Heritage Chrono? or Seiko 6138?
-
there are so many types of poison... spido, snaky, scorpion, centipede, obor2, :HammerHead:
I still like vintage watches but am mindful of the maintenance costs... just keeping to some cheaper watches for now.
But am going HK nx week.... only God knows what I might come across there but will have to practise self-control... :angel:
