Sinn Diving Watch
« 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?

Please take note. not all models where the complete case are made of TEGIMENT Technology
In the basic model, only the bezel are of tegiment steel. correct me if I am wrong.

dc
I am almost a recovered watchaholic, but last checked shows only 70% recovered. How?

yep...there is a difference between full (case) tegimented and bezel only..

can read here..

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.

on a regular basis i check out the available watches on the wan to sell discussion but rarely i see any 1 selling the sinn u1s or u2s...if got also it gets sold real fast...i guess its a must have watch as it is probably very durable put aside the fact that it is a nice looking watch..
