Product Details
|
This watch is designed for those who love the pure and simple look of vintage Flieger (flight) watches, but prefer the larger case and dial sizes in use today.
The History
For many years, the Sinn 356 series has been a best seller, in all of the different formats. In fact, it remains popular today, even though its case size of 38.5 mm is a bit small for some.
Sinn has been working on a new in-house case design of 42 mm to house their latest Flieger watch at their case making facility in Glashutte, Germany. This case was put into the Sinn line for the first time at the 2011 Basel Watch Fair and was launched as the Sinn 358 Limited Edition.
The look of this watch is striking, and just as the Sinn 356 models quickly took off when they were released many years ago, we predict the same demand for these new Sinn 358 watches.
It's All in the Crystal
When sapphire crystal is highly domed, it must be made in a special way such that the center is actually thicker and stronger than the crystal sides to protect the crystal from shattering.
Further, all of this must be done in a way that the optics do not distort the dial.
The Sinn 358 Sapphire uses a highly domed front sapphire crystal which is very difficult and timely to produce, and therefore adds significantly to the cost of this watch.
Other Features
The case back is nickel free offering protection to those with allergic reactions to this metal.
Satinized steel case with solid case back. Dial is black with traditional three sub dials and features Arabic numerals. Watch is water resistant to 100 meters. This watch features a black Sinn calf leather strap with tang buckle.
One feature that many of our clients prefer in this watch is that it shows both the month and day at the 3 position.
