Sinn 856 UTC Tegimented on Bracelet

Product Details

The Sinn 856 has become a favorite for those seeking a dual time zone watch.

This watch features "Tegiment" technology. Standard steel used by most watch companies has a hardness of between 200 and 240 HV (Hardness Vickers is a common scale used to measure material hardness). The Tegiment layer has a hardness of 1,200 Vickers which is up to five times harder than standard steel.

The Tegiment layer is not a coating consisting of a foreign material, instead the steel itself that has been hardened using a special engineering process that creates a hardened barrier. The base material is a type of stainless steel also used for surgical implants, and the stainless steel resistance to corrosion is even further improved by the Tegiment hardening process.

Next, this case offers magnetic field protection of up to 80,000 A/m, among the highest for any mechanical watch. The case back is nickel free offering protection to those with allergic reactions to this metal.

And for those that don't encounter magnetic fields on a regular basis, it's just a great watch to wear every day.

The case features a copper sulphate capsule which reacts with moisture to diffuse and absorb humidity in the watch.

A small yellow hand indicates the second time zone on a small 24-hour scale.

Sand-blasted stainless steel case with solid back. Dial is matte black with Arabic numerals and offset date display at 4. The design and layout of this watch make it extremely easy to read in virtually all light conditions.

Sapphire crystal with luminous hands and hour markers. Watch is water resistant to 20 ATM. Steel Tegimented bracelet.

Warranty Changes and New Features

Please note that effective September 1, 2011 Sinn increased the warranty on this watch from 2 years to 3 years. Watches purchased before that date remain at 2 years.

The reason for this change is that Sinn is now adding their Dehumidifcation Technology to this watch through the use of inert gas to reduce humidity and to prevent the dial from fogging.

"Subtle Ruggedness"

Posted by: John Schraven

Comments about this watch: The 856 UTC is rated to 20 ATM and with the tegimented case and bracelet, rugged enough to take what I throw at it hiking and spending time outdoors in the woods. I do not dive frequently enough to warrant a dive watch but I did need a watch that could be submerged without worry. The 856 is not a "Hey Look At Me!" watch, yet it receives many compliments due to it's unique appearance and simple/easy to read dial. Out of the box, I was surprised at the buttery feel of the bracelet. At 40mm, with a... - more details

"Fantastic"

Posted by: Kyle

Comments about this watch: Fantastic Watch, I've worn this for a few months now as my daily watch. I'm in the military and its takes a beating and looks pristine still. It keeps great time and I look forward to purchasing another Sinn in the future.

"Sinn 856 UTC"

Posted by: Steve Christensen

Comments about this watch: Outstanding watch! Very thin profile for an automatic, with a readable face in most light conditions. I actually use the UTC hand on this more than my equivalent Breitling UTC.

"Sinn 856"

Posted by: James

Comments about this watch: One of the best all purpose watches made by anyone. The dial is very legible, has the tegimented technology, and has the buttery smooth 2893 GMT movement.

"Amazing watch"

Posted by: Jason

Comments about this watch: I've had this watch for a week, and it's quickly become one of my favorites. It's highly accurate right out of the box (well within COSC standards), and I have no doubt the Tegimented case and bracelet will stand up to whatever I throw at it. With the UTC feature, the 856 is a great, durable watch for frequent travelers.

"Fantastic Watch"

Posted by: Phillip

Comments about this watch: The Sinn 856 UTC is an outstanding watch that is highly accurate, reliable, easy to read, and not at all flashy, which is important when traveling off the beaten path. Over the three years that I have owned and worn this watch it has proven more accurate than my previous go-to watch, an IWC Mark XII. Highly recommended.

"Preferred over same watch on strap"

Posted by: Scott L

Comments about this watch: Beautiful, simple, modern design. With it's functional utility and design, this watch is a classic. Originally purchased the same watch on a black leather strap, but was not very taken with the aesthetic. Couldn't bring myself to return the watch, but decided to purchase the bracelet and that made all the difference for me. Big fan of the chosen movement for it's well-known accuracy and so far the watch has been keeping time within COSC standards. Glad I didn't return this!

"Sinn 856"

Posted by: Carlo Wolff

Comments about this watch: I've liked this since I bought it four years ago. It's solid, modern, high-tech but not geeky, and eminently usable, not to mention easy to read. Solid as a rock, it's also unexpectedly stylish, and its look won't date.

"Perfect tool watch"

Posted by: Dan Paulson

Comments about this watch: This watch is the perfect size for both dress and utility functions. Its matte tegimented finish is spectacular to look at, and the dial and case are so cleanly laid out, especially with the bezel-less look. I love mine. Its the perfect low-key hardcore watch for guys who don't want to sport the wannabe Navy Seal look around the office...

"Great utility watch"

Posted by: Wiemi Douoguih

Comments about this watch: This is a great day to day watch. Very durable and functional. It is understated, not too flashy but classy.
