Product Details

This is a special release of the Sinn UX, and is designed for the elite German Grenzschutzgruppe (GSG9) special forces unit in underwater tactical operations. Notice the dial design and the crown placement on the left side of the watch.

The Sinn UX pushes watch technology to the limits. Like the Sinn U1 and U2 watches, the Sinn UX GSG9 features a case made from the same submarine steel that is being used to build the latest generation of German military submarines.



The steel was procured by Sinn from a steel supplier to Emden GmbH, one of Germany’s North Sea shipbuilding yards who construct submarines from the very same steel. This special steel is also amagnetic which means that is does not have magnetic properties and cannot itself become magnetized. The watch movement itself is protected from magnetic fields up to 4,800 A/m.

Unlike the Sinn U1 and Sinn U2, the Sinn UX GSG9 features a quartz movement rather than a mechanical movement.

By using this type of movement, Sinn is able to fill the watch with oil, which has the double affect of greatly enhancing the readability of the dial and time from any angle (including under water), and increasing the water resistance of the watch even at great depths.



The Sinn UX GSG9 is covered with a thick sapphire crystal for extreme protection. This sapphire crystal features a special anti-reflective coating that is scratch resistant - the coating itself has been hardened to 1,800 HV.

The uni-directional ratchet operated rotating bezel is also milled from this submarine steel. The indices are machined directly into the bezel without the use of bezel inserts, which can corrode or come loose at deep depths. The bezel features Sinn's Tegiment technology.

This watch is designed for operation in extreme temperature variations - it operates in temperatures between -20 Celsius to +60 Celsius. The movement is water resistant to 5,000 meters, and the case is pressure tested to a diving depth of 12,000 meters as certified by Germanischer Lloyd in Hamburg.

Matte black dial with date at 3, Super Luminova on hands and markers, and white seconds hand complete the design. Other features include sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating. Strap is silicone with double push deployant buckle and fliplock safety clasp.

Sinn watches feature a number of cutting edge technologies, many of which are unique to Sinn. Please note that not all Sinn watches, including the watch on this page, use all of these Sinn technologies.

Among the more notable Sinn technologies are:


Tegimented Hardened Cases

Many Sinn watches are fitted with Tegimented cases produced in-house by Sinn's case making affiliated company in Glashutte, Germany.

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 process produces a hardness of at least 1,200 Vickers which is five times harder than standard steel (and on some Sinn models up to nine times harder than standard steel).

The Tegiment process 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 further improved by the Tegiment hardening process.

The primary advantages to a Tegimented case are extreme resistance to scratches and other case abrasions, as well as increased resistance to corrosion.

Please note that certain Sinn watches are fully Tegimented (case, bezel) while others are Tegimented only on the bezel. Use the links below to view both categories.

Dehumidification Technology

A number of Sinn models feature cases filled with inert gas. Sinn has found that filling the case with inert gas can help prevent the introduction of moisture and humidity to the case, as well as provide a more stable environment for the oils that lubricate the movement.

The proper care of any mechanical watch movement mandates that these oils maintain both their viscosity and lubrication properties.

  • View Sinn watches with dehumidification technology.


Copper Sulphate Capsules

A number Sinn models use one or more copper sulphate capsules to absorb humidity trapped inside the case. Over time these capsules will gradually turn dark blue indicating that humidity has been absorbed.

The primary benefit to these copper sulphate capsules is a more dry and stable environment for both the movement and the lubricating oils. Together with Sinn's inert gas treatment these capsules form the basis of Sinn's Dry Hold Technology.

This technology not only provides a more stable environment for the movement, but also prevents fogging of the crystal when going from hot to cold environments or from humid to non-humid conditions (such air conditioned buildings).

Extreme Antimagnetic Protection

Magnetism can cause dramatic swings in the timekeeping of a mechanical watch movement. People are often exposed to magnetic fields without even being aware - frequent high altitude flying, metal detectors, audio and video equipment, medical equipment and computer equipment can all cause problems with magnetism.

Many Sinn watches offer extreme protection against magnetism up to 80,000 A/m. Sinn achieves these results using a number of different technologies, including special case and case back construction, soft iron components in the case and protective rings surrounding the movement.

DIAPAL Oil Free Escapement

Sinn caused quite a stir when they first released their DIAPAL technology. Beginning in 1995, Sinn began work to create an oil free escapement. With any mechanical watch movement, the aging of oil, especially in the escapement can create long term problems for that movement. Additionally, as movement oil ages, required service intervals become more frequent.

Sinn's early analysis to this problem provided a quick solution (at least in theory) - if you don't use oil, it can't age. The process began by exchanging the ruby escapements for diamonds (the word "DIAPAL" derives from the German name for diamond escapements) in order to achieve the desired effect. The designation stuck, even though today Sinn works with solutions taken from advanced nanotechnology rather than diamonds.

The result is a movement that proves so reliable that Sinn offers an unprecedented five year warranty on their DIAPAL watches.

Hydro Oil Filled Technology

Sinn has developed a technology termed "Hydro" in which the entire watch case is filled with oil. Watches using this technology are based on quartz rather than mechanical movements.

By using this type of movement, Sinn is able to fill the watch with oil, which has the joint affect of greatly enhancing the readability of the dial and time from any angle (including under water), and increasing the water resistance of the watch even at great depths.

  • View Sinn watches with Hydro Oil Filled technology.


Submarine Steel

Sinn has created a line of watches featuring cases made from German submarine steel (the U Series). The steel was procured by Sinn from a steel supplier to Emden GmbH, one of Germany's North Sea shipbuilding yards who construct submarines from the very same steel.

Because of the special steel used from the submarine steelmanufacturer, the case resists the effects of exposure to salt waterand salt water environments.

These cases are produced in-house by Sinn's case making affiliated company in Glashutte, Germany.

This special steel is also amagnetic which means that is does not have magnetic properties and cannot itself become magnetized. The watch movement itself is protected from magnetic fields up to 4,800 A/m.

EZM Mission Timers

Sinn is a partner for manufacturing watches for the German Special Forces, including SWAT, Customs, FBI, helicopter police, GSG9 and other units.

Beginning with the now highly collectible (and valuable) Sinn EZM 1, Sinn has grown this collection to some of the most durable and highly functional watches made and they remain among the most popular in the collection.

Service Notes for This Watch

This watch is powered by a quartz movement and the case is filled with oil.

Special proprietary machines and equipment are required to change the extended life battery and to refill the case with oil.

Because only Sinn in Frankfurt has the necessary machines and equipment to correctly service this watch, you will need to return the watch to Frankfurt approximately every seven years for service.

A Flieger Watch in Disguise?

"A Flieger Watch in Disguise?"

Verified Watch Owner Comments: First comment: when the watch arrives and you take it out of the box, does it cast the same spell over you at that moment as it did when you saw it at the website?

Second comment: A week later, in spare moments, do you still find yourself staring at this beautiful piece of craftsmanship and grinning uncontrollably?

Third comment: After a month, does a glance at this beautiful piece of craftsmanship still bring a smile to your lips? If so, odds are, you purchased a Sinn UX EZM 2 B GSG9 from WatchBuys.

Oh...about the Flieger reference? Flieger watches are my preference, but over the years, I noticed that most seem designed in the black background-light colored numbers style on the rotating bezel. In contrast, similar divers-style watches use the darker numbers on a lighter background approach and to me this keeps the information on the bezel from distracting from the beauty of the dial work. Just personal preference.

Global Traveler

"Global Traveler"

Verified Watch Owner Comments: After a visit to Sinn factory in Frankfurt last year, I had to have this watch.

Great for one-up when comparing seck diver watches, but not something I'd dive with. After all, who needs a watch that will work at 5,000 meters anyway?

You won't be disappointed

"You won't be disappointed"

Verified Watch Owner Comments: Tough solidity, super accuracy, excellent readability and practicality - the main essential features of a good diver's watch.

Sinn UX GSG9 truly delivers or to certain extend exceeding. Not only you get this fine timepiece at a very reasonable price, you will also get superb CS from WatchBuys.

This is hard to beat.

So strong

"So strong"

Verified Watch Owner Comments: This is the strongest watch I ever had.

So reliable and so strong, it's amazing,... I have been looking for this type of watch for a long time.

Perfect.

Stylish, rugged, unique

"Stylish, rugged, unique"

Verified Watch Owner Comments: Although it has a relatively large case compared to many other upscale watches, this watch is not quite as flashy. Yet, its appearance is sophisticated and very well-rounded. Nothing appears to be out of place on this timepiece.

It has a very solid appearance and very high level of build quality. It is the most accurate timekeeping device I know of besides something consistently in sync with a time server/atomic signal.

UX EZM2B GSG9

"UX EZM2B GSG9"

Verified Watch Owner Comments: Totally in love the EZM series, and the UX GSG9 version is simply a must have.

The next logical step to the EZM2 GSG9 version.

SINN UX (GSG9) Rubber Strap

"SINN UX (GSG9) Rubber Strap"

Verified Watch Owner Comments: This is one of the most impressive timepiece i have in my collection so far in terms of technology.

Built quality is first class. Very solid. This is the only quartz movement i have in my collections (2 APRO, 3 APROO, PP, GP, 2 ROLEX GMT, EXP I, EXP II, YMaster, Datejust, 2 DayDate and etc)..

At this price, this is for sure one of the best buy. I highly recommend it!
