Sinn (DE) U1 – Ref. 1010.010 – The Diving Watch Made of German Submarine Steel On Bracelet

“With the diving watch U1, Sinn engineers succeeded in developing a diving watch in which the quality of material and design gives it superior resistance to external influences under extreme conditions of use. In their search for a steel with the desired resistance, the Sinn engineers found what they were looking for at the German submarine manufacturer ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems: the steel manufacturers supply small quantities of the original steel of the current German submarine production exclusively to Sinn for making diving watches — the very steel of which the external hulls of the German Navy’s new submarine class 212, which currently represents the most advanced non-nuclear submarines in the world, are made. This original submarine steel is not only extraordinarily seawater-resistant but is also of the highest non-magnetic quality without any residual magnetism. To ensure reliably that the rotating bezel of the diving watch does not detach under harsh impacts, it is attached as a captive bezel to the central part of the case. The water-resistance and pressure resistance of 100 bar (= 1000 m water depth) was certified for the diving watch U1 by DNV. The safety test pressure used for this purpose was 125 bar. Listed price includes the solid stainless steel bracelet with safety folding clasp and diving extension as in the main photo. Other photos showing the watch on other strap types are for presentation only. If you prefer a different type of strap, feel free to contact us for availability and we would be happy to accommodate you if we can.”
