Which watches embody the essence of our company best of all? The answer to this question is easy for connoisseurs of our brand: the timepieces from the 103 series, which have been part of our collection as classic pilot chronographs since the mid-1960s and have since become the defining ambassadors for our company. Some watch lovers will no doubt remember that in the early days – in addition to timepieces with automatic movements – individual models also featured acrylic glass and hand-wound movements. Is it the love of tradition and the art of watchmaking that made SINN watches so popular with such a movement? Or was it the more intensive connection to the phenomenon of time, coupled with the daily ritual of winding the watch? The truth is that this fascination is probably born of various different preferences and values.

With this in mind, the 103 St Ty Hd model is a contemporary tribute to its prestigious predecessors, as it is also equipped with shock-resistant acrylic glassand hand-wound movement. Furthermore, a SINN watch with a hand-wound movement from the 103 series was last officially available around 20 years ago, which makes the release of the 103 St Ty Hd model all the more special still.

The special calibre is a classic Tri-Compax chronograph dedicated to functionality: stop second from the dial centre, a 30-minute counter at 3 o’clock, 12-hour counter at 6 o’clock and small subsidiary seconds at 9 o’clock on a matt black dial. The symmetrical, V-shaped arrangement of the counters in matt-silk light yellow creates a wonderfully balanced aesthetic and creative design. In keeping with this, the stopwatch second hand and stopwatch minute display are dark red for improved emphasis and thus legibility – a specification also reflected by the stopwatch minute scale. In the interests of faster time recording, the first ten minutes are shown alternately in black and red.

High-quality faceted attached appliqués adorn the matt black dial. In combination with the faceted hour and minute hands, the watch exudes elegance and, thanks to the elements with luminous effect, is also legible in the dark. Another complication – the tachymeter scale on the interior bezel – satisfies the desire of watch connoisseurs for the precise, manual measurement of speeds from 60 km/h to 600 km/h.

Low pressure resistant, water-resistant and pressure-resistant up to 20 bar, these additional features guarantee a high level of suitability for everyday use. All in all, this 103 is a worthy member of a long-established series of renowned SINN watches, which, not least because of ist limited edition of 1,000 pieces, looks set to become a coveted collector’s item.
