Sinn 356 PILOT Classic Anniversary: A Timeless Tribute to 25 Years of Watchmaking Excellence

A Timeless Tribute to Watchmaking Craftsmanship

The Sinn 356 PILOT Classic Anniversary is more than just a watch; it’s a celebration of 25 years of excellence in watchmaking. This limited edition timepiece, with only 500 units available, encapsulates the artistry and precision of horology in a truly unique way.

Bicompax Elegance Classic chronographs hold a special place in the hearts of watch enthusiasts, and the Sinn 356 PILOT Classic Anniversary continues this tradition with a touch of distinction. For the first time in this series, we’ve adorned the six o’clock position with the unmistakable ‘FLIEGER KLASSIK’ lettering, paying homage to its aviation heritage. Counterbalancing this feature, the SINN logo takes its place as an appliqué at 12 o’clock.

Innovatively, this model introduces a bicompax arrangement of silver matte counters, harmoniously complementing the anthracite electroplated dial. The rhodium-plated hour, minute, and stopwatch second hands, coated with luminous paint, ensure legibility, while the silky-matte anthracite small seconds and 30-minute stopwatch hands add visual appeal. To assist with short-time measurements, a fine-minute dial, divided into quarters of a second, has been thoughtfully included.

Crystal Clarity A high-domed sapphire crystal glass, coated on both sides with anti-reflective treatment, provides a clear view of the captivating dial, even under challenging lighting conditions. The transparent sapphire crystal case back allows you to admire the limited-edition identifier on the rotor. Crafting the high-domed crystal involves grinding it from a solid blank approximately 5mm thick, incorporating five different curvature radii, and meticulous polishing. This meticulous process preserves the classic appearance and quality of this special material.

Precision-Packed Powerhouse The Sinn 356 PILOT Classic Anniversary is powered by a high-precision mechanical movement, offering an extended power reserve of over 56 hours. This ensures that your timepiece remains reliable even during extended periods of wear. To complement this extraordinary watch, it comes in a fine case with two locally manufactured straps crafted from nubuck boar leather, further enhancing its exclusivity and appeal.

A Glimpse into History This anniversary model is not just a timepiece; it’s a tribute to a legacy. It traces its lineage back to the original 356 series, which began as a special edition exclusively for the Japanese market in 1996. The success of this slender and elegant version of Sinn’s pilot chronograph paved the way for the 356 series. The first chronographs defined the essence of this collection – a timeless, classically elegant design that places readability and precision above all else.
