Strap Showcase: A tough dive watch needs some tough straps...
As Tim covered in his review of the Sinn U50, it’s a proper tough-as-nails toolwatch. Made from German submarine steel, and with a water resistance of 500m, the U50 is certainly one of the most capable tool watches on the market.
As such it deserves to be paired with a range of durable straps that can stand up to the same kind of treatment the U50 is designed to take.
A few points to consider when choosing straps for the Sinn U50 are:
- The U50 has mostly matte surfaces, with little glare or reflections. Therefore it will go well with toolish straps that have a similar subdued finish.
- The U50 is mostly monochrome, with the only splash of colour being the red accents. Choosing a strap that also has red highlights will bring out the colour on the watch itself.
- With a lug width of 20mm, there are plenty of strap choices for the U50. And, with a thickness of just 11.15mm, you don't have to worry about it sitting too high if you put it on a Military Nylon, which would be the perfect choice for this tool watch.
Anyway, without further ado, let's get in to it!
