The Sinn 356 Pilot was inspired by the Sinn 256 Pilot Chronograph, which was originally developed for the Japanese market. The chronograph dial has a clean, contemporary look and features 3 subdials, a date/day display and luminescent hands and indices.
On this 356 "Sa" version, the dial is housed under sapphire crystal and rests over a screw-fastened display caseback, providing up to 100 metres of low-pressure and water resistance. The Sinn 356 Pilot watch meets the requirements for waterproofness as set out in standard DIN 8310.
The case measures at 38.5mm and is crafted from bead-blasted stainless-steel for impressive durability. The Sinn 356 Pilot uses a self-winding Sellita SW-500 movement and features 28,800 semi-oscillations per hour, a seconds stop function and an antimagnetic design as per DIN 8309.
Sinn Watches was founded in 1961 and has long been a big name in horology. The brand was originally focused on producing navigation clocks for cockpits, and this design is reflected in their collection of pilot watches decades later. Sinn promises uncompromising functionality in their watch collections, even in the most demanding conditions. Thanks to industry-leading technologies such as Ar-Dehumidifying and antimagnetic construction, Tegiment steel hardening and temperature-stabilised movements. It’s not surprising then, that Sinn is praised for their high-quality movements and materials and loved by collectors for their accuracy in extremely adverse conditions.
