Watch Straps For The Sinn U50
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 NATO, which would be the perfect choice for this tool watch.
Anyway, without further ado, let's get in to it!
ZULUDIVER Classic Bond Nylon NATO Watch Band
We’ll get things going with a classic strap pairing for any toolwatch - the NATO strap. Our Zuludiver Classic Bond NATO goes well with the blasted grey case and black bezel of the Sinn U50. Not only does it look good, but by its design a NATO reduces any risk of losing the watch through a failed spring bar.

Where the Croyde helps keep the U50 looking casual, the Winstone Vintage Strap dresses it up just a tad. What’s more, each piece of the Winstone is made from a single piece of leather, so as to ensure the strap’s durability. The strap on the U50 is the beige grey colourway, which gives the watch a touch of warmth.

Last, but not least, our Zuludiver Perlon strap offers a comfortable, casual way to wear the Sinn U50. Much like a NATO, this single pass strap secures both spring bars to stop the watch falling off the wrist in the event one fails.

I've got a grey Zulu Diver 328 on another watch but feel it's too thin and flexible for my U50, plus the red looks a lot less vibrant than on the 306. I've gone for a less than ideal reddish Citizen ND Limits clone, but it's the least worst option for now.
Please bring back the red 306 or make it a special order from CB. It's THE definitive strap for the Sinn U50.
