Sinn in Blue

 Sinn in Blue

Earlier today, I had the chance to visit the Sinn Boutique in Frankfurt.  I was with a friend who was interested in potentially buying a 103, so I took the opportunity to see if the just-announced blue pieces (T1 & T2 divers and the L.E. 103 A Sa B) were in stock: they were!  I think the bullk of what has been published on the web has been based on press photos, so I took the opportunity to take a few pictures.  Sadly, I do mean only a few shots because the Sinn store was hopping!  I was there at roughly 3pm and there were no less than 3 people (locals, not tourist groups) buying new Sinns.  So, time was limited but I hope you enjoy seeing the blues in “real” lighting and it is a famous German brand.

Sinn 103 A Sa B.  The Sinn 103 A Sa B looks really nice in blue.  I’d possibly change the strap to make the dial “pop” a bit more, but the blue strap looked nice nonetheless.  It has a darker, electroplated blue dial that really radiates.The bezel reminds me a little of the Tudor Sumariners of yore.  At 1999 Eurosand as a limited edition of only 500 units, it is going FAST.  This watch was officially announced on August 20th and I was told that there are only a few left.  Perhaps some were allocated to foreign markets, but if you’re in the EU and want one, you’d better hustle.

Sinn T1 & T2.  The Sinn T1 and T2 divers have always been under-the-radar watches from the brand, but they really are great looking and supremely comfortable due to a great case shape and their titanium construction.  The blue looks fantastic and is almost a matte gray/blue.  Note that the blue version loses the “barber shop” striping on its sweep second hand.  The T1 starts at 2490 Euros on leather and the T2 starts at 2290 Euros.  I own a T2 and if the blue version had been available, it would have been a horse race for sure!

I hope you enjoyed a very brief look at the new Sinn blue watches.  They’re great pieces from a great brand!
