Sinn 156.1 Traditional Pilot Chronograph 156.030

$6,795.00 CAD
156.030 Leather

A unique combination of past and present: this is probably the essence of the unmistakable charm of this historic pilot's chronograph. Responsible for this is a contemporary interpretation that skillfully picks up and continues the traditional thread of a timepiece that is very popular with watch enthusiasts. In order to correctly categorize the historical lineage of the 156.1 model, it is important to know that the original predecessor is the 155 model (see below). As the successor to this timepiece, our company developed the 156 and 156 MILITARY models (see below) - all watches that are now true icons.

Contemporary interpretation
A look at the present reveals the innovative character of the 156.1 model, which is manifested in our in-house SZ01 chronograph movement, which is designed so that the timepiece has a jumping 60-minute stopwatch hand from the centre. The plus point: stop times can therefore be recorded more easily, quickly and accurately - a clear gain in terms of clear readability. This movement is integrated into a newly designed case with a screw-in back, which is aesthetically modelled on its historical predecessors with a 43 mm-diameter case. However, the 156.1 now has a sapphire crystal, which is more scratch-resistant than the acrylic glass used in the original model.
The pilot's bezel is captively connected to the case and can be rotated smoothly without detent - another innovation that we have implemented in this form for the first time in a SINN chronograph in series production. The TEGIMENT Technology of the pilot's bezel is also an important prerequisite for the application of the Black Hard Coating, which proves to be extremely durable as a result. In contrast to the historical models, the pilot's bezel has a luminescent fixed point as a striking symbol in the marking at twelve o'clock, so that the position of the set reference time can be clearly identified in the dark. The numbers as the hour and minute hands are also luminescent and therefore perfectly legible.
The design philosophy for the 156.1 model is to continue tried and tested elements while utilizing the potential for change. The result is a fascinating timepiece that is as historic as it is contemporary.
