Used but mint and barely used condition Sinn U2, purchased 2 months prior to advertising.  Sinn are well renowned and highly regarded in watch manufacturing as they are innovators and producers of mainly instrument, military and aviation watches.  They are know for investing large amounts of money in research and development and have some world leading technical innovations that make their watches highly desirable and collectible.  Moreover, they are fanatical about engineering standards , and the Sinn watches are over engineered, without being over designed – and at a price point that does not edge them away from the enthusiasts.    The U1 and U2 watches are indeed unique and one of a kind.  They keep in line with Sinn’s philosophy of manufacturing watches that are built to the highest standards, and employ the latest in technical developments.  The U1 and U2 are designed with specific diving use and totally impervious to water penetration.  The U1 and U2 cases are made from stainless steel that used in the construction of the outer hull of submarines.  The steel was by procured by Sinn from a steel supplier to Emden GmbH, one of Germany’s North Sea shipbuilding yards who construct submarines from the very same steel.   This submarine steel is not only extraordinarily sea water resistant (PRE value up to 38), it possesses also the highest anti magnetic quality.  Another main advantage of this steel that Sinn’s Tegiment technology could also be combined with it. The Uni directional ratchet operated rotating bezel is Tegimented where the steel can be hardened on up to 1500 Vickers.  Compared to regular 316 L stainless steel which is hardened to approximately 220 Vickers.  The indices are machined directly into the bezel without the use of bezel inserts, which can corrode or come loose at deep depths.  The watch has the bezel hardened to 1,500 Vickers by the use of Sinn’s tegimented treatment in the Sinn laboratory.  The U2 has an argon filled cavity with copper sulphate water absorbing capsule.  This model has the capsule visible at the 6 position on the dial.  Has a sapphire crystal with anti reflective coating, screw down crown with three gaskets and is water resistant to 2000 metres to DIN 8306 specification.  The watch has an ETA 2893-2 automatic movement, operating at 28,800 beats per hour, shockproof according to DIN 8308 specification and anti magnetic according to DIN 8309 specification.  It operates in temperatures between -45° Celsius to +80° Celsius due to the special lubricants in the movement applied in the Sinn laboratory.  The U2 has a UTC hand which is a short red dual time hand and this can be independently set from the main hour hand.  Mat black dial with date at the 3 position.  Super Luminova luminous broad hands and dial markings for maximum legibility.  Functional and utility looking red and white hands and sweep second hand.  Comes on silicone strap with double push button deployant buckle and fliplock safety clasp.  Outstanding watch.  Width is 44mm, lug to lug is 50 mm, Thickness is 15.5 mm.  Ref: NWW 655.

Brand new and unused Arctos Marine Diver on rubber strap. UK retail price is £785. (US $1,275). The hallmark of the Arctos Marine Diver Automatic is the unmistakable yellow minute hand, which together with the counter clockwise rotating bezel monitors dive time. This feature of the minute hand is a special requirement of the elite forces combat divers. Functionality takes centre stage with the Marine Diver Automatic as it does with the NATO Field Watch and the Black-Wave. The precision Swiss made movement is protected from moisture, dust and impact by the resilient case.  The watch uses the finest materials for the crystal, case and automatic movement to make reliability unsurpassed with a design to match. The watch is designed for the most extreme demands of the Special Forces as well as the demanding watch connoisseur. The dial is typically utility or military in style with bold primary numbers which are boxed off, large crown, large and substantial case, mat black dial with white Superluminova coated hands and number markings, with a date at the 6 position. The hands are very unique with a fat arrow hour hand and yellow minute hand with central sweep second hand which has a luminous block towards the end of the hand. The date wheel is black with white print so as to blend in well with the dial. It has got a uni directional sturdy ratcheted rotating bezel which is evenly iterated around the bezel for one hour independent timing. It has got a scratch resistant convex sapphire crystal with hardness of 9 on Mohs scale of 1 to 10 meaning that it can only a diamond or material with diamond in it with a hardness of 10 is capable of damaging the synthetically manufactured sapphire crystal. In addition the crystal is treated with anti reflective coating so that the dial and hands are always clearly legible. The anti reflective coating is on the under side of the crystal so it does not flake off due to scratching the surface of the crystal. The watch has got a screw down crown. Only once the crown is unscrewed can the mechanism be manually wound and the hands adjusted. The screw in crown mechanism protects the watch from moisture and dust and enhances its shock resistance. The screw in crown in conjunction with the screw on back makes it withstand pressures up to 20 bars (approximately 200 metres) and surpass the waterproofing requirements of the German Institute for Standardisation (DIN norm 8310). The case is machined from a solid block of stainless steel. The material is anti magnetic 316L stainless steel which is an alloy that is widely used in surgical instruments and in space industries. The raw block undergoes numerous processing steps from which is emerges as a robust case, precision manufactured to within a hundredth of a millimetre, which protects the movement from moisture, dust and impacts. The watch uses the highly regarded and tried and trusted Swiss made twenty five jewelled automatic winding ETA 2824-2.  This movement has got a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour. The high frequency and additional adjustments at the Arctos factory ensure that the Arctos watches have an excellent degree of accuracy. The movement has got a Etachrono regulator system. It has got a stop mechanism for accurate time setting. The movement gives a power reserve of forty hours. The watch comes on black silicone strap.  The dimensions are as follows. Width is 42 mm excluding the crown, 45 mm including the crown, lug to lug is 47 mm, thickness is 14.5 mm. Ref. NWW 643. Price RESERVED

Used but mint condition 3 months old Max Bill automatic. The Max Bill design watch is remains true to form of the original Max Bill design watches dating from the 1950’s.  Almost nothing has altered apart from the fact that it is constructed today from modern materials in a modern environment, and of course with a modern movement.  These factors make for an altogether more accurate, stronger and more reliable wristwatch.  It is a classical design and looks like it has stepped right of the decade from which it was first introduced – and many watches standards were set by designs like this one.  It has got a 25 jeweled Swiss made ETA 2824-2 automatic movement. The case is gold plated which is highly polished, and slender and sleek in deign.  It has a solid steel snap on case back which bears Max Bill’s signature.  The dial is mat black with minute markings and hour markings giving a very minimalist feel to it.  Long flowing lines seem to be the main design influence, therefore the hour markers and hands are long.  The long hands touch the correct points where the hour hand tips the hour marks, the minute hand touches the minute marks numbers, and the central sweep second hand follows the same line as the minute hand, just tipping the minute/second marks as it sweeps past them.  The hands are luminous filled, with double luminous dot at the 12 position, and single luminous dots at the 3, 6 and 9 position.  Has an attractive convex highly domed plexi glass acrylic crystal, which at some angles makes the dial appear slightly curved, creating an appealing effect. This is the same as the regular automatic, but this time, with date at the 3 position It comes on a good quality black leather strap with polished steel pin buckle.  Made in Germany with Swiss movement. Brand new with 2 year warranty, comes with box and instructions.  Junghans reference 027/4701.00. Width is 38 mm excluding crown and 40 mm including crown, Lug to lug is 40 mm, Thickness is 10 mm.  Ref. NWW 625.  Price is £395 or US $645

This watch is designed with style in mind.  It is modern looking with a minimal feel to it and is up to date with the latest style trends, and ahead of it’s time in technology trends.  It has a contemporary feel where the design of the watch plays as important a role as the technical features and functions of the watch.  Like all Junghans watches, it is constructed to high standards.  The case is attractive looking brushed finish stainless steel.  Has a hardened mineral glass and is water resistant to 5 bar.  Multi Frequency movement with more than one antennae so will be radio controlled in the Far East and North America by picking up local time signals.  Symmetrical and well balanced dial design with bold digital numeric on an electroluminescence LCD dial.  Has a plethora of functions including day, date, month, week of the year, time in hours, minutes and seconds, alarm chronograph and countdown timer.  The watch is also radio controlled.  This means that it will never gain or lose time.  It is absolutely precise, as it is linked by radio signal to the timing control from one of the most accurate clocks in the world, the Caesium Time Base at Germany’s national institute of natural engineering and sciences.  This clock is so exact that an error of only 1 second is expected every million years.  The watch receives the timing data by long wave radio signal from the official German standard frequency and time signal transmitter.  The transmitter has a range of 1,500km.  Wherever reception is available, then the high performance antennae integrated into the radio controlled watch will receive the time signal.  This happens between 0200 and 0300 every day.  The watch will automatically synchronise from winter to summer time and visa versa, and if you travel across time zones, you can synchronise to local time by using the time zone button.  Polished all stainless steel case.  Comes on high quality black leather strap with matching polished steel pin buckle.  Made in Germany. Brand new with 2 year warranty, comes with box and instructions.  Junghans reference 026/4510.00 Width is 39 mm, lug to lug is 41 mm, Thickness is 10 mm. Ref. NWW 630. sold

The Model 155 is a pilot chronograph equipped with a different dial based around the original Bundchronograph that used and the Valjoux 230 originally made in the early 1980s to equip the aircraft personnel of the Bundeswehr. The clock is "unterdrucksicher" and thus suitable for high altitudes and pressure resistant to 10 bar. The model from the housing 155 there were only 300 pieces. It is therefore not an artificial limitation, but a natural limit, on account of which we can offer only a limited number. It is constructed to a high standard and able to with stand both low and high pressures so suitable for high altitude such as in aircraft and also with stand high pressures such as when under water, the water resistance is not tested. It has got an automatic movement Valjoux 7750 (shock resistant and anti-magnetic, 25 jewels, Nivarox 1A spiral spring). Weekday in German text and date display.

Mint condition and barely worn Sinn 757 UTC Diapal. It was purchased from us in December 2008 making it 10 months old when taken back into stock. during this time it has not had any hard use and looks to be in brand new condition. It comes on a bracelet which is the heavy duty and substantial bracelet with hex bolts. The watch is a variation on the 757 and the 756 Diapl, to create the 757 Diapal. This combines two of Sinn’s most popular models to create a watch fit for all purposes. The Sinn 757 UTC DIAPAL is chronograph with a completely lubricant free escapement, which is a world first.  Every wristwatch requires a service every few years as the escapement wheels and pallets need lubricating to avoid friction.  Sinn used the technological innovations of the space program to develop a lubrication free escapement called DIAPAL, which is a reference to the friction reducing technique of replacing the ruby pallet stones with diamonds, hence the name DIAmond PALlets.  The diamond pallets are then fitted to the traditional movements, in this case the Valjoux 7750, so you have the tried and tested Valjoux 7750, which is the world standard for automatic chronographs, which has been modified with space age technology to make it friction free.  This is a technology which has been years in the making at the Sinn labs.  In addition to the movement The cases are treated with “Tegiment” process.  This is the process where the ice-hardened outer layer of special anti-corrosive stainless steel is hardened to 1,200 Vickers which is four times harder than nickeliferous high grade stainless steel used in other high quality stainless steel watches.  This steel process is rarely found in watches, but is more often found in surgical instruments, and aerospace and aviation. The bracelet is treated in the same process to give it equal strength to the case.  Has a sapphire crystal, screw down crown and is water resistant to 20 ATM.  The dial is anthracite in colour with black sub dials and is an attractive and striking looking watch.  The UTC hand is a dual time indicator and is independently set of the main hands and points to a second time zone.  If you do not want a second time zone showing, the hand can be set to move in synchronization with the hour hand and it fits behind it perfectly so it will never be seen. Width is 43 mm excluding crown and 46 mm including crown Lug to lug is 48 mm, Thickness is 14 mm.  Ref. NWW 620. sold

It is designed to a hard wearing and practical specification and priced at a sensible level so as to make the watch affordable to most people.  It is also designed to be worn either as an everyday watch or as a beater.  Function and form have been the prime most considerations when laying out the specification.  This is because it is meant to be a utility type watch.  To this end it has been well constructed using high grade materials, crystal, dial and movement using Swiss materials.  It has a military feel to it and the dial is based on the 1960’s Vietnam era military watches.  The case is made out of solid high grade 316 L stainless steel, which has a sandblasted finish.  The case is large and heavy.  It has got a screw down crown which is engine turned to allow easy use of the crown.  The case back is screw down and these two combined give the watch a water rating of 200 metres.  It also has a scratch resistant sapphire crystal which is a hard glass and can only be scratched by material of equivalent strength or stronger than sapphire.  The bracelet is a solid link bracelet with solid end links where it attaches to the watch.  It is sandblasted/polished finish.  The clasp is a folding clasp with double push button security release as well as a fliplock safety clasp.  It has got a uni directional ratchet operated rotating bezel with a full 60 minute scale which can be used for independent timing of up to one hour.  The movement is a Swiss made Ronda quartz powered movement.  The dial and hands are self illuminating.
