Classic design language with refined details: the 104 Classic 12 stands for a distinctive profile combined with technically superior features. A timepiece that skillfully merges the functionality of an instrument watch with the craftsmanship of traditional horology. Its unmistakable appearance bears the hallmark of Sinn Spezialuhren: timeless and full of character.
At its core is the small seconds display, realized for the first time in this model series. Elegantly showcased with a chamois-coloured small second, tastefully accentuated by fine grooves and polished chamfers. Sunburst finishing, rhodium-plated appliqués and hands, as well as the finely tuned colour palette, carry the design language through with coherence – harmoniously balanced down to the smallest detail.
Another exceptional feature is the pilot’s bezel with hour ratcheting, which includes a high-quality ceramic inlay. This material also makes its debut in this model series and is characterized by exceptional hardness and, consequently, outstanding scratch resistance. The 12-hour scale on the bezel allows the indication of a second time zone and is securely captive within the case, true to the proven SINN technology standards.
The 104 Classic 12 is water-resistant and pressure-resistant to 20 bar, and also low pressure resistant. Altogether, a timepiece with true character – for watch enthusiasts who appreciate engineering excellence, have a refined sense of style, and a passion for mechanical precision.

Key Characteristics
Additional Product Details
Sinn Watches was formed in 1961 by the legendary pilot and flight instructor Helmut Sinn. They began manufacturing flight watches based on his extensive aviation experience, this was primarily based on Mr. Sinn's dissatisfaction with the watches that were available for pilot and navigational purposes at that time. His own designs incorporated the features and functionality that he felt more fit for purpose as an instrument watch. This is a design philosophy that has transcended the company's culture right through to the present day. Sinn is now the world's most eminent manufacturer of high quality, precision, functional and purposeful instrument watches. From the beginning, their emphasis was on creating special purpose instruments that performed under extremely adverse operating conditions such as high speed, high and low pressures and altitudes, intense heat or pressure, extreme cold, high magnetic interference, and submergence in liquids. Sinn are becoming increasingly known for their instrument watches, and are today a force to be reckoned with as they lead the way in instrument watch design. The company changed hands in 1994 when Lothar Schmidt formerly of IWC assumed control and further expanded the boundaries of Sinn’s high tolerance manufacturing expertise. Over the past decade, Sinn has pioneered some innovative new technologies, including oil filled watch chambers to enable operation under extreme pressures, argon gas filled watches to prevent moisture infiltration, impact resistant gear suspensions, and new micro-lubricating techniques. Their timepieces are standard equipment in some of the most dangerous and adverse environments on earth - little surprise their watches are issued to the German military and elite forces. Above all the watches are manufactured and marketed to the world at large. Like the designs and their application areas, the pricing of the Sinn watches is most aggressive, making them available to most people. Due to distribution agreements Sinn watches can only be shipped to the UK and Ireland and certain countries where there is no Sinn agent assigned to that territory. Sinn watches are covered by a two or three year manufacturers warranty depending on the model.
