Delivery is end of April. Please call or email to reserve
The classic chronograph in the 356 series impresses with its clear, aesthetic appearance. Nothing distracts from the essentials; everything is subordinate to the accurate reading of the different times. With a diameter of 38.5 mm, the discreetly dimensioned case boasts an elegant finish and exudes high-quality, sophisticated functionality. Connoisseurs will notice another refined feature: the high-domed sapphire crystal glass. In an elaborate process, the sapphire crystal glass is ground out of a solid blank that is around 5 mm thick with five different curvature radii and is then painstakingly polished. The anti-reflective coating on both sides facilitates accurate reading of the strikingly designed dial, even under extreme lighting conditions. The special features of this edition are the hour counters and the hour hand and minute hand in ocean petrol plus the stopwatch hands in yellow/ ocean petrol, reflecting the colours of the Commerzbank corporate design.
The glass back is also made of sapphire crystal, allowing the mechanical movement and winding rotor – complete with limited-edition number engraving – to be admired in all their intricacy. The elaborate sealing of the crown, push-pieces, back and crystal makes the watch water-resistant to DIN 8310, resistant to low pressure and pressure-resistant up to 10 bar. The chronograph comes in a fine wooden case with a fine-link bracelet and a leather strap with yellow stitching specially adapted to this special edition.
With a limited edition of 100 watches, the 356 Sa PILOT III for Commerzbank is the result of a partnership between two of Frankfurt's renowned, long-established companies.

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.
