Limited to 1,000 pieces – documented on the case back – and with a high-quality intricate finish. These features alone ensure that the U50 DS will turn heads. The dial is certain to spark particular interest. Thanks to the irregular finish, the wearer can enjoy an exciting interplay of colours as the base material reflects varying nuances of light on different parts of the dial. And the real kicker: thanks to this, each watch is unique. Each machining process produces a truly unique impression. Despite this, the design does not impair clear readability. This is also thanks to the striking design and minimalist display.
The U50 DS is regarded as a robust and precise timepiece by watch enthusiasts. It is based on the principle of maximum reliability. This performance promise is fulfilled by the use of safety-related equipment. For example, the case is made from high-strength seawater-resistant German Submarine Steel. Experts will recognise immediately that this gives the watch exceptional strength and outstanding non-magnetic properties. The captive rotating bezel prevents the loss of set times. And as the watch may be exposed to particularly harsh conditions, we have also equipped the case and rotating bezel with TEGIMENT Technology to ensure exceptionally high scratch resistance.
Furthermore, the U50 DS was put through its paces by the DNV. Pressure resistance was verified and certified to a diving depth of 500 metres (= 50 bar), as was temperature resistance functionality in accordance with the European diving equipment standards.

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.
