Never lose track of time – especially in the dark. Limited to 500 pieces, our U50 S L model embodies this aspiration in a special way. For example, the entire dial and key marker on the rotating bezel glow and not, as is normally the case, just the indices and hands. This is made possible by the unusual luminous paint application on the dial. In terms of its production, an innovative method is used to incorporate the luminous paint into a mould using a special casting process. After hardening, a hybrid ceramic component is created, which is joined to the metallic base dial. In the final processing step, the two combined components are printed. The result is rather remarkable – thanks to the high concentration and large surface area of the luminous paint, we achieve extreme luminosity and thus perfect readability – in a quality never seen before!
In terms of appearance, the watch boasts a striking design with a display that concentrates on the essentials, realised in a comfortable diameter size of 41 mm! Another plus: outstanding suitability for everyday use. The case and crown are made of high-strength seawater-resistant German Submarine Steel. The Black Hard Coating of the case, crown and rotating bezel skilfully showcases this unusual look and forms a perfect contrast to the dial. Furthermore, thanks to TEGIMENT technology, a special hardening process for submarine steel, the Black Hard Coating is extremely scratch-resistant. We have designed the rotating bezel so that it is captive in the case.
There is no doubt that the U50 S L is well equipped – as confirmed by the DNV. This independent classification company verifies and certifies pressure resistance to a diving depth of 500 metres (= 50 bar) and temperature resistance and 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.
