In my last post about my Sinn 836 I said I was going to get a U1, so I did.

This is the U1-T. T for tegimented. Just like my 836-T, the entirety of the case bezel and bracelet, already made of German submarine steel, are treated with some sort of carbon diffusion process, raising their Vickers hardness to around 1400VH, which is just about on par with ceramic. I believe 316L stainless sits around 250 or so? So yeah. Very very scratch resistant.

I’m over the moon with it.

I've long admired Sinn watches.

I’m a fan of Sinn. I’ve been lucky to collect a few watches over the past decade that most would consider “better” watches, but my Sinn 356 gets more wrist time than some of the bigger names.

I definitely see a few more Sinn watches in my stable before I finally settle down on my purchasing, and yeah, their pilots chronographs are amazing. You should post it sometime.

Love the Matt black face. I would enjoy something similar, but slightly less rugged.
