Sinn has just announced four new limited edition watches in anticipation of Germany?s watch fair, MunichTime.
Two of these are the beloved 41-millimeter 104 St Sa with either an anthracite or blue burst dial. Sinn has used these dials before to excellent effect on their 556, transforming those clean-cut pilots tools in to surprisingly dressy watches. On the sportier 104, the black rotating bezel frames the gray and blue dials to form an interesting mash-up of dressiness and utility. As an owner of the 556 anthracite, I can attest to the lovely mellow shimmer of that dial.

The 104 houses a Sellita SW220-1 automatic movement with day-date complication, measures 11.5 millimeters thick, and is robustly water resistant (200 meters / DIN8310) anti-magnetic (meets DIN 8309) and shock resistant (exceeds ISO 1413). Lume throughout the hands, dial, and bezel keep it legible in all situations, while its polished case with traditional lugs keep it classic in style. The 104 models will sell for $1330 on leather, $1560 on Sinn?s H-Link bracelet, and $1630 on the Fine Link Bracelet.

Damascus is a combination of two stainless steels that are folded in on each other, resulting in a marbleized effect that will be unique to each of these 100 watches. Even the crown, caseback, and pin-buckle are ...
