I love a good diver but
it may just be my state of mind these days.... but it all seems so SILLY! I am more interested in watches that become collectors' items because of a 'cult' that forms around them over the years. These watches created 'to be' collectors items sort of reveal 'their hand', and I find them sort of laughable. Also, after some years of collecting, a diver is a diver is a diver. get one or two good ones (Rolex, whatever) and get on with the not-ever-diving already.

Announcing the Sinn Ultimate U diver's watch
The Sinn U1 has been very popular, notably in Singapore with retailer The Hour Glass commissioning several exclusive limited editions, of which several forum members own (I own the U1 Tempus, shown below). The latest diver's watch from Sinn is the 47 mm U...

more pictures of the Ultimate U ............
Managed to snap a few pics of this new release too. Enjoy the pics...
SINN is great..
I have two SINN watches, a 244 and UX. Both accurate, well built and in today's world a bargain. Good photos and article.
Bill...Another one for you, my friend! :)
I love it, as I love the former version. It is a simple, strong and without pretention watch. Nicely done! Best, Nicolas
OH I would be so luckY
U-Bill ah nice sound to it. How many should there be in this edition?
Yes Please
I actually have the white face U1 on order not sure when it arrives. I will have to take a few snaps of the U1 family. HAGWE
A big U1...!!
are there any wrist shots or pics next to a U1 for comparison..?? Is Bill the Sinn ambassador...LOL...as I'm sure this will soon grace his wrist..!! Yours, Andy. PS - will that leather strap fit a U1..?? It looks like a beauty.. This message has been edit...
The final pic is a comparison
although the perspective doesn't show the difference very well, it is noticeably larger than the original, though not extremely large. The new crown is enormous so the watch still retains good proportions although the date is a bit small. - SJX
Missed that last pic...doh...
yes it does look nicely proportioned...and love the leather strap. Andy.
leather strap in pic above will fit.....it comes with the watch as a package.
the U1 and the Ultimate U both fit. the strap is from another series of Sinn watches. interestingly I bought that exact strap about 2 years ago to fit on my original U1. Its also waterproof and can be dunked into water with ease (tho it does not dry out a...

I'm with you...
...but from a slightly different angle. I don't mind this U1 (if only their press agent was actually aware that the submarine profile on the dial is a 212, instead of just "a submarine"...but I digress). I agree on the LE and pushing of the 'collector' st...
Actually they do know it's the 212 class
The press release I posted reads: "Exclusively for Sinn, the steel supplier of Howaldtswerke-Deutsche Werft and Nordseewerke Emden GmbH shipyards are supplying the watchmaker with smaller amounts of exactly the same steel of which the world’s most modern ...
Don't get me wrong.
I really like Sinn products. I have a thing for the U2 in particular. I did see that they mentioned the 212 (not sure what's scarier being in a fuel cell sub or a nuclear powered sub!) in relation to the case material, but the rest of the press release ju...
Great info! Thks for sharing
It's just too bad that at 47mm, the watch is just too big for my relatively slim wrists though
finally Sinn is coming out with Larger Case
GREAT looking Sinn.. i really like it a lot untill i found out about the Price !!!! for 5,200 US $ ?!!!! i'm gonna pass. THANKS FOR THE INFOS. Tony
