My Sinn EZM1 on a Di-Modell Chronissimo strap. I find this far more practical than the OEM titanium bracelet which I also want to preserve. Sinn sell a "Chronissimo" strap, at least they did a couple of years ago, which looked to be a re-badged Di-Modell with the only difference of any significance being the Sinn name on the buckle. I bought one but it was too long which is why I'm on the Di-Modell. Highly recommend this strap whether from Sinn or Di-Modell.



Another shot showing more of the strap...



... and here's my EZM1.1 on a red Hirsch Ayrton performance strap. Sinn's OEM rubber strap is too heavy for me, this is light & strong, rinses easily and the red on the strap matches the red elements on the dial very well.

Looks great on those straps

Here is a one for the Sinn fans, which I am owing a nice Tigmented 756 chronograph.

The NASM holds the Sinn watch worn by Alan Eustace that he wore during his record breaking free fall jump from 25 miles lasting 15 minutes. His watch can be seen here in the NASM online collection.

I had the great opportunity to spend two hours with the curator of one of the NASM collections this past week and as we walked the floor she pointed out Alan Eustace's free fall suit along with his Sinn watch.

Here is his watch as seen online in the NASM collection.



Here is the suit I photographed yesterday and the watch on display.



Here is Alan Eustace's record setting jump for those not familiar with is accomplishment.

Been eyeing this for a while and decided to pick it up while in Singapore for business. Really thrilled with this watch!
I own the same watch. Love it. I've taken to German watches and expect in the future that there will be more Sinn's, Stowa's and maybe a Damasko in my watch case.

what's the pricing on something like this?
Well this has the same lemania movement as a Speedmaster Pro. These where made late 80’s early 90’s and a bit hard to find. They still make a current 903. With some changes. Date and automatic plus waterproof with an internal bezel operated from a “pusher/crown” at 10 on the dial. Still the same look. 3-4K usd depending on color and options. It’s the true heir to the Navitimer 806 as Helmut Sinn purchased the rights to the watch in 1978 when Breitling Closed. When breitling reopened in the mid 80’s under new ownership they sued for the name and watch and only got the name. While mine has some slight changes from the 806 Helmut took it further as was his style and kept improving it hence the current one. All are known as Sinn 903’s and you can easily get them new, or hunt for a lemania manual winding one. Price on those is variable... depends on howmany are out there and when was the last time someone talked about it on a forum.

Currently the tooling for the original Brietling 806 is owned by Chronotime.ch which is another story.

The current Navitimer 01 is larger and not as pretty in my eyes as the dial is different from an 806.

They are interesting as they are true Navitimers but many “watch” guys assume they are clones. But they are great if you don’t want to spend money on a perfect vintage 806 and want a more modern piece at a slightly lower price.

i perfect vintage 806 is like seeing a tasmanian tiger.

i think the 806's are underpriced at 3-5k imo
