I love the EZM 13 but just to heavy for me.

 

Can't really go wrong with a Sinn.

 

This would have made a nice Flieger IMHO as well - and with 10 or 20 bar WR probably saved some gramms as well. The 103 ST Sa is about 10 gramms less heavy. I am wearing it on an Isofrane. That's 126g for the combo and I'm feeling comfortable.

 

I am looking for an EZM 3. Same looks but without the Chrono.

 

Sold GBP3600 hammer price (GBP4464 incl premium & VAT) for what looks like a fair price.

 

One of my favorite everyday watches...

 

I am a fan of Sinn. I think they solid tool watch. My current one and only Sinn

EZM 1.1

 

Got my Sinn in September. Form and function married. Looking at all these SINNs w straps has me thinking about swapping out the H link for maybe a vintage leather look.

 

Another thread I shouldn't have opened!! Some lovely watches and more temptation

 

Yeah. You totally messed up. My budget! Now I’m looking at a brother to join the 556..haha. .

 

This is a youtube video showing the Sinn 104 range put together by their Australian importer. It shows the 5 dial variants and colours in different light conditions. The blue dial does look nice.

 

Regarding Pilot watch straps and your belief that the design was aimed to shield the pilot or navigator from extreme temperatures, you are very right!
Perhaps most cold in everyday use and there is some extra information in this article where the author states that the design was also to protect the watch from the pilot's perspiration!

Did spend some wonderful years as a fighter pilot before starting to fly commercial jets and I can assure you that after some training sessions you were really, really wet!

Must say that I do like the different models of the Sinn brand that I must confess are new to me!

 

I like the new dials!

 

Some macros of that lovely copper dial...

 

A thread full of Sinners

 

I miss this one sometimes...wore a bit too thick for my liking

 

There is a documentary on Netflix about this called 14 Minutes from Earth. You can see the Sinn on his right wrist during prep for the first launch at 51:09 and again at 1:00:26 and 1:08:19 during prep for the aborted and then successful final launches. Below is a still, sorry about the dust particles on my laptop screen .

 

Just watched that and missed it lol.

 

Well the Sinn wasn't exactly heavily featured in the documentary and I didn't see him wearing it on the ground as his everyday watch. Actually I don't know what the purpose of the watch was other than perhaps as a back-up, and, given how restrictive movement would have been in his pressure suit, how easy it would have been to read.
