The 2010/2011 Catalog
Foreword
Our customers trust the quality, reliability and proven performance of our timepieces. They include people who have a high afnity for technology. They are fascinated, for example, by our solutions for magnetic eld protection and scratch resistance. However, our customers also include those who must be able to rely on their watch completely, such as divers, pilots or elite special forces units like the German GSG 9. It's functionality that counts. Therefore SINN watches include only truly useful technological features and omit purely fashionable gadgetry. Thus we are always on the lookout for new technologies and materials. We often nd inspiration by looking beyond the usual sources. We observe the developments in the sciences and other industries and push the limits of what is physically possible time and again in creating new watches. What's the most exciting thing about our work? There are still many discoveries to be made! We hope you enjoy reading our informative catalog!

Timeless esthetics and the power of cutting edge innovation:
SINN Spezialuhren zu Frankfurt am Main
For some, time is a philosophical concept. For others, it's a precisely measurable unit. For SINN, it is both. Our watches unite traditional ne craftsmanship with pioneering innovations. The result: timepieces that people can rely on throughout their lives and that guarantee the highest precision even under extreme conditions. This reliability can be experienced rsthand and veried by objective methods. Groundbreaking developments. Designed for practical use. The team of watchmakers, designers and engineers at SINN focuses on technological innovations, new materials and new solutions. Our objective is to develop watches that are absolutely reliable no matter where they are worn on the trading oor or on a polar expedition, under water or above the clouds, in the desert or the rainforest. At SINN, functionality is never achieved only at a theoretical level. That's why our customers include pilots, divers and members of special forces such as the GSG 9. Our watch tests are tougher than the real world. Special areas of application require special solutions. A pilot's watch has to satisfy different demands than a diver's watch. The endurance tests to which SINN watches are subjected vary accordingly. The tests have only one thing in common:
Even under the toughest climatic conditions, Arved Fuchs swears by the reliability and suitability of the U2 for everyday use.
A discreet sign of SINN's exclusive cutting edge technology: the Ar-symbol on the dial denotes models lled with inert gas.
The endurance test at 45 C in the environmental test chamber.

they are carried out under realistic conditions. Furthermore, they document the functional robustness of our models very impressively. And that's not going to change. You won't nd technological stagnation at SINN. The SINN way: seeking tomorrow's solutions today. The company has focused entirely on high-quality mechanical watches since its founding
in 1961. When engineer Lothar Schmidt purchased the rm from its founder in 1994, a new era of technology began. The list of innovations is impressive. The most important developments by SINN include: Magnetic Field Protection Temperature Resistance Technology Ar-Dehumidifying Technology HYDRO DIAPAL
TEGIMENT Technology Black Hard Coating on TEGIMENT Technology Captive Safety Bezel Innovations and technologies available only in our watches. And there are many more yet to come.
Details of selected SINN technologies
HYDRO
Absolutely free from fogging, pressure-resistant at any accessible diving depth and perfect readability from any angle under water these are the unbeatable advantages of our diving watches equipped with HYDRO technology. How does it work? The movement, dial and hands are immersed directly in a crystal-clear bath of oil. The watch is thus free from fogging, as there is no air inside the case. The principle behind this technology is simple, but its implementation requires some complex steps with meticulous attention to detail. A HYDRO watch is lled completely with a special oil, i.e. the movement, dial and hands are immersed directly in a crystal-clear bath of oil. That's why every HYDRO watch must also be a quartz watch. The oscillation of the balance in a mechanical watch cannot overcome the friction of a liquid medium. There are convincing advantages to this type of construction: the watch is absolutely free of fogging, because there is no air inside the case. Oil is non-compressible, so the internal pressure of the watch constantly adjusts to the external pressure by means of tiny movements of the membrane back. Thus the HYDRO watch is pressure-resistant at any accessible diving depth. The crystal and back are not exposed to any compressive stress even at the greatest depths.
The UX model under water: with oil lling on the left and without it on the right (for comparative demonstration purposes).
A further advantage is that the refractive index of our HYDRO oil matches that of sapphire crystal glass, so no light is refracted at the interface between the oil and the sapphire crystal. As a result, a HYDRO watch can be read at any angle under water. For the UX, SINN selected a chronometer quartz movement with thermal compensation made by the Swiss manufacturer ETA. This movement is accurate to within 0.05 seconds per day, so the watch will run at most 20 seconds slow or fast over the course of a year.
Temperature Resistance Technology
The long-term accuracy of a watch movement crucially depends on the lubrication of its moving parts this is particularly true at extreme temperatures. We use the special oil developed by SINN to ensure reliable function under even the most extreme conditions. With its outstanding properties, it provides lubrication that is highly resistant to aging at temperatures between 45 C and +80 C. The higher the temperature, the lower the viscosity of the lubricating oil lm. At low temperatures, the oil becomes more viscous, leading to increased friction throughout the movement; more energy is lost in the train wheel, the escapement and the complete balance. Consequently, the amplitude of the oscillation decreases and the watch becomes increasingly inaccurate. In conjunction with the aging of the oil, which likewise increases the viscosity of the oil, conventional watch oils can thicken enough that the watch stops at temperatures just below the freezing point. Such watches no longer function reliably when used at lower temperatures! Only the special oil with substantially lower viscosity developed by SINN for use in extreme temperatures provides reliable long-term lubrication at very low temperatures. The composition of the oil ensures that it is still sufciently uid at temperatures of 45 C and below to maintain the movement's proper mechanical function. Moreover, the viscosity of the oil at +80 C does not change enough to cause the oil to run off the ruby pallets of the escapement. Our Sinn special oil is highly resistant to aging, and provides lubrication for use under extreme conditions.
Individual testing of the watches in an environmental test chamber at temperatures between 45 C and +80 C. As part of our quality control procedures, each individual watch must withstand a range of extreme temperatures without problems.
-Dehumidifying Technology
Ar-Dehumidifying Technology solves a basic problem of mechanical watches: the aging of oils due to moisture in the air contained inside, or diffusing into, the watch. The movement is mounted in a nearly anhydrous atmosphere thanks to the three Ar-Dehumidifying Technology elements of drying capsule, EDR seals and protective gas lling. Aging processes and fogging of the crystal from sudden cold are prevented, and reliable functioning and accuracy are ensured. Why does a watertight watch need dehumidifying technology anyway? The beauty and fascination of owning a SINN watch are enhanced by the knowledge of the ne mechanical precision of this object of daily use. Nonetheless, no matter how accurately the individual components are made, friction and wear must be minimized so that they function durably. Thus high-quality synthetic oils are used to ensure optimal lubrication of the movement bearings. This remains an unavoidable process in all mechanical watches. Humidity, however, accelerates the aging of the oils. How does moisture get into the watch? Water is always present in the atmosphere in gaseous form, which is why it can penetrate the seal systems of a watch case. Temperature changes then cause microcondensation, permitting water to collect in liquid form on exposed parts of the movement. The consequences: The efciency of the lubrication deteriorates. Electrochemical corrosion, wear and friction increase, reducing the amplitude of the balance. The watch runs with decreasing accuracy and must nally be reconditioned. Our engineers looked for solutions to this problem and found them in the form of dehumidifying technology. Three technical elements The Ar-Dehumidifying Technology is based on three technical elements: a drying capsule, EDR seals and a protective gas lling. The primary element: the drying capsule The drying capsule is the most important part of the Ar-Dehumidifying Technology.

The Ar-symbol on the dial indicates models with Ar-Dehumidifying Technology.
The color scale for the Ar-Dehumidifying Technology with a drying capsule: the capsule continues to absorb moisture until the darkest coloration is reached.
The capsule is lled with copper sulfate; this absorbs moisture from the air inside the case and binds it permanently. Copper sulfate turns increasingly blue as its water content rises; the shade serves as an indicator of the drying capsule's level of saturation (see diagram). The capsule features a small viewing window of sapphire crystal glass for this purpose. EDR seals To minimize the exchange of gas between atmospheric air and that inside the case, and thus the penetration of atmospheric moisture, we only use Extreme Diffusion-Reducing (EDR) seals in watches featuring Ar-Dehumidifying Technology. These seals reduce the inltration of moisture in the case to as little as 25% of the value permitted by conventional case seals made of nitrile rubber (NBR). Superior protective gas lling The Ar-Dehumidifying Technology is completed by a superior protective gas lling. This creates an ideal climate for the Ar-Dehumidifying Technology
to function in. Only moisture diffusing from the air now has to be bound in the drying capsule. This avoids the humidity which is otherwise locked in during conventional assembly. Mounted in a nearly anhydrous environment These painstaking and technically elaborate measures are intended to keep the movement in a protective environment which is almost completely dry (anhydrous). A positive consequence of this is that it slows the aging process of the oil, thereby extending the functional life of the movement. Also, fogging of the crystal due to sudden temperature shocks (such as immersion in cold water) can be prevented, ensuring that the watch remains clearly legible at all times. Three-year warranty Ar-Dehumidifying Technology is a truly pioneering achievement for mechanical wristwatches by our engineers and a decisive advancement for all acionados of mechanical watches. A three-year warranty is offered on all watches featuring Ar-Dehumidifying Technology.
Unobtrusively integrated in the case: the coloration of the drying capsule with its inspection glass indicates the amount of moisture absorbed. The movement remains dry.
The drying capsule, like the push-piece and crown, is securely sealed with a seal made of special plastic. On the right: copper sulfate (CuSO4) binds moisture and changes color from white to blue.
DIAPAL
The objective of the Ar-Dehumidifying Technology is to prevent the oil from aging. The idea behind the DIAPAL technology goes one step further. In this case we select special pairs of materials that work together without lubrication (!) and without causing friction, ensuring long-term accuracy of the movement and particularly of the Swiss lever escapement. To counteract the aging processes of the oil in the watch, the movement is maintained in a dry environment lled with protective gas using our Ar-Dehumidifying Technology. The technicians, engineers and physicists at SINN are currently focusing on an even more efcient solution to this problem. Their idea: if oil isn't used, there won't be any difculties with aging oil. The approach based on this idea focuses on the Swiss lever escapement. The reason for this is the special role this part of the movement plays with regard to the aging of the oil. Empirically,
Amplitude
the lever escapement is the most sensitive component of the movement with regard to accuracy, i.e. the quality of the lubrication at this point has the largest impact on the accuracy of the entire movement. In the beginning was the diamond: today we celebrate the triumphs of nanotechnology SINN began its research on the DIAPAL technology in 1995 with the idea of using diamond pallets to replace ruby ones. For conventional escapements, oil is required only to reduce friction between the ruby (pallet stone) and the steel (escape wheel). In the Swiss lever escapement,

a polished diamond surface proved to be a better friction partner than the ruby traditionally used for this purpose. Lubrication is no longer required for lasting accuracy and function. However, this combination still failed to produce acceptable oscillation amplitudes without lubrication. Thus, in 1995 SINN began testing numerous other material combinations for use in watch technology, and applied for the rst patents in 2000.

TEGIMENT Technology
and the Black Hard Coating
The stainless steel case hardened using TEGIMENT Technology provides extremely effective protection from scratches on the case surface. To achieve this, we do not apply any coatings of foreign materials; rather, the surface of the stainless steel itself is hardened in a special process. In turn, the black, hard coating is applied to the U1000 S model, for example, by physical vapor deposition (PVD). This high-quality, black, hard coating is achieved only in combination with TEGIMENT Technology. To keep the cases of our watches in the best possible condition when they are worn, SINN uses the TEGIMENT Technology for several models. A TEGIMENT case has a surface hardness of approximately 1200 Vickers. This value corresponds roughly to the hardness of commonly used zirconium oxide ceramics. By comparison, an unhardened stainless steel case has a hardness of approximately 220 Vickers. To understand the durability of this technology properly, you must know that a TEGIMENT layer is not a coating of foreign material. Rather, the surface of the stainless steel itself is hardened using a special process. With this technology, SINN effectively protects the surface of the watch case from scratches. The 756, 757, 856, 857, 900 and U1000 models as well as the bezels of the SINN U1, U2 and UX diver's watches are treated with this technology. Black hard coating The TEGIMENT Technology forms the basis for PVD coating for the models 756 S, 757 S, 856 S, 857 S, U1000 S and U2 S. TEGIMENT cases have a special feature which immediately gave the SINN engineers a new idea. The hardness prole of the TEGIMENT layer is continuous, i.e. the high hardness of 1200 Vickers transitions very gradually to the basic hardness of the stainless steel. This makes it possible to apply a PVD-colored coating on a hardened case without having to fear the familiar peeling of the colored coat from the body of the case.
Scratch-proof like the TEGIMENT layer: the black hard coating on the U1000 S.
The TEGIMENT, on the other hand, has a hardness comparable to that of the PVD coating and merges continuously with the basic hardness of the case. This prevents the "eggshell" effect and dramatically reduces wear. For this reason, SINN uses PVD coatings only on TEGIMENT cases. This combination is the only way to achieve high-quality coloring of a steel case by PVD.

Magnetic Field Protection

Magnetic elds such as those of electric motors, loudspeakers or door closers cause the Nivarox balance spring to become magnetized and adversely affect the accuracy of the watch. We solve this problem by using a protective sheath consisting of a closed, magnetically soft inner case that includes the dial, the movement holding ring and the case back. This magnetic eld protection far exceeds the DIN specication for anti-magnetic watches and minimizes magnetic interference. As early as the 1930s, watches used for special purposes were protected against magnetic elds. Later, magnetic eld protection was integrated in pilots' watches due to the magnetic deectors used in the radar screens found in airplane cockpits and ground stations. However, the restriction of magnetic eld protection to professionally used chronometers is proving absolute in today's world. In a study of 1000 watches by SINN's customer service department, nearly 60% of the watches received were magnetized, and half of these (30%) had severe defects caused by magnetic elds. During this study, the speed of the movement before and after demagnetization was documented. If the speed deviation before demagnetization was greater than 5% of the speed after demagnetization, a defect due to magnetic elds was assumed. While the earth's magnetic eld is far too weak to pose any risk, magnetic elds from electric motors, loudspeakers, door closers or other such sources can cause lasting interference with the function of a mechanical watch. The primary source of error for magnetic interference with the rate of the movement is a magnetized Nivarox balance spring, i.e. the timing component of the watch. The Nivarox balance spring is made of a magnetizable material for the purpose of thermal compensation. When it comes to magnetic eld sensitivity, the modern balance spring is far superior to the older steel springs with regard to sensitivity to magnetic elds, because Nivarox springs are non-magnetic as required by DIN 8309. However, in the case of a relatively low magnetic eld exposure of 4,800 A/m or

The chart shows the shielding inuence of the magnetically soft sheath. Without magnetic eld protection, nothing prevents the magnetic eld from affecting the movement of the watch. The SINN magnetic eld protection reduces the strength of the magnetic eld in the interior of the case to a fraction of the external value (red curve).
6 mT roughly one quarter of the pole strength of a common house-hold magnet this permits an accuracy error of 30 seconds per day. Compliance with chronometer standards is thus impossible. If the spring is exposed to stronger magnetic elds, the oscillation of the balance will change permanently. Protection from magnetic elds Magnetic elds can be diverted using magnetizable materials. If you place a hollow body made of iron in a magnetic eld, you will see that a large part of the magnetic ux lines are bundled in the wall of the hollow body. The interior space is thus shielded from magnetic forces to a large extent.
SINN engineers use this principle to their advantage. It is important that after exposure to a magnetic eld the protective sheath does not remain magnetized, as it would become a source of interference. Materials that can be easily magnetized but have only low remanence (residual magnetization after exposure to a magnetic eld) are referred to as "magnetically soft". Pure iron is a good example of this. With the help of magnetically soft materials, the watches bearing our magnetic eld protection symbol are protected from magnetic elds up to 80,000 A/m and 100 mT.
At SINN we use a closed, magnetically soft case interior consisting of the dial, the movement holding ring and the case back to achieve this protection. This type of shielding far exceeds the DIN specication for anti-magnetic watches. The DIN specication for anti-magnetic watches requires protection only up to 4,800 A/m.

Captive Safety Bezel

According to the DIN specication, the bezel of a diving watch may only be turned counter-clockwise and should ratchet in increments of one minute. The construction of the rotating bezel is an extremely sensitive safety topic. To preclude risks to the life and health of the diver, our U1000 series employs a safety solution based on two elements. One is the secure attachment of the rotating bezel, which differs greatly from the conventional snap-in mechanism: thanks to our design, the bezel remains in place, even upon impact. And a mechanism in the U1000 series provides additional protection against accidental misadjustment. Thanks to this comprehensive safety system, divers can be condent they are in fact safe and protected. In addition, the precise ratcheting with its unmistakable clicks in increments of one minute is an audible expression of quality.
Diver's bezel The rotating diver's bezel is rmly attached to the toothed ring with four screws and thus cannot be lost. Toothed ring The toothed ring has upper and lower toothing and is seated in the case band. The upper rectangular toothing prevents the diver's bezel from shifting inadvertently. The lower saw toothing together with the spring ring ensures that the bezel can be turned in only one direction.
Spring ring The lower saw toothing of the toothed ring slips over the springs of the spring ring when turned counter-clockwise. Clockwise rotation is blocked by these springs. Toothing of the center section of the case The toothed ring is secured by the interlocking of the upper toothing and the cogs on the case band.
14
Secure attachment of the rotating Bezel The rotating bezel of the U1000 series cannot be lost. That means that it does not become detached when something hits it or it gets stuck somewhere. To achieve this secure attachment, the diver's safety bezel is screwed to the underlying toothed ring using four screws. In addition, the case band is surrounded by toothing which interlocks with the toothed ring and thus secures the attachment to the case. All of our rotating bezels are secured against loss; in other divers' and pilots' watches a similar technical principle is used.
Unintentional misadjustment impossible In addition to preventing loss of the ring, this secure attachment mechanism protects against misadjustment in both directions, e.g. when the watch bumps into other objects. In order to turn the bezel of the U1000, you must press it down gently with your ngers. Under this pressure, the upper cogs on the toothed ring disengage from the case band, and the bezel can be rotated. The lower saw toothing of the ring produces the characteristic full clicking sound of the ratcheting mechanism. Inadvertent misadjustment of the rotating bezel by contact with a nger or impact is impossible. The rotating movement is made possible by the saw toothing on the underside of the toothed ring gliding over the springs of the spring ring. This design permits only counter-clockwise movement of the bezel. When you let go, the spring ring generates the required upward pressure to secure the bezel in the toothing of the case and to protect it against accidental misadjustment.

Instrument Watches and Chronographs.

These watches have a proud tradition at SINN that dates back to the company's beginnings. Our reputation was established with instrument wristwatches and instrument panel chronometers for aviation. Since 1961 pilots, for whom reliable time measurement is crucial to survival, have depended on the perfect readability and above-average accuracy of our timepieces especially in extreme situations.

Set of dashboard clocks

When Sinn Spezialuhren was founded in 1961, cockpit instruments and the precision they must maintain even under extreme conditions played a special role. They inspired Helmut Sinn, the companys founder and a pilot himself, to create his rst aviation chronographs. But these on-board instruments are indispensable not only on airplanes and yachts. Fans of classic car rallies also rely on precision timepieces that are just as stylish as they are functional. These events require adherence to specied times in addition to excellent orientation and the perfect control of the vehicle. Now you and your team can select a combination of navigation instruments for the next rally or tour. For example, the dashboard clock, precise to the second, with a removable bezel. And up to two chronographs, with such features as a tachymeter scale, ascending or descending numerals, and yback function. Perfect for setting target times and completing time trials successfully. These instruments can be securely fastened to the dashboard with the help of mounting plates made of satin-nished titanium. They can be removed easily by pressing on the bayonet joint (no chance for thieves!) and replaced as needed. And during the off-season, when there are no rallies to be run, the set of dashboard clocks looks good on your desk, for example. The elegant wooden display block pictured on the cover is available separately. - Case and baseplate of pure titanium - Secure fastening with bayonet joint - Sapphire crystal glass (!) with innovative anti-reection technology - Flyback function on chronograph - Watertight and pressure-resistant to 10 bar - Ar-Dehumidifying Technology for enhanced freedom from fogging - High-altitude resistance (for use in airplanes) - Fully functional at temperatures between -20 C and +60 C - Rotating bezel with exchangeable inserts - Enhanced resistance to shock and vibration

Fully functional even under extreme conditions These clocks and chronographs are watertight. But even with watertight instruments, the air enclosed in the case contains water in a gaseous state. And air can also penetrate the seals. When the water vapor in the case condenses into liquid, the instruments are impossible to read. To prevent this from happening, Sinn has developed Ar-Dehumidifying Technology. The combination of a special drying capsule, EDR seals (extreme diffusion reduction) and a lling of protective gas guarantee that these instruments remain free from fogging, even in difcult weather conditions. Another bene t: With its outstanding qualities, SINN special oil ensures the functional reliability of these instruments at temperatures ranging from -20C to +60C.
The unused drying capsule it turns blue upon absorbing water.
Three exchangeable bezel inserts are available These dashboard instruments can be equipped with a count-up or count-down bezel as desired. The tachymeter bezel for the chronograph makes it possible to measure average speeds. You can select the bezel you want for your dashboard clock and order additional ones as needed. They can be exchanged easily.
Thanks to the yback function you are perfectly equipped to drive a dened route within a specied time a challenge for both the driver and navigator. The dashboard chronograph with yback function allows the chronograph to be tripped while in use. With the exchangeable bezel it is possible to set precise targets and read them off at a glance.
Bayonet joint protects against theft Simply press and turn the clock to remove it from the baseplate and store it in the leather pouch provided. The clock can be reattached just as easily and is once again ready for use, thanks to the convenient bayonet joint.

Diving Watches and Mission Timers.

SINN was the rst company to manufacture diving watches that complied with European diving equipment standards, and the rst to test and certify them for pressure resistance, watertightness and enhanced freedom from fogging. The technical development of diving watches is one of the greatest challenges for engineers and watchmakers, because these timepieces must be absolutely waterproof, perfectly readable in all lighting and water conditions and extremely durable. Our watches are the ideal mission timers.

The U2 in the realm of eternal ice
ARVED FUCHS
Arved Fuchs is the most famous adventurer in Germany. At least, this is how the native of SchleswigHolstein is frequently described in the media. This is all the more surprising because two elements of the statement are not quite correct. Indisputably, Arved Fuchs is well-known. However, this is an understatement to say the least, as the 55-year-old resident of Bad Bramstedt has a rm place in the history of the world's polar explorers. Furthermore, the professional designation he considers appropriate sounds considerably more prosaic. He sees himself as an expedition leader who gives lectures and works as a writer, journalist and lm-maker. 1984. In 1993 he sailed through the Northwest Passage within one year without an icebreaker. His boat, the "Dagmar Aaen", a shark cutter restored in 1988, was the rst sailboat to circumnavigate all of North and South America without an icebreaker. In 2000 he retraced the legendary Shackleton expedition in a historically accurate replica of the "James Caird" lifeboat, sailed through the famous Northeast Passage on his fourth attempt in 2002, and crossed the Northwest Passage for the second time between 2003 and 2004. In 2006 he traveled around Ellesmere Island, the tenth largest island in the world, by dogsled and on skis. All this is impressive enough. But in 1989 he made history: in temperatures as low
Arved Fuchs: Polar explorer, expedition leader, journalist and lm-maker.
For more than thirty years he has led expeditions to the most remote corners of the globe frequently under extreme conditions. For example, in 1977 there was the two-month trip up the De Pas and George Rivers in the Canadian province of
Quebec in traditional Indian canoes. That was followed by numerous other journeys. In 1981 he crossed the Atlantic in a sailboat; in 1983 he explored Greenland by dogsled; and he rounded Cape Horn in a collapsible boat in the winter of

as 52 C, his eight-member expedition team struggled across 1000 kilometers in 56 days to the North Pole. In the same year he reached the South Pole with Reinhold Messner as well. He was thus the rst German to reach both poles and the rst person to do it on skis. Thirty years of cracking glaciers, glittering icebergs, inhuman cold. It seems that Arved Fuchs
can't tear himself away from the eternal ice. Whether with sled dogs, on skis, on foot or by boat, for him it's always a "journey to the kingdom of the senses", as he explained in an interview. "In the silence there you can truly hear nature, hear the wind, your sense of smell is intensied, you see things differently and more intensely. For me it's an incredibly beautiful landscape."
At the same time these expeditions are the fulllment of a childhood dream. Even as a small boy, he was spellbound by the fascinating stories of famous polar explorers and learned the legends of the North. "Our family read a lot, and the bookshelves were full of books and reports on Nansen, James Cook, Magellan and many others. I found it absolutely fascinating. I also
81
loved outdoor sports such as hiking, riding, sailing and skiing, and foreign cultures and new situations were always exciting." He began organizing his rst expeditions during his training as a seaman in the merchant marine. He abandoned his studies in marine engineering to fulll his dream of becoming an expedition leader. With regard to carrying out these expeditions, Arved Fuchs sees himself as a meticulous craftsman. He believes that expedition management is a profession that can be learned.
Fuchs is very team-oriented in his work, with a strong sense of responsibility. To him, adventures are creative moments in the mind. They give him the freedom to think outside the box. His objective is not success at any price. He is convinced that no expedition is worth a human life. His undertakings are always precisely planned down to the tiniest detail. What's important is to achieve control of the calculable risks precisely because unforeseeable risks are always present.
Even under the toughest climatic conditions, Arved Fuchs swears by the reliability and suitability of the U2 for everyday use.
The equipment is part of the meticulous preparation. When it comes to time measurement, this connoisseur of mechanical watches has relied on the U2 since June 2007. He particularly values the uncompromising durability of this diving watch. For instance, despite everything his watch has been through, there are no scratches on the crystal or the case. In his opinion, the U2 is better than watches made by other manufacturers with regard to suitability for everyday use. "On my expeditions I can't worry about handling a watch carefully. I don't need a piece of pretty jewelry. I need reliable equipment - a watch that works perfectly under water, on land and in sub-zero temperatures, and that I can rely on one hundred percent, that gives me the exact time under any circumstances and all climatic conditions. And I have all that with the U2", says Arved Fuchs, impressed by the reliable mechanics.
82
For Arved Fuchs, expeditions are "journeys in the kingdom of the senses" and the fulllment of a childhood dream.
In addition to the durability of the watch, there are particular technologies he favors. For instance, the U2 has a second time zone, which becomes crucially important in regions where daylight lasts 24 hours. It's clear that precise time measurement is required for reliable navigation and the U2 plays a crucial role in this despite state-of-theart satellite technology. "Other
watches keep accurate time, too. But what distinguishes the U2 is the perfect combination of various special features and technologies." Naturally, as a seaman he is familiar with Germanischer Lloyd and its high quality standards. He knows that SINN has its diving watches tested and certied there. This plays a major role in his decision of which watch to purchase.
"This goes beyond run-of-the-mill marketing. With this certication, SINN has undertaken to document the high-performance functionality of its watches on a voluntary basis. To me that is a true sign of quality."

The U2 in use in harsh climatic conditions
TIM THOMPSON
The best stories are drawn from everyday life - for instance, that of Canadian Tim Thompson. He lives in the northeastern part of Ontario in the Timmins region, where the climatic conditions are very harsh. The area is known for extreme temperature uctuations: in summer the mercury rises to 40 C, dropping to 50 C in winter. But this story is particularly interesting because Tim Thompson has been the proud possessor of the U2 diving watch made by Sinn Spezialuhren zu Frankfurt am Main since December 2005. the snowblower. In summer he goes swimming with it. And he wears it when he's driving new piles in murky water for slips. And of course he wears it when collecting maple syrup in spring or using his chain saw. In the meantime, the U2 has experienced snowstorms and thunderstorms, winter cold and summer heat. It goes wherever Thompson goes and is subjected to every imaginable test in his everyday routine. However, to date no damage, dents or scratches are visible. The crystal is also intact and the TEGIMENT layer is in perfect condition. The movement still keeps time to its initial accuracy of +3.5 to 5.0 seconds/day. And the most important thing for Tim Thompson: the watch has never stopped.
Tim Thompson proudly shows off his much-loved U2.
This is became known when Tim Thompson reported on his experiences with the watch in a letter to Lothar Schmidt, the owner of SINN. He explained that it had always been very difcult to nd a watch that could withstand the extreme climatic conditions of his home region. All of the timepieces he'd previously tried ran slow or stopped after a period of time
or fogged up. Quartz watches stop running entirely. One day Tim Thompson read about the U2. He was so intrigued that he ordered it immediately. Since then it has accompanied him in all weather. Thompson described how he wears the U2 over his glove in winter, for instance when he's shoveling snow. He wears it to go iceshing and when working with

Aerobatic pilot relies on SINN watches
RALF NIEBERGALL
With his aircraft, a Siai Marchetti SF-260, Ralf Niebergall arouses nostalgic memories among the spectators at air shows. But when it comes to modern time measurement on the ground and in the air, the 40-year-old aerobatic pilot from Neuwied relies exclusively on watches made by SINN Spezialuhren zu Frankfurt am Main. This is not a coincidence. After all, safety is the most important thing in aerobatics. The family has owned the plane since 1980. Built in 1967, this "Ferrari of the skies" is a true oldtimer, in which Ralf Niebergall completed his pilot's training. He got his pilot's license in 1987. Since then he has put 1,400 hours of ying time under his belt, over 600 of them in aerobatics. He became familiar with the SINN brand while serving in the army. A hobby has turned into nine successful years of collaboration with the company. "With regard to SINN, I'm a true believer. The company manufactures pilots' watches that withstand enormous stresses and are absolutely reliable. Which is vitally important to me as a pilot", he explains. What sounds like a platitude has a concrete

background. Airplanes like the Marchetti have the shortcoming that their fuel tank indicators do not always function accurately. In order to calculate the fuel quantity and ight time, Niebergall used to rely on the pilot's chronograph Model 103 and the navigation cockpit chronograph Model NaBo 54. More recently, this task has been
accomplished with the aid of the duochronograph Model 757 UTC. "I know that these watches will never let me down. No other brand can compare to a SINN watch", says Ralf Niebergall of the indestructible functionality of the watches.

The 757 DIAPAL proves a reliable companion in Patagonia
CHRISTIAN MOSER
There is a place where you feel like if you were any closer to your Creator, you could shake hands. This is the poetic claim Chile uses to attract tourists to Patagonia, and it aptly describes the beauty and grandeur of the region. Patagonia is denitely off the beaten track indeed, for many it is the very epitome of remoteness and adventure. Perhaps that is why this part of the world, for which there are no xed geographic boundaries, seems so magical and irresistible. wrote of this tranquil, largely deserted place. What Borges meant with nothing is the sheer vastness, the seemingly endless space, the unceasing wind. The explorer Ferdinand Magellan went ashore in Santa Cruz, as the east coast is called, in 1520, and it was he who gave the region the name Patagonia. Because of their size, he called the native Tehuelche Indians patagones, a reference to a giant named Patagn in a chivalrous novel popular at the time. The wild and breathtakingly beautiful region of Patagonia has become home to 39-yearold Christian Moser, a native of Austria who emigrated to Chile in the year 2000. Stretching 4000 kilometers along the west coast of South America, Chile has several very diverse climatic zones. Moser, who claims to have an adventurer gene, lives in Puerto Natales. The city with 19,000 inhabitants serves as the base camp for excursions into the famous Torres del Paine National Park and for tours of Patagonia. The fact that the next closest town is 250 kilometers away gives an indication of how vast and remote this part of the world is. Moser joined the Austrian military when he was 19 and received special training as a paratrooper. One of his missions took him to Cyprus, where he served for ten months in 1990-91 as a member of the UN Rapid Reaction Force. After undergoing additional training programs including survival training, and after visiting many other countries, he came to Chile to work as a free-lance trekking and mountain guide. Of course, his passion for modern hiking and mountain climbing was instilled in his home country and honed through his military training. The decision to move to Chile was of his own volition. He had always had a fondness for South America, and the mountains, glaciers, lakes and forests of Patagonia convinced him to stay there. For nearly ten years now, Moser has been organizing and leading trekking and mountainclimbing tours for adventurous
Christian Moser: Organizer and leader of trekking and mountain-climbing tours.
Located at the southern tip of South America, Patagonia has two very different topographies. Western Patagonia, which belongs to Chile, is a mountainous area of stone and ice, with innumerable fjords and Pacic islands. The spectacular peaks of the Andes command respect as they tower in the sometimes gray, sometimes blue sky. The landscape seems surreal, bizarre, mysterious. Eastern Patagonia is larger and belongs to Argentina. You will nd nothing there. There is nothing in Patagonia., the Argentine poet Jorge Luis Borges

Europeans. The tours are very challenging, both physically and mentally, for their participants. Not only do they have to deal with boulders and heaps of rubble, they sometimes also have to get up in the middle of the night to go mountain climbing. There are also extreme temperature uctuations, particularly in northern Chile, along with steady winds of up to 140 kilometers per hour, paired with high-altitude sandstorms in the mountains. At elevations of more than 5500 meters, the air is thin: venturesome mountaineers have only 50 percent as much oxygen as they are normally accustomed to. For our mountain expeditions, optimal acclimatization and the use of state-of-the-art equipment are a matter of course, Moser says on his website, www.moseractive.cl. And of course, that state-of-the-art equipment also includes his watch. His constant companion since September 2009 is the 757 DIAPAL model.
Because he wears it over his sleeve, it is exposed to extreme weather conditions. A long-time fan of mechanical watches, Moser has been interested in robust timepieces he can rely on 100 percent since his days as a paratrooper. And he knows he can count on his 757 DIAPAL. His tours last several days and are organized with military precision. A reliable watch is indispensable for adhering to the strict schedule. Because we often have to climb mountains in the middle of the night, its essential for me to have a watch I can read easily in the dark. So the large luminous triangle on the bezel of the 757 is very helpful to me, Moser says. And the TEGIMENT and DIAPAL technologies have also proven themselves under the extremely difcult dayto-day conditions in Patagonia. Im extremely satised with my watch. It is perfect for tours in the wilderness, because in spite of the cold, the rocky boulders and the sand, it shows hardly
any signs of wear and tear, and still runs perfectly. Its resistant to abrasions, and its designed to be extremely functional, with no superuous frills. And although it may look a little clunky, it feels good on my arm. Moser offers an extreme example to demonstrate that the 757 DIAPAL leaves absolutely nothing to be desired in terms of precision, functionality and freedom from fogging: Once I left the watch out in the cold overnight. It was 25 degrees below zero, at an altitude of 4300 meters. Early the next morning I lowered on a rope into a geyser that was about 50 degrees hot. Even after this extreme temperature difference, the watch still worked. And thanks to its dehumidifying technology, it didnt even fog up. No wonder Christian Moser considers the 757 DIAPAL the best there is, thanks to its technological superiority and quality based on years of experience.

Germanischer Lloyd Certies SINN Diving Watches

So what does Germanischer Lloyd have to do with a watch manufacturer from Frankfurt am Main? The renowned company tests and certies our diving watches according to a variety of criteria: One test focuses on watertightness and pressure resistance, while a second test procedure covers something never done before in the watchmaking industry: certication in accordance with the European standards for diving equipment! The background: time plays a crucial role in survival on every dive. Diving watches must therefore be waterproof, reliable and durable, and guarantee perfect readability in all lighting and water conditions. The information we provide about our diving watches is thus not merely captured in words, but proven in practice as well. Testing for watertightness and pressure resistance Since 2005 Germanischer Lloyd has been testing our diving watches for watertightness and pressure resistance. In accordance with these certi cation standards, the U1 and the U1000 series are pressure-resistant to 100 bar, while the U2 and U200 series are pressure-resistant to 200 bar and the UX series is actually pressure-resistant to any accessible diving depth. For this series, Germanischer Lloyd has conrmed the pressure resistance of the case to 12,000 meters and of the movement to 5,000 meters diving depth. The tests are repeated at regular intervals on all of these models in order to document the consistency of the quality. Premiere: certication for compliance with European diving equipment standards In a standardized test situation, will a diving watch deliver the same reliable performance as, say, a breathing apparatus? To answer this question, we were the rst who have watches tested and ofcially certied according to the European standards for diving equipment. Also these tests are accomplished at regular intervals for all these models. The testing and certication according to the European standards EN 205 and EN 14143 was completely new territory for both sides. This was the case because the standards for diving equipment cannot be applied to watches without modication. The experts at Germanischer Lloyd thus adapted the standards appropriately and dened two series of tests. In the rst of the two, they put the
U 31 of the German Navy, a boat of the 212A class with fuel cell propulsion. Our U1, U2, U200, U1000 and UX diving watches are made of the same anti-magnetic steel.

timepieces in a test cabinet for three hours at 20 C, then for three more hours at +50 C. The timepieces were subsequently checked for accuracy and functional reliability at both temperatures. In a second test the watches had to withstand three hours at 30 C and 3 hours at +70 C with 95% humidity. The result: temperature resistance and perfect functionality were documented and certied for the watches in the U1, U1000, U2, U200 and EZM 3 series after both tests. The watches from the UX series were also certied, but due to their battery operation
and oil lling, they were subjected to a modied test involving temperatures between 20 C and +60 C. The shipping "TV" Germanischer Lloyd, based in Hamburg, is responsible for the technical safety of more than 5,700 ocean-going vessels. Its guidelines constitute a safety standard accepted worldwide for maritime shipping. Founded in 1867 In the 19th century, those who entrusted their goods to a ship or sailed on board as a crew member or passenger had to play it safe. Shipping magnates
and merchants didn't want to rely only on the good reputation of the shipbuilder or captain. After all, the technical quality of a ship was crucial even then. In 1867 various shipping company owners took the initiative and formed a committee to advise on issues of ship classications. Today, Germanischer Lloyd is one of the market leaders worldwide in the area of ship classication.
