Germany's "Sinn" is a watch brand that attracts many men with its toughness and unique special performance. Let's take a closer look at the attractiveness of Jin, who brings mechanical watches that transcend preconceived notions to the world, and the recommended models.
Sinn is a special watch that Germany is proud of
In order to create a watch that you can use for a lifetime and that you can spend your life with, we have to thoroughly pursue the required functions and excel in creating them at a high level. technology is required.
Sinn is a watch brand that never disappoints when it comes to quality.
Let's delve into the background of Jin, who is often described as austere and rugged and trusted by hard-working professionals.
"156.B" can be said to be the origin of gin chronograph.Sinn was founded in Germany in 1961. The founder, Helmut Sinn, was a Luftwaffe pilot during the Pacific War.
From that experience, I deeply understood that the most necessary watch for a pilot is a measuring instrument with unparalleled accuracy. Jin embarked on the production of aviation watches in order to embody its importance.
Lothar Schmidt, owner since 1994. It is none other than Mr. Schmidt who created a number of unique technologies that are now called gin technology.And with professional specifications in mind, we boldly challenge ourselves to develop a watch that looks like an aircraft. The "156.B", which was completed early, has high accuracy that can withstand harsh flight environments, and was also adopted by the Luftwaffe.
Germany is known as a country that boasts high technological capabilities in the machinery industry. Jin also has a reputation for its outstanding development capabilities, and has been active in German customs special forces, police special forces, and rescue units.
The greatest feature of gin is its outstanding simplicity, which is achieved through the pursuit of functionality. The exterior gives the impression of being inorganic, but you can feel the ultimate realism from there.
Jin's watches, which are timeless and functional, stand out from other manufacturers' watches.
It is supported by watch fans who find romance in its appearance that pursues functionality to the point of being a watch for professionals, and users who place great trust in their firm beliefs. there is.
Special technology that supports Jin's popularity
Jin actively develops its own technology and boasts outstanding accuracy even among watches for professional use. Highly rated by the family. Let's talk about the special technology that supports its popularity.
The one on the left is the one with special oil, and the one on the right is without it. The special oil not only increases the internal pressure, but also maintains visibility underwater because it has almost the same refractive index as glass.Diver's watches require pressure resistance. In many cases, this is done by making the case thicker, but Jin uses a method of injecting a special oil into the case.
By using a hydro system that applies Pascal's principle, it pushes back with the same internal pressure as the external pressure applied. Therefore, we achieved 5000m water resistance without making the case thicker.
In addition, with TEGIMENT, we have achieved scratch resistance with a hardness equal to or greater than that of ceramics. This is a technology that hardens the watch case by carburizing it using nitrogen.
In addition, black PVD coatings are now always combined with TEGIMENT (black hard coating). By applying a coating to the hardened surface, it leads to peeling of the colored layer and reduction of abrasion.
A dry capsule filled with a special desiccant removes moisture from the watch case.A movement made up of many parts requires lubricating oil to keep each part running smoothly. On the other hand, the deterioration of the oil due to moisture and water vapor can also cause problems.
For this reason, Gin has taken thorough measures against moisture with the "Ar Dry Technology", which consists of three technical elements: installing a dry capsule, using EDR packing, and filling with protective gas. .
Sinn's special oil maintains the time accuracy specified by DIN (German Industrial Standard) even at -45°C, when the case is covered with frost.Also, the lubricating oil used is also special. Ordinary oil becomes more viscous when the temperature drops to -25°C, making it difficult to maintain the accuracy of the clock.
However, the special oil "66-228" developed by Jin maintains its viscosity down to -66°C and does not evaporate up to +228°C, so it can keep accurate time anywhere from extreme cold to scorching heat. continue.
