Special Limited Edition for the town of Neunkirchen / Saar - Model 6068 NK

 

A new Sinn watch, the model 6068 NK – paying homage to the birthplace of engineer Lothar Schmidt, owner of Sinn – in the city of Neunkirechen in Saarland, Germany.
 
 
 


In the presence of the Mayor of Neunkirchen, Jürgen Fried, and 120 invited guests, Sinn Spezialuhren zu Frankfurt am Main presented its special limited edition for the city of Neunkirchen on 1 October in the “Neuen Gebläsehalle”.
 
The model 6068 NK, made of polished stainless steel, symbolises the special relationship that exists between the company and the city in Saarland, the birthplace of engineer Lothar Schmidt, owner of Sinn Spezialuhren.
It is the affinity to his home town which Lothar Schmidt wanted to express through this high-quality mechanical watch. To emphasise this, the watch, which is limited to 200 units, has a number of special features.
The Neunkirchen coat of arms is imprinted on the transparent back, which is made of anti-reflective sapphire crystal glass. The transparent case back beautifully shows off the exquisitely decorated movement, which has engravings of the limited edition number and the Sinn logo on the rotor. The watch itself has a diameter of 38.5 mm and can display two time zones on a 12-hour basis. It is waterproof up to 100 m (= 10 bar) and is resistant to low pressure.
Lothar Schmidt personally presented the model 6068 NK at a grand event in the Neuen Gebläsehalle. Guests then had the opportunity to admire the watch and obtain one of the limited-edition models.

The Professional Pilot Watch - 857 UTC TESTAF LH Cargo


857 UTC TESTAF LH Cargo
The Professional Pilot Watch

Reaching to the skies – that is the mantra of Sinn’s newest pilot watch, the 857 UTC TESTAF LH Cargo.

A special collaboration between Sinn and Lufthansa Cargo; the 857 UTC TESTAF LH Cargo is inspired by the Boeing 777F aircraft, making it the perfect high-performance time instrument because pilots need absolute reliability and the utmost precision – values which this watch possesses.
This instrumental watch was tested and certified in accordance with the technical standard for pilot watches (Technischer Standard Fliegeruhren – TESTAF). This ensures that it is qualified for professional use as a pilot watch to the highest level.
 
In 2014, 777 units of the 857 UTC TESTAF LH Cargo are being produced, each with an engraved limited-edition number on the case back.  Limited edition of 777 units worldwide.
 
 

The pilot watch comes with a striking orange coloured
 watch box – reminiscent of an aircraft toolbox
 kit, replete with a Lufthansa Cargo aircraft model.
