Spotted this on Horomundi.com

I remember Driver8 mentioning the Sinn re-badges in the 70s and find it interesting that Sinn is picking it up again.


Below the thread regarding the 70s re-badges:

That's quite a handsome piece. The crown looks a little large after seeing Navis, but I personally think that's nicer looking than Breitling's offerings this year! :shock:

That's a very interesting story Soundman :shock: Funny how things work out.

That is a handsome piece although the Sinn looks a little strange on that dial. Mind you I do love the navitimer so that is hardly surprising :wink:

I'm curious to know what that Sinn complication is...anyone?

Thanks :D

According to the Sinn website the movement is a Lemania 1883. It also states the movement is no longer made which should make it more collectible.
Also, it's a limited edition of 300. And I really do like it.


Here's the website: (It's in German)

At $3-4k for a Sinn, it would be a sin :mrgreen:

I had this one for a while, really a nice piece. This is the one that Sinn apparently bought the rights to when Breitling went belly up for a while. Oh and I think I paid around $1300 for it used at the time. It was about half the price of a Navi.
