I am offering for sale my excellent condition (95%) Sinn 756 Flieger chronograph with tegimented case and bracelet… this iconic watch from Sinn is 2 years old (papers from Watchbuys dated 1/07) and was worn gently in rotation with several other watches… with the great Sinn tegimentation process the watch is in amazing overall condition with no dings, dents or scratches to speak of (other than a small scratch on the caseback which is not tegimented)
The watch runs great (within COSC specs) and all links are included with the bracelet...
Here are some details from the Watchbuys site…
Automatic winding chronograph
• Case diameter (mm): 40.0
• Case thickness (mm): 15.0
• Case metal: Stainless steel
• Case back: Solid
• Tegimented: Fully
• Winding: Automatic
• Antimagnetic: 80,000 A/m
• Copper sulphate: Capsule
The Sinn 756 features "Tegiment" technology. Standard steel used by most watch companies has a hardness of between 200 and 240 HV (Hardness Vickers is a common scale used to measure material hardness). The Tegiment layer has a hardness of 1,200 Vickers which is five times harder than standard steel.
The Tegiment layer is not a coating consisting of a foreign material, instead the steel itself that has been hardened using a special engineering process that creates a hardened barrier. The base material is a type of stainless steel also used for surgical implants, and the stainless steel resistance to corrosion is even further improved by the Tegiment hardening process.
Next, this case offers magnetic field protection of up to 80,000 A/m, among the highest for any mechanical watch.
The case features a copper sulphate capsule which reacts with moisture to diffuse and absorb humidity in the watch.
Sand-blasted stainless steel case with solid back and tegiment steel bracelet. Dial is matte black with Arabic numerals and offset date display at 4. The design and layout of this watch make it extremely easy to read in virtually all light conditions.
Sapphire crystal with luminous hands and hour markers. Watch is water resistant to 20 ATM.
The price for a new one is now $2200…
I am offering this great chronograph for $1500 shipped in the USA…
