For sale is my exceptional condition Sinn 143. I really like this watch, but I rarely wear it. I need to move some pieces out, so this is now boxed up and hopefully I won't regret it later. Hopefully.

The 143 is from the 1980's and is not, as some might think, a military watch. I visited Sinn recently and showed my 143 to Herr Simone, one of the oldest remaining workers there. He happened to start working at Sinn when the 143 came out, so he knows the model well. He noted mine is one of two versions: One has an all-black dial, the other has blue and red portions in the outer chrono band. Herr Simone noted that Sinn was trying out new case designs at that time; he also noted that mine is one of the best examples of a 143 he has seen in years.

The Sinn 143 is unique in having an aluminum case. It is very light. It measures 39mm across (without crown), 44mm lug-to-lug, and 15mm thick.

Inside is the venerable Lemania 5100, here in two-subdial form. The movement has not been serviced but, because it is in near-mint condition, it keeps time extremely well. The previous owner said he had it checked and the amplitude was very strong.

It comes with the original box (missing the inner mount thing), the original crystal, world-timer bezel, and a Sinn rally strap. It is mounted on a regular-length Di-Modell Chronissimo strap.
