The brand's space-faring chronograph gets a new look

Sinn commemorates 65 years in business with the 140 A S Anniversary, a chronograph inspired by the brand’s spaceflight history. Limited to 300 pieces, the watch continues a model line that demonstrated the reliability of a mechanical automatic chronograph in zero gravity. The story goes back to 1985, when physicist and astronaut Reinhard Furrer wore a Sinn 140 S during the Spacelab D1 mission. Equipped with a Lemania 5100 movement, the watch operated under actual spaceflight conditions. The new 140 A S Anniversary builds on that legacy with Sinn’s SZ01 chronograph movement and several of the brand’s technical case technologies.

We had a chance to see and spend some time with the watch at the WatchTime fair in Düsseldorf last week. Here, the watch was being presented as one of the show’s highlights.
