====== Sinn 6060 Frankfurt World Time Watch ====== {{wst>image_cr|Sinn|6060|Sinn 6060 World Timer}} The **Model 6060 [[Sinn Frankfurt Financial District|Frankfurt]] World Time Watch** is an [[automatic]] [[world time|triple time zone]] watch from [[Sinn]] produced since [[2001]].It is the second model in the [[Sinn Frankfurt Financial District]] line and the first non-[[chronograph]] model. ===== Overview ===== In [[1999]], [[Sinn]] added a model to celebrate the company's home city of Frankfurt and to appeal to the business and finance professionals there. The Frankfurt Financial District Watch was designed to reflect the sensibilities of the German businessman, with clean utilitarian lines, a restrained black dial, and stainless steel case. And, reflecting the international appeal of Frankfurt, the Frankfurt Financial District Watch was designed to show the time in multiple timezones. The company suggested that it could keep track of the time in New York and Tokyo, two other major stock exchanges, while showing the local time in Frankfurt. The original [[Sinn 6000|Model 6000 Frankfurt Financial District Watch]] was an [[automatic chronograph]] but the company added this **Model 6060** late in [[2001]]. Like the original, it has an independently adjustable hand for a second timezone. The third timezone is read using the internal rotating bezel. Unlike the Model 6000, however, the central hour hand uses a [[24-hour]] scale rather than a 12-hour. Apart from the lack of chronograph registers and pushers and the added 24 hour track, the watch looks much like the original. It features a simple and modern 38.5 mm case, a black dial with white markers, and a rotating inner bezel marked 1 to 12. An additional [[crown]] at 10 00 operates the bezel, as on most "Frankfurter" watches. Model 6060 is equipped with the [[ETA 2893]] movement, with the date window moved to 4 30 to blend in with the 24 hour track. The movement is visible through a sapphire [[display caseback]]. The movement was upgraded to the [[ETA 2893-2]] in [[2004]]. The rotor features a "bull and bear" motif rather than the Frankfurt skyline. A limited edition of 150 **Model 6060 M** watches was produced in [[2013]]. These had a brown sunburst dial and bezel but were otherwise similar to the regular model. Sinn created a simpler [[dual timezone]] version of this watch, [[Sinn 6068|Model 6068]], in [[2015]]. In [[2014]], Sinn had created [[Sinn 6099|an upsized version]] of the original [[Sinn 6000|Model 6000]], but it wasn't until [[2017]] that the company introduced the 41.5 mm version of this watch, [[Sinn 6096|Model 6096]]. All three models remain in the Sinn catalog [[as of 2019]]. Note that both models are officially called "Frankfurter Weltzeituhr" ("Frankfurt World Time Watch"), not "Frankfurter Finanzplatz Weltzeituhr" ("Frankfurt Financial District World Time Watch"). Nearly every other watch in [[Sinn Frankfurt Financial District|this series]] uses the "Finanzplatz" ("Financial District") nomenclature. ===== See Also ===== * [[Sinn Frankfurt Financial District]] * [[Sinn 6000]], the original chronograph * [[Sinn 6068]], the dual timezone version * [[Sinn 6096]], the 41.5 mm version ===== References ===== * Sinn 6060 (2001-present) - [[Stainless steel]] case, black dial and bezel * Sinn 6060 M (2013) - [[Stainless steel]] case, brown dial and bezel, limited edition of 150 pieces **Movement:** * [[Self-winding]] [[GMT]] movement [[ETA 2893]], 28,800 A/h * On the [[rotor]] "bull and bear" motif is engraved by hand * [[Antimagnetic]] according to [[DIN 8309]] **Case:** * [[Stainless steel]] case * Ø 38.5 mm, H 12 mm * [[Sapphire crystal]], [[antireflective]] on both sides * Caseback screwed, with [[sapphire crystal]], [[antireflective]] inside * [[Waterproof]] to 10 bar * Safe below atmospheric pressure **Dial:** * Black galvanised dial, with [[solar grinding]] * [[Rhodinated]]e appliques coated with white [[luminous]] colour * Hours- and minutes hand [[skeletonized]], coated with [[luminous]] colour * Central [[hacking seconds]] hand, [[UTC]] hands [[rhodinated]] **Functions:** * Hours, minutes, [[hacking]] [[central seconds]] * [[GMT]] hour hand central * Inner bezel with third time-zone * [[Date window]] at 4 30 **Bracelet:** * 2 wristbands calf leather strap and solid metal bracelet **Accessoires:** * Wooden case with watchband replacement tool kit, spare spring bars, Eschenbach watchmaker's loupe, cleaning cloth and Frankfurt Finance District booklet **Price:** * 1.590,- EUR (2/2008) **Warranty: ** * 2 years **Production:** * Production [[2001]]-Present * Successor [[Sinn 6068]], [[Sinn 6096]] {{tag>Watch_models Worldtimer_watches Sinn_Frankfurt_Financial_District_models}}
