====== Sinn 6068 Frankfurt Financial District Watch ======
The **Model 6068 [[Sinn Frankfurt Financial District|Frankfurt Financial District Watch]]** is an [[automatic]] watch from [[Sinn]] produced since [[2015]] and is the tenth model in the [[Sinn Frankfurt Financial District]] line. It is the first smaller model introduced since [[2005]]'s [[Sinn 6066|Model 6066]] and the least-[[complicated]] model since the [[Sinn 6033|Model 6033]], lacking the [[GMT]] hand the "Frankfurter" line is known for.

===== Overview =====
In [[1999]], [[Sinn]] added [[Sinn 6000|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 the [[GMT|four handed]] [[Sinn 6060|Model 6060]] late in [[2001]]. Both watches have an independently adjustable hand for a second timezone with an internal rotating bezel for a third. This **Model 6068** joined the lineup at [[Baselworld]] in [[2015]].

A curiosity in a family of watches known for their [[GMT]] hand, Model 6068 retains the movable bezel but lacks the extra hour hand. This makes it a [[dual timezone]] watch with a simple 3-handed movement. This is similar to the small [[Sinn 6033|Model 6033]], though the looks of this watch are closer to the rest of the family. 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 6068 is equipped with the [[Sellita]] [[SW 300-1]] movement, with the date window moved to 4 30 as on the familiar [[Sinn 6060|Model 6060]]. The movement, visible through a sapphire [[display caseback]], features a "bull and bear" motif.

Note that this watch is officially called simply "Frankfurter Finanzplatzuhr" ("Frankfurt Financial District Watch") with no mention of "Dual Time". But it is frequently referred to as the "Frankfurt Dual Time Watch".
