====== Sinn 6096 Frankfurt World Time Watch ====== The **Model 6096 [[Sinn Frankfurt Financial District|Frankfurt]] World Time Watch** is an [[automatic]] [[GMT]] watch from [[Sinn]] produced since [[2018]] and is the eleventh model in the [[Sinn Frankfurt Financial District]] line. It replaced the [[Sinn 6090|Model 6090 "Large Date" model]]. ===== 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. The line was "up-sized" starting with the [[Sinn 6090|Model 6090 Large Date]] model in [[2012]] with a new 41.5 mm case. But the classic [[GMT|four-handed]] [[Sinn 6060|Model 6060]] remained at 38.5 mm for over 15 years. After the [[Sinn 6090|Model 6090 Big Date]] was retired in [[2016]], Sinn took two more years to introduce a larger variant of the venerable [[Sinn 6060|Model 6060]]. Finally, in [[2018]], this Model 6096 appeared. Apart from the larger case, Model 6090 is nearly identical to Model 6060. The only visible difference is a framed [[date window]] at 6 00 instead of hidden in the 24 hour scale at 4 30. Like later versions of Model 6060, Model 6096 is equipped with the [[ETA 2893-2]] movement. Visible through a sapphire [[display caseback]], it features a "bull and bear" motif engraved on the [[rotor]]. ===== See Also ===== * [[Sinn Frankfurt Financial District]] * [[Sinn 6000]], the original chronograph * [[Sinn 6060]], the 38.5 mm world time watch * [[Sinn 6090]], the 41.5 mm big date watch ===== References ===== * Sinn 6096 (2018-present) - [[Stainless steel]] case, black dial and bezel **Movement:** * [[Self-winding]] movement [[ETA 2893-2]] [[GMT]], 28,800 A/h * On the [[rotor]] "bull and bear" motif is engraved by hand * [[Antimagnetic]] according to [[DIN 8309]] * [[Waterproof]] according to [[DIN 8310]] **Case:** * [[Stainless steel]] case * Ø 41.5 mm, H 10.1 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 sunburst pattern * [[Rhodinated]]e appliques coated with white [[luminous]] colour * Hours- and minutes hand [[skeletonized]], coated with [[luminous]] colour * Central [[hacking seconds]] hand [[rhodinated]] **Functions:** * Hours, minutes, [[hacking]] [[central seconds]] * [[GMT]] hand * Inner bezel with third time-zone * [[Date window]] at 6 00 **Bracelet:** * 2 wristbands calf leather strap and solid metal bracelet **Warranty: ** * 2 years **Production:** * Production [[2018]]-Present * Predecessor [[Sinn 6090]] {{tag>Watch_models Sinn_Frankfurt_Financial_District_models}}
