====== Sinn 900 ====== {{wst>image_cr|Sinn|900}} The **900** is an [[automatic chronograph]] by [[Sinn]] produced since [[2004]]. It was initially marketed as a [[field watch]] but transformed into a [[pilot's watch]] by [[2011]]. ===== Overview ===== The expedition watch model 900, beneath a [[second timezone]], presents many time-based units on the smallest space. Seen from the outside to the inside, the following data can be read or set * By the 24-hour scale and the yellow [[UTC]] hands the day and night hours of a day. * By the [[UTC]] hands in conjunction with the ordinary hours hand and the sun the north direction can be determined. * The pilot's [[bezel]] - bidirectional rotating via the crown at 10 o'clock - allows direct, minute-precise reading of time intervals up to one hour. Average speeds between 65 and 600 km/h can be displayed with the help of a universal hour scale with base 1. This scale also allows to convert any units to their average per hour, for example the piece numbers of a production process. * Units per minute like pulse or respiratory rate are measured with an analog designed scale with a base 15. The average value per minute can be read directly, when the time for 15 strokes, breaths or any other countable size is stopped. * The red telemeter scale measures the distance of a sound source from ones own site, for example, the distance of a thunderstorm area, using the time difference between lightning and thunder. * At stop-minutes and hours counter, on the basis of an average walking pace of 5 km/h, traveled distances up to 60 km can be read. To make the **Sinn 900** an adequate companion for auto testers and tour friends, Sinn engineers have engraved on the caseback the tire/speed indices and the most important conversion scales for European and American units, such as liters/100 km in miles/gallon. In [[2009]], Sinn introduced the **900 Pilot**, a variant on the 900 with an inner [[pilot's watch]] [[bezel]] using a crown at 10 00. The solid caseback on the Pilot features an English/metric conversion chart. The Pilot model has magnetic resistance to 80,000 A/m. All non-pilot versions were retired by [[2011]], shortly after a [[PVD]]-coated "Pilot S" was added. A [[DIAPAL]] version was added in [[2013]] with the same pilot's watch bezel. ===== References ===== * [[Sinn 900 Hummer]] (2010) * Sinn 900 (2004-2011) - Multifunction inner bezel and dial, [[TEGIMENT]] case * Sinn 900 Pilot (2009-present) - Pilot's inner bezel, applied markers, [[TEGIMENT]] case * Sinn 900 Pilot S (2010-present) - Pilot's inner bezel, applied markers, black coated [[TEGIMENT]] case * Sinn 900 DIAPAL (2013-present) - [[DIAPAL]] movement, date only, [[TEGIMENT]] case, anthracite dial **Movement:** * Mechanical [[chronograph]] movement [[Valjoux 7750]] with [[UTC]] 24h module, 28,800 A/h * [[Automatic]] * [[Nivarox]]-1 [[hairspring]], [[Glucydur]] [[balance wheel]], Beryllium plateau * [[Mainspring]] Nivaflex 1, [[Incabloc]] [[shock protection]] * [[Shock proof]] according to DIN 8308 * [[Antimagnetic]] according to DIN 8309 **Case:** * [[Stainless steel]], DIN material no. 1.4435, tegimented to 1200 HV (surface hardness in Vickers), [[satin-finished]] * D 44 mm, H 15.5 mm * [[Sapphire crystal]] * Integrated [[magnetic field protection]] up to 80.000 A/m (or 100 mT) * Screw-in [[stainless steel]] caseback.
