6000 Financial District Watch is a wristwatch by Sinn.
This chronograph with a total of three time zones is dedicated to the Hessian metropolis of Frankfurt and its financial center—see also the “Frankfurt am Main” inscription directly below the Sinn logo, which appears on a Sinn watch for the first time. In addition to Frankfurt’s financial center, the local times of the New York and Tokyo stock exchanges, for example, can be set and read simultaneously.
Since its launch in 1999, this watch has become a classic, and its success is evidenced by the release of additional—in some cases limited-edition—successor models in the “Financial District Watch” series. The anniversary edition of the Frankfurt Financial District Watch was awarded the Golden Balance Wheel in 2006 in the “Watches up to 10,000 EUR” category.
