The "U1" Series: Renowned for Strength and Water Resistance


Two new additions have arrived in the "U1" series, SINN's most popular dive watches. These are heavy-duty models featuring a black hard coating applied to steel used in submarines.

Guaranteed Water Resistance to 1000m


The "U1" series from German watch brand SINN is a dive watch model that boasts impressive specifications, including a 1000m water resistance rating, and features time, minute, second, and date displays.

The new "U1.S" and "U1.S.E" models feature a black hard coating applied to steel from Germany's latest state-of-the-art submarine, the U-boat.

This black hard coating is achieved by applying a black PVD coating over SINN's proprietary Tegiment technology (surface hardening), which not only changes the color but also provides exceptional scratch resistance.

Tegiment is a technology that hardens the steel's surface by diffusing and permeating carbon molecules through carburization using nitrogen, followed by quenching. This process achieves a surface hardness equal to or greater than ceramic, preventing scratches on the watch.

This treatment can be applied regardless of the case's finish, whether matte or polished. Furthermore, it prevents nickel from migrating to the surface, making it safe for individuals with nickel allergies.

Its appearance exudes a robust presence befitting its heavy-duty nature. The "U1.S.E" stands out with its stylish and chic ivory-colored hands and indices.

Both models have undergone pressure testing to 100 bar, based on European diving equipment standards EN205/EN14143, certified by DNV GL, one of the world's leading classification and certification bodies for maritime and offshore industries, confirming their 1000m water resistance.

We invite you to experience the technical prowess and innovative technology of SINN through the "U1" series.
