Sinn 103 St Classic C

On the one hand, an eye-catching dial contrast, a matt black anodised, unusual aluminium rotating bezel and a highly domed shock-resistant acrylic glass. On the other hand, technical features such as low pressure resistance, water resistance and pressure resistance up to 20 bar: the 103 St Classic C model effortlessly balances historical design with contemporary technical values.

This special edition, which is limited to 200 pieces, has become a true favourite, thanks primarily to its appearance. Experts classify timepieces such as the 103 St Classic C, which combine black totalizers with a bright – in this case silver-electroplated – dial, as “Panda watches”. The models from the middle of the last century achieved a cult-like status among many watch lovers - also because their striking contrast was entirely in the service of optimised readability.

In terms of construction, the 103 St Classic C achieves this with the symmetrical Tri-Compax division of the totalizers for the subsidiary seconds at nine o’clock, the stopwatch minute at three o’clock and the stopwatch hour at six o’clock. Another important tool for measuring time intervals is the 12-hour countdown rotating bezel with luminous key mark, which rotates in both directions.

Speaking of luminescence: for clear readability, even in the dark, the rhodium-plated indices and hour and minute hands are also filled with luminous paint.

A brown horsehide strap with a pin buckle deliberately contrasts the vintage design of the dial in colour and thus completes the iconographic overall appearance of this unique watch.

Please be aware that this watch watch is available in Europe only (excl. Switzerland) and to be ordered via Ebner-publishing.
