  • I was keen to get hands on with this latest release from Sinn the 903ST II
    Not many people know the backstory regarding this watches origins.
    I share my thoughts on this model and hopefully shed some light for those who are not in the know...

    You missed some important parts, the Sinn is hand assembled and they calibrate with the movement in the case. It’s not Cosc but Cosc is just a marketing tool for Swiss watch makers.
    Servicing at Sinn is far cheaper than the Breitling and you get any replaced parts back unlike Breitling. They also over refurbishing which is really reasonable.
    Sinn is a enthusiasts watch brand

    Sinn seems to be a brand that most reviewers will happily skip no matter how technology-advanced they design/develop/produce their watches. The 903 is great. I myself have my 8th Sinn right now.

      Jokes aside, i believe Sinn don't make that much of watches. So having 8 is .... almost like you buy every SKU of them.

    Bought the Sinn last year, as a previous Navitimer owner the Sinn is definitely a better watch to wear and live with.

  • @typebflieger
    @typebflieger 16 วันที่ผ่านมา +72

    I don’t consider the Sinn a copy at all because it literally has the rights to it. This is a Sinn Navitimer. Over the years, both the Breitling and Sinn Navitimers have evolved independently to take on the core attributes of each brand. Sinn is more rugged and-do-it-all, while Breitling is dressier and more fragile, strictly a luxury interpretation. Yet, the aesthetics are still unmistakably similar. Personally, I love the story of the Navitimer, and Sinn is an offshoot of (and runs parallel to) that story. Any history lesson on the Navi should always include Sinn as they were a key player in helping Breitling survive the quartz crisis. Sinn has certainly earned its place in Navitimer lore.

    I think this is a really great value. You get a lot for the money. The story of how Sinn (and also Ollech and Wajs) bought the rights and some of the cases and tooling for the watches when the original Breitling company got into difficulties in the 1970s is pretty interesting. I have an Ollech and Wajs "Navitimer" that looks a lot like an old Navitimer. It's one of my favorite watches. I'd seriously consider this new and improved Sinn model.

    As a Breitling Navitimer owner, I was about to suggest that you, perhaps, had been smoking something illegal. However, the arguments you make regarding water resistance, etc., are the same reasons that I don't wear my Navitimer full time. Thanks for a most interesting video.

      The Breitling is minimum double overpriced. Same Movement as the Tudor BB Chrono, but the Tudor costs nearly the half. So the the price of the Breitling is only made by Marketing.

    To those who don't "get" the design...
    As a former military pilot the E6B "flight confuser" wheel is a thing. The fact I know how to use it is pretty cool.
    It's just as much an aviation watch to a pilot as a dive watch is to a diver.

    I wish more people gave Sinn a try. Incredible brand. The Breitling Navitimer is actually the watch that brought me into this hobby, 20 years ago. No, I couldn't afford one--used to look at them in the shop with my dad, whose favorite watch was the Navitimer. Breitling pricing these days is eye-watering. I consider the Sinn a viable alternative with its own "soul" and every right to use the styling, given the history there.

    Amazing watch. I have an older Sinn 903 and have always believed it is the value proposition over the Breitling. Sinn did an amazing job with the recent release of the 903ST. So many folks commented when the 903 went missing from Sinn's catalogue. So glad to see they have brought it back better than ever. The other watch brand that also bought rights to the Naivitimer design was Ollech and Wajs. Thanks for the review, Peter.

Also this is the 2nd watch I've seen with an applied logo released recently. Very exciting!

    My only gripe with it (as it was with my Sinn 104) is the lack of drilled lugs, and when they are polished and undrilled it's a dealbreaker, because I like swapping straps out.

    Hi Peter, nice review. Lately I've been paying some attention to Sinn and maybe getting one sooner rather than later. Since you mentioned Fabio, I also wanna give him a shout out, truly an amazing guy. I just bought a watch from his company, @timeonly. And you are correct, he does ship world wide, as in my case. I'm in Canada.
    The watch I bought was Muhle-Glashutte S.A.R. Rescue-Time Edition 1994 (black & blue special edition). It's still on the way but I'm sure I'll be happy with the purchase. So one more time, shout out to FABIO and TIME ONLY, amazing guy, comprehensive watch selection, not to mention very good pricing 😊

    This video is special for me. Because I own Sinn 903 for 5y, it just has been serviced and I had to wait 3months to get it back. Only then I realised how much I like the watch and missed it. I bought it cause I admired Navitimer eversince I saw some pics of John Travolta wearing it as a pilot in early 90s. I thought I'd never be able to afford it and then I found Sinn and my problem was solved. Dream came true. I absolutely understand your passion.

    Sinn make good honest watches. In this case, literally ( case ) it doesn’t make sense to have such a THICC pilot style watch. 100m W/R and a much thinner case would have been preferable. As it is, it’s too confused and over proportioned. Its saving grace is the price……. Great reviews Pete and keep up the great reviews and presentations for all of us to enjoy. Bravo !

I seem to recall he paid something like US$8.000 with a leather strap but bought the bracelet some months later. The bracelet makes this watch pop and is definitely the right decision. I too have read about the sale to Sinn of the rights to produce this piece. Greetings from Perth.

    I had the previous 903 from Sinn and a Navitimer years after. Sold both and I only regret the Sinn sometimes. You get more shine with polished hands on the Navitimer and that's all. This change from Sinn wasn't necessary in my opinion but it's an achievement to have 200wr, by a clever bezel mechanism and also a screw down crown. You mention swimming with it ; while it looks silly to do that, the simple fact that I don't have to remove my watch If i'm giving my kid a bath or washing something with the Sinn is enough.
    Also important to note that the logarithmic scale of the Sinn is complete while the one on the latest Navitimer has been made simpler, which detracts from its purpose. The Sinn is much closer to the old Navitimers.
    Thanks for your video and close ups. From the website it looks like the black dial is sunburst while on close ups, it isn't. Can you confirm sunburst treatment ?
    I'm really considering adding a new 903 now ... :)
    2 wishes :
    - a date wheel closer to the dial
    - a close caseback as i don't give a F* to the see through case back

Most of automatic chronographs are too thick, it is not very elegant on a wrist to my eyes. Thanks for the review and for the explanations about that specific model 👋

    Fine vid Pete! I have a question: I also want a VJ 7750 in regular layout: Day/Date @ 03:00. I am wearing my TH-20-00 in my 39 mm TAG Carrera (blue, date at 06:00 MSRP $6750.00 USD) so I am familiar with well made chronographs, with or without column wheel architecture. Do you have a sub $5K USD suggestion for finding a 7750 in a well respected brand (Rolex, IWC, JLC, PATEK, etc. not included…..too spendy. ) that IS NOT a pizza plate on wrist? Sub 39 mm would be great. Thanks for your usual, high quality vid!

    Even though it is not a head to head but I would highly appreciate if you could emphasize little bit on the crystal clarity. I am sure you are well aware about Brietling crystal clarity. I am somehow convinced apart from the 0.9mm taller considering the price and 200 m WR.

    • @PeterKotsa
      @PeterKotsa  15 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      Yes the Brietling has got exceptional clarity on the Sapphire and in comparing the two, to my eyes this Sinn looks to be on par. The ar coatings are invisible and the detail I can see in the dial is crystal clear...pun intended 😊😂

    Breitling fanboy here... but no hate on the Sinn. I personally would have a hard time getting this over the Navitimer just because of that. However, good is good. And from what I've seen, Sinn is good. I can totally understand how someone who isn't as obsessed with Breitling as I am could easily grab this instead and pocket the difference in price with a smile on their face.

    I have a blue dial Breitling Navitimer ref A23322, which has a 7750 inside; so it predates the inhouse B01 movement. That particular watch has a vintagey feel to it and I love it to bits. I love Navitimers and I don't mind having more than one to make a Navi subcollection.
    I plan to get a Sinn 903 at some point, but I would very much love to get a different colourway than the current offerings. I know that will take a while, but I'm nothing if not patient. I'd love them to do an all black variant (which is a colourway they had in the past); so black dial, black bezel and subdials, contrasting white handset.

    So did Breitling originally deign the watch? Then fell into the quartz demon hole and when Sinn bailed them out bought the rights? What does "purchase the rights" entail? I guess that's my question.

    • @PeterKotsa
      @PeterKotsa  15 วันที่ผ่านมา

      As the original designer of a watch, if someone copies the design then you can sue. If however you sell that copyright to a company, then they are legally able to produce the exact same design without any ramifications
      Sinn also purchased quite a few dials and watch cases from Breitling back then.

      @@PeterKotsa So Breitling did design the watches then found themselves in financial dire straights then proceeded to hold a fire sale for their designs and some dials? Sounds like Sinn capitalized on a familiar situation during the quartz crisis(as you mentioned), which is smart, but not very creative. I do like a lot of Sinn watches and their original designs(especially their limited edition chronos), but I think you're giving them a bit too much credit creatively imo. Now financially it's very smart, but most will still gravitate towards the Navitimer whether it's a poor decision or not....because of brand recognition imo. Solid vid btw.
