Sinn - T50 Goldbronze

German watchmaker Sinn released the new T50 Goldbronze, a limited edition of just 300 pieces made in Goldbronze 125. Price € 4,980

German watchmaker Sinn has a remarkable experience in the development and use of advanced materials. The latest demonstration of its expertise in the field of metallurgy is the new T50 Goldbronze, a limited edition of just 300 pieces.

For this timepiece, the brand developed a special patent pending bronze alloy that is composed by bronze (87.5%) and gold (12.5%). Referred to as Goldbronze 125, this material has an exceptionally high degree of purity for improved skin compatibility and increased corrosion resistance to seawater compared to conventional bronze alloys. 

As typical of bronze watches, also the 41 mm x 12.3 mm case of the T50 Goldbronze darkens due to oxidation, developing a patina like bronze watch cases but this happens much more slowly than with ordinary bronze. Moreover, the darkening can be easily removed using the special gold bronze care cloth delivered with the watch.

The screwed-down crown is located at 4 o’clock to prevent pressure on the back of the hand. The case back is made of titanium for optimal wearing comfort. Water resistance is guaranteed up to a pressure of 50 bar (approximately corresponding to 500 metres / 1,660 feet)

The robust diver’s bezel features the Captive Safety System against accidental twisting: it requires that the user pushes down the bezel before starting to turn it in order to time the dive. Finally, the Ar-Dehumidifying Technology ensures greater functional reliability and freedom from fogging.

The unusual-looking dial of the T50 Goldbronze is beautifully coordinated with the gold bronze appearance thanks to an irregular decorative grinding. 

For improved readability in darker environments, the hour hands and indices on the dial glow in green while the minute and second hands and the main marking on the rotating bezel are bluish. 

Inside, the self-winding Sellita SW 300-1 beats at 28,800 vibrations per hour with a power reserve of 42 hours. The movement is shock-resistant, antimagnetic and features a seconds stop function.

Matched to a robust fabric strap, the Sinn T50 Goldbronze Ref. 1052.061 has a price of Euro 4,980. 

Sinn also released the T50 in titanium with a bezel hardened using their TEGIMENT Technology, which makes surfaces particularly scratch-resistant, and the T50 GBDR, also in titanium but with a bezel made of Goldbronze 125. Both feature a matte black dial. For these models, prices start from Euro 2,990 and Euro 3,750, respectively. sinn.de
