Sinn EZM 13 Watch Hands-On

While both concept and also the term "tool watch" continues to be watered-lower through consistent overuse, the thought of something watch is a which has always intrigued me. In my opinion, couple of brands better define the watermark for tool watches than Sinn. The German manufacturer continues to be making role-specific tool-style watches for many years, from pilot's watches such as the 144 ST to cult-hit watches for diving such as the formidable U1. Among Sinn's Baselworld 2014 additions, the best was easily the brand new Sinn EZM 13 diving chronograph. By having an accessible situation size along with a mission-timer platform, this straightforward but highly functional chronograph is a superb illustration of the current tool watch.

The Sinn EZM 13's bead-blasted steel situation is 41.5 mm wide and 15 mm thick having a lefty control layout, a unidirectional dive bezel, and the selection of an identical bracelet, leather, or silicone strap. Becoming an evolution from the EZM 3's design, the Sinn EZM 13 is pure function and offers unencumbered legibility from the primary time display and also the 60-minute chronograph. There's additionally a awesome red-colored date display hidden away at 4:30.

 
Things I found so appealing concerning the Sinn EZM 13 isn't just its cozy size and focused design, but additionally its entirely hardcore character. The Sinn EZM 13 isn't any lightweight, boasting anti-magnetic potential to deal with DIN 8309 (80K A/m), anti-shock to DIN 8308, low pressure resistance, Sinn's Ar dehumidifying system, temperature resistance for -45 C to  80 C and 500 meters water proofing. Talking about water proofing, a fundamental 500M pass wasn't enough for Sinn, because they have experienced the EZM 13 individually examined and licensed to German diving equipment standards EN 250/EN14143 and Din 8306 by DNV GL (click for more information). Clearly, Sinn's not playing around.


Time, chronograph, and date are handled with a Sinn-personalized ETA 7750, that they call the SZ02. The SZ02 has 25 jewels and beats at 28,800 vph having a 60-minute chronograph. The chronograph is read using a full one hour sub dial at six, which layout adjusts as to the Sinn calls a "mission timer," or perhaps a watch having a very specific purpose and powerful legibility. Seem familiar?


The Sinn EZM 13 grows on the prosperity of the EZM 1, that was Sinn's first mission timer. Being an extension of the philosophy for that EZM 13, Sinn decided on a lefty layout to help keep controls from mitts and cuffs and to make sure that the timepiece does not limit the plethora of motion for that user's hands.

The mixture from the dive bezel and also the 60-minute chronograph enables a diver to time two occasions (or times) concurrently. Sinn also confirmed the pushers around the EZM 13 may be used at safety stop depths (usually around 5M/15ft), meaning the Sinn EZM 13 could easily be employed to measure your safety stop in case your dive computer unsuccessful or else you were while using Sinn EZM 13 as the primary dive timer.


This uncommon ability is because of Sinn's D3-System, which mounts the pushers and crown straight into a dent within the situation, instead of depending on the more prevalent tube place layout. With this particular clever and powerful integration solution, the crown and pushers around the Sinn EZM 13 tend to be more able to enduring impacts and safeguarding from the ingress of moisture and dirt.


In summary, the Sinn EZM 13 may be the business. It's Sinn in their best, developing a sport watch having a able to be used set of features along with a dizzying listing of protective features and intelligent designs to help keep that watch doing its project for a really very long time. I'm not generally a chronograph fan however the $2960 USD Sinn EZM 13 is really a watch that may (easily) change my thoughts. Using the EZM 13, Sinn has effectively taken their EZM 3 diver and added sufficient chronograph to grow its functionality but less regarding spoil its laser-sharp focus.
