Sinn 856 UTC (856.010)

The Sinn 856 UTC (856.010) is a 40mm second-time-zone watch in bead-blasted steel with TEGIMENT technology, distinct from the technical dress 556, the dive-oriented U1, the pilot's 104, and the mission-watch EZM 3 already in the catalog. It runs an automatic ETA 2893-2 movement with a 24-hour UTC function, magnetic protection up to 80,000 A/m, and 200-meter water resistance. We have no verified price observations for this reference as of today (n=0).

History

Sinn Spezialuhren was founded in Frankfurt in 1961, initially as a maker of aviation cockpit instruments before specializing in pilot's watches and technical instrument watches, a field where Sinn competes on its own case-sealing and dehumidifying technology.

The 856 family adds a second-time-zone (UTC) function on a 24-hour scale to the brand's technical-instrument base, with an arrow-tipped hand that also helps with compass-point orientation, aimed at wearers who frequently cross time zones.

The 856.010 runs the automatic ETA 2893-2 movement with a UTC module, inside a bead-blasted steel case treated with TEGIMENT for greater scratch resistance. Sinn's Ar-Dehumidifying technology combines a drying capsule with an inert-gas fill to slow the aging of the movement's lubricants and reduce crystal fogging.

This is Sinn's fifth reference in Cazador's catalog, alongside the 556 (technical three-hand dress watch), the U1 (submarine-steel dive watch, high water resistance), the 104 (three-hand pilot's watch with day and date), and the EZM 3 (mission watch for rescue teams). The 856 UTC brings the dual-time-zone function none of the brand's other four references offers.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a Sinn 856 UTC (856.010) cost?

Cazador has no verified price observations for this reference (0 PricePoints recorded as of today). We do not publish estimates without our own sourced market data.

How does the UTC function work?

An additional arrow-tipped hand travels around a 24-hour scale on the dial, letting the wearer read a second time zone alongside local time without affecting the main hands.

What is Sinn's Ar-Dehumidifying technology?

It combines a drying capsule with an inert-gas fill inside the case, slowing the aging of the movement's lubricants and reducing the risk of crystal fogging.

How does it differ from Sinn's other four references in Cazador?

The 556 and 104 are three-hand watches with no added time-telling complication, the U1 is a submarine-steel dive watch, and the EZM 3 is a mission watch; the 856 UTC is the only one with a second-time-zone function.

Is it suitable for diving?

Its 200-meter water resistance allows it in practice, though Sinn does not position it as a professional dive watch on the level of the U1.

Since when has Sinn existed?

Since 1961, founded in Frankfurt, Germany; it began making aviation instruments before specializing in technical and instrument watches.
