Here's a detailed first impression of the brand new Sinn 556. The watch, even if heralded by Sinn as a "starter watch", is a fine piece and a full grown Sinn for those who don't want to shell out that much dole. It comes with the usual Sinn swag (guarantee card, instruction manual, strap changing tool and threadlock):

The watch itself is of a minimalistic plainness, I bought it as a dress watch which seems to be the perfect fit for it. The dial is of a glossy, lacquer/enamel-like finish, giving a bit of "sheen" to the otherwise simplistic dial:




Size-wise, it's bigger than the 37mm diameter would suggest, here's a comparison pic (Seiko 007 on the left, Marinemaster on the right):

"Wrist shot" lol



Case and bracelet are brushed, the clasp is "Sinn" engraved:




The see-through caseback is nicely exectued, the Movement (ETA 2824-2) is nicely finished, the Rotor has the "Sinn" engraving and Geneva stripes:



compared to the rest of my collection, the 556 is a nice change and hopefully will aid me in thursdays job interview ;)

Next up is the EZM 3...

Cheers,

Christian

That is one beautiful watch.  I really, really like the simple dial.  I bet it has great lume too.  I would prefer a bit larger size...but beautiful none-the-less.

I just like the layout of the dial, those hands ah.....

Just wonder why they don;t do bezel and what will it look like?
