Sinn 356 Owner Review : Convicing, efficient and endearing

Hello everyone. I am delighted to be able to express my feelings about my Sinn 356 sa flieger II. This is a watch that was given to me for the birth of my daughter, my friends knew my enthusiasm for this model of pilot's watch and I was going to buy it anyway. How can I tell you how much this watch respects these commitments and how much it lives up to its reputation. First of all, it is undeniably beautiful. Its diameter of 38.5 is ideal in my opinion. It is not too thick and its weight is just perfect for those who like to feel the presence of their watch without overdoing it. This version offers a salmon pink dial (copper according to Sinn) guilloché and sunray and its visual impact is very pleasant! The slightly satin-finished case is very discreet, without overdoing reflections, just what is needed. The sapphire crystal is slightly domed and gives some reflections around the dial that I really appreciate. Mechanically, it runs perfectly well and is very precise. Well wound, it offers a power reserve of 3 days +, it allows me to easily navigate between my watches and resume without having to reset it. I love it! The perceived quality of Sinn is impressive. Everything seems to be ultra robust, the manual winding offers a feeling of precision and robustness of the movement. The start and stop pressures of the chronograph offer a resistance and a "click" that impresses me a little each time. The only small negative point that I can expose would come from the folding clasp which had a tendency to create discomfort for me. I never really knew why. I felt an unpleasant friction. I simply ordered a pin on the Sinn website with the same satin appearance as the watch and the 'problem' was resolved very quickly. In conclusion, this Sinn 356 sa Flieger is fully up to its reputation and I can only recommend it. This is a great piece to include in a collection, whether you like pilot watches or not.
