Quick TakeThe Sinn 556 I F.A.Z. is a serious tool watch, dressed up with just a wink of playfulness. It's like that one friend who's incredibly accomplished, but never brags about their achievements – it just radiates quiet competence. The deep blue dial, accented by that vibrant pop of orange-red on the seconds hand, hints at a personality that doesn't take itself too seriously, but make no mistake, this watch means business. It's water-resistant to incredible depths, built from tough-as-nails satinized steel, and powered by a finely-tuned, self-winding movement that's visible through the sapphire case back. Every detail, from the hand-applied indices to the anti-reflective coating, speaks of careful consideration and German precision. Limited to only 200 pieces. This watch is the epitome of functional elegance, perfect for someone who values substance and style in equal measure, a sophisticated statement on the wrist. It is a quiet confidence, visible for only those who know the story behind it.

DescriptionThe Sinn 556 I F.A.Z., reference 556.0157, is a meticulously engineered timepiece resulting from a collaboration between Sinn and Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung. Its construction centers around a satinized stainless steel case, measuring 38.5 mm in diameter and 11 mm in thickness. The case's robust design ensures water resistance and pressure resistance up to 20 bar, meeting the technical specifications outlined in DIN 8310. Additionally, the watch is designed to withstand low-pressure environments. The case back is screw-fastened to maintain the integrity of the internal components. A screwable crown also aids in the water-resistance. This timepiece tips the scales at a mere 65 grams (without the strap). The watch uses sapphire for an exceptional clarity, protecting the front and the transparent case back. The crystal is equipped with anti-reflective coating on both sides, while the interior of the case back features an anti-reflective treatment. This ensures that reflections minimally obstruct the time and the intricate inner workings of the movement.

Powering the 556 I F.A.Z. is the SW200-1, a mechanical self-winding movement. Its internal architecture incorporates 26 bearing jewels, optimizing efficiency and minimizing wear. The movement's balance wheel completes 28,800 semi-oscillations per hour, translating to a smooth, sweeping seconds hand. A seconds stop function, or hacking feature, is implemented for precise time-setting. The movement exhibits anti-magnetic properties conforming to the standards set by DIN 8309. The dial exhibits a blue, glossy finish. Hour markers, or appliques, are hand-applied to the dial surface. Both the indices and the hour/minute hands are coated with a luminescent material, optimizing visibility in low-light scenarios. An orange-red seconds hand creates contrast. A date display window, unobtrusively, sits at the 6 o'clock position, enhancing the watch's daily utility. The band lug width on this model stands at 20 mm. The winding rotor is engraved with the limitation number and the F.A.Z. "Kluger Kopf" campaign logo.
