Awesome watch. Sold out.
Double boxed with all cards, papers and instructions cd. Warranty card dated December 2009, so lots of warranty left!
Watch head is 95% ore better. Barely a mark to show for wear. Silicone strap is cut to approximately 7.75". It is plenty large on my 7.5" wrist.
The buckle, prone to scuffing on this model, has just been freshly sandblasted by my jeweler. A notch coarser than the factory satin finish, but looks fantastic.
The whole kit ready to go for $1650, on your wrist, second day fully insured!
The watch is in Montreal and available for local inspection.
For those of you who don't know about the Hydro UX models, I am including an excerpt from the Sinn website.
"Sinn took all that's great about the Sinn UX and added an all new black bezel. The new black bezel creates a perfect contrast with the submarine steel case, and with the white and red markings is highly legible.
Perfect legibility even under the most adverse of conditions, the largest dial possible, highest resistance to salt water, and a bezel that won’t come off or pitch to one side: these are challenges that Sinn’s engineers have fulfilled with Model UX, an evolution of the Professional Timekeeper EZM 2 for Naval Units.
Like their other U Models, the basis here is formed by the case made from the same submarine steel that is being used to build the latest generation of German military submarines. The bezel is tegimented to 1,500 Vickers compared to the usual 300 Vickers used on most stainless steel watch cases and is virtually scratch-proof. The uni-directional ratchet operated rotating bezel is also milled from this submarine steel.
The thick sapphire crystal features a special anti-reflective coating that is virtually scratch-proof - it has been hardened to 1,800 Vickers - offers a clear view of the dial with its characteristically designed markers. The case filled with pure silicon oil makes the watch legible from every angle, even under water. This oil filling – in combination with the case’s special design and gasket seals – keeps the UX SDR case water-resistant to any reachable diving depth.
The most modern and precise chronometer quartz movement on the market, ETA 955.652-Movement, keeps the UX’s time, more than fulfilling the especially strict new Swiss chronometer norms for quartz movements. The temperature-stabilized movement is powered by a lithium ion battery, which not only has an exceptionally long life, but can also supply electricity at minus temperatures of up to -25° Celsius. The functionality of this watch is tested in a temperature range of -20°C to +60°C.
Matte black dial with date at 3, Super Luminova on hands and markers, and striking red seconds hand complete the design. Silicone strap with double push deployment buckle and fliplock safety clasp.
This watch measures 44.0 mm by 13.5 mm."
