New Sinn TESTAF DIN 8330 models
Three new models are being released to commemorate the launching of TESTAF standards which officially define what qualities as a pilot's watch. The models are the 103 Ti IFR, 103 Ti UTC IFR, and 857 UTC VFR. Apparently, there are more models to come. The 103s are made of titanium.

Thanks for posting these, Chris
Re: New Sinn TESTAF DIN 8330 models
I like them. Sinn really does like to pour on what is really (for most of us) extraneous tech. In other words, I'd rather pay half the price for the watch without all the tech.
Re: New Sinn TESTAF DIN 8330 models
I agree. Fortunately, they offer several variations of most of their lines. You can get a base 103 acrylic all the way up to a DIAPAL, with several options in between.dukerules wrote:I like them.

I like them, but at least for the stock photos I could do without the DIN 8330 text and logo on the dial. Would like to see them in person.

Re: New Sinn TESTAF DIN 8330 models
I'll post better photos once I get them. I'm not sure I love the dead space between 3 and 6 on the dial. I am a big fan of the original 103 TESTAF.Chocodove wrote:I like them, but at least for the stock photos I could do without the DIN 8330 text and logo on the dial. Would like to see them in person.

Exactly. Logo looks much better on the last one without the dead space. At least from these photos.CGSshorty wrote:I'll post better photos once I get them.

GMT chrono in the mid is almost perfect. I'd want a 60-min counter (like the U1000) and to move it to 6 o'clock. Then "Sinn" at 12 and the logo smaller at 3

All nice, 857 is money
Re: New Sinn TESTAF DIN 8330 models
As much as I want to love that 103- it's a 30min counter. Which is incredibly pointless and a waste of a chrono function. Idiots.

I don't mind the airplane logo, I kinda like it. But half of the dial is dead space. Unreal. I would have pre ordered this if it was a 60min.

They look good, but I still like the classic 103 syringe hands the best

Like the 857 but don't care for the open space on the 103's...Thanks for posting Chris.

Exactly. I do like the options. And I absolutely love my low-end acrylic 103.CGSshorty wrote:I agree. Fortunately, they offer several variations of most of their lines.

Re: New Sinn TESTAF DIN 8330 models
I like the 103 Ti UTC IFR the best but I love almost all Sinn's offered! Now as I have said before all I need is an additional good paying job for this crazy ass hobby!

Re: New Sinn TESTAF DIN 8330 models
That cyclops sub dial is brutally ugly. It looks like someone shot the watch in the forehead.
