That'll work. It's Florida. Aside from an occasional storm or random hurricane, maybe a gator every now and then, it would likely be way safer than home!

Pretty much perfect. Is there double AR coating on the crystal?

I assume so. It is a U2 crystal, and I didn't specifically ask them to leave the AR off.

"Firsts for a Sinn U1

The new Sinn U1 Professional takes our best-selling divers watch and adds professional features never before used to manufacture this model.

Drawing inspiration from the feedback of our customers, we designed this watch with a number of firsts for a Sinn U1:

First Sinn U1 to feature a domed sapphire crystal rather than flat for superior water resistance
First Sinn U1 to relocate the crown to the left side of the case as we do on many of our Mission Timer special forces watches
First Sinn U1 to feature BGW9 Super Luminova for superior visibility at night
First Sinn U1 with time only display (no date) for clean layout and improved legibility
First Sinn U1 designed with the color scheme featured in the Sinn EZM 1
First Sinn U1 to combine all of these features in a fully Tegimented (hardened case), including the crown and case back

Combine these "firsts" and you have the new Sinn U1 Professional."

The black on black depth rating is a nice subdued touch.

I wanted to avoid a Pelagos style wall of text.

One more detail everyone is missing.

Chris was instrumental in the design of this watch, and worked with us throughout the project to share his ideas. His ownership of piece 001 is well deserved.
Most important part of the description.

Who got #3? :banghead:

I got on there at 7am and #2 and #3 were already taken. Maybe I was too slow.

#2 stayed on DWC. 3 was the lowest available when ordering opened.

Dial finish looks like my Sinn U2 Meisterbund III, serial #3. And also no text below the Sinn logo.

The Sinn logo is red and appears to be larger than on the standard U1?

That was my thoughts, but did not include in my last post.

Andrew nailed it. I thought a slight increase in the size of the Sinn text would balance the dial a little better.
