Sorry Breitling this is a BETTER watch than Navitimer

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

I was keen to get hands on with this latest release from Sinn the 903ST II
Not many people know the backstory regarding this watches origins.
I share my thoughts on this model and hopefully shed some light for those who are not in the know...

    To those who don't "get" the design... As a former military pilot the E6B "flight confuser" wheel is a thing. The fact I know how to use it is pretty cool. It's just as much an aviation watch to a pilot as a dive watch is to a diver.

    I don’t consider the Sinn a copy at all because it literally has the rights to it. This is a Sinn Navitimer. Over the years, both the Breitling and Sinn Navitimers have evolved independently to take on the core attributes of each brand. Sinn is more rugged and-do-it-all, while Breitling is dressier and more fragile, strictly a luxury interpretation. Yet, the aesthetics are still unmistakably similar. Personally, I love the story of the Navitimer, and Sinn is an offshoot of (and runs parallel to) that story. Any history lesson on the Navi should always include Sinn as they were a key player in helping Breitling survive the quartz crisis. Sinn has certainly earned its place in Navitimer lore.

    I think this is a really great value. You get a lot for the money. The story of how Sinn (and also Ollech and Wajs) bought the rights and some of the cases and tooling for the watches when the original Breitling company got into difficulties in the 1970s is pretty interesting. I have an Ollech and Wajs "Navitimer" that looks a lot like an old Navitimer. It's one of my favorite watches. I'd seriously consider this new and improved Sinn model.

    Amazing watch. I have an older Sinn 903 and have always believed it is the value proposition over the Breitling. Sinn did an amazing job with the recent release of the 903ST. So many folks commented when the 903 went missing from Sinn's catalogue. So glad to see they have brought it back better than ever. The other watch brand that also bought rights to the Naivitimer design was Ollech and Wajs. Thanks for the review, Peter.

    I know that the younger crowd prefers thinner because it looks classier. But I like my watches tall, with prescense on the wrist. By the way Jomashop is selling the 43mm Navitimer with light blue dial, on a leather strap for $6,850 USd. 4th of July sale. Thanks for showing this watch, I did not know Sinn made it, and I do like it better than the Breitling.

    Breitling fanboy here... but no hate on the Sinn. I personally would have a hard time getting this over the Navitimer just because of that. However, good is good. And from what I've seen, Sinn is good. I can totally understand how someone who isn't as obsessed with Breitling as I am could easily grab this instead and pocket the difference in price with a smile on their face. Keep up the great work with your vids. I'm enjoying them.

Since you mentioned Fabio, I also wanna give him a shout out, truly an amazing guy. I just bought a watch from his company, @timeonly. And you are correct, he does ship world wide, as in my case. I'm in Canada. The watch I bought was Muhle-Glashutte S.A.R. Rescue-Time Edition 1994 (black & blue special edition). It's still on the way but I'm sure I'll be happy with the purchase. So one more time, shout out to FABIO and TIME ONLY, amazing guy, comprehensive watch selection, not to mention very good pricing 😊

    This video is special for me. Because I own Sinn 903 for 5y, it just has been serviced and I had to wait 3months to get it back. Only then I realised how much I like the watch and missed it. I bought it cause I admired Navitimer eversince I saw some pics of John Travolta wearing it as a pilot in early 90s. I thought I'd never be able to afford it and then I found Sinn and my problem was solved. Dream came true. I absolutely understand your passion.

    When it comes to build quality, water resistance, price, and servicing costs Sinn wins. Breitling has some nice improvements with to the 01, but their ongoing quality control and warranty issues are hard to overlook. Not to mention that I waited 4 months for my watch to come back.. Im making the trade, the LJP L112 is more than enough for a tool watch

Instead, Sinn seems to have restored the rotating bezel system by deleting the rotating crown at 10 o'clock. Random Bob has done a face off between an older. Sinn 903 and Breitling Navitimer.

I seem to recall he paid something like US$8.000 with a leather strap but bought the bracelet some months later. The bracelet makes this watch pop and is definitely the right decision. I too have read about the sale to Sinn of the rights to produce this piece. Greetings from Perth.

    I have a blue dial Breitling Navitimer ref A23322, which has a 7750 inside; so it predates the inhouse B01 movement. That particular watch has a vintagey feel to it and I love it to bits. I love Navitimers and I don't mind having more than one to make a Navi subcollection. I plan to get a Sinn 903 at some point, but I would very much love to get a different colourway than the current offerings. I know that will take a while, but I'm nothing if not patient. I'd love them to do an all black variant (which is a colourway they had in the past); so black dial, black bezel and subdials, contrasting white handset.

I love it so much i ended up buying more hamilton watches, which started My Hammy Vice.

    So did Breitling originally deign the watch? Then fell into the quartz demon hole and when Sinn bailed them out bought the rights? What does "purchase the rights" entail? I guess that's my question.

    As the original designer of a watch, if someone copies the design then you can sue. If however you sell that copyright to a company, then they are legally able to produce the exact same design without any ramifications Sinn also purchased quite a few dials and watch cases from Breitling back then. Hope that helps 👍

    @@PeterKotsa So Breitling did design the watches then found themselves in financial dire straights then proceeded to hold a fire sale for their designs and some dials? Sounds like Sinn capitalized on a familiar situation during the quartz crisis(as you mentioned), which is smart, but not very creative. I do like a lot of Sinn watches and their original designs(especially their limited edition chronos), but I think you're giving them a bit too much credit creatively imo. Now financially it's very smart, but most will still gravitate towards the Navitimer whether it's a poor decision or not....because of brand recognition imo. Solid vid btw.

    Well, the watch is... small. Breitling offers 43 and 46 for those who want to at least pretend they will ever use the core functions of the watch ie calculations. Personally I'd feel silly (and unnecessarily out of pocket) wearing something that is basically unusable for its core functions just for the sake of it looking cool, if that's the purpose they may as well just print some random decorative little numbers on the dial. But each to their own.

    I have to beg to differ regarding the finishing on this new updated 903...it is as good as any current Navi I have handled. Also the bezel feels better as does the crown (mind you this has a screw down crown). Everything just feels tighter and slightly better tolerances (thats my experience) 😊 As for the movement, agreed, the Breitling wins in this department, but that comes at a premium unfortunately Cheers
