Sinn introduced new models and I thought I have to share some of my fave models with you as well .
My fave model is the UTC one but U18's also very eye catching .

556i RS for me.

I’m searching for a German pilot style watch that has bright white lumins. I don’t want a mostly white but “slightly green” appearance (for example Laco) during the day. I’m talking about during the day. I know the lumins turn green when the lights go off. I was all set to purchase a Laco but learned the lumins have a slightly green appearance to them, even during the day.

Now, I’m interested in a Sinn 556A RS but there are no Sinn stores near me to see it in person. For those that own Sinn’s can you confirm the lumins are a nice bright white color and no hint of green, during the day?

So does your Sinn lumins appear white? No touch of green during the day?

White in the day, greenish at night.

Not home. I can take some pics on Monday if you want. I'll be flying so will be wearing it-- it's my "work watch".

No touch of green during the day.

Can't get a whole lot more "Flieger" than this....

Great. Thank you Flybigjet. I think I’m probably going to get a Sinn.
