Sinn 104 104 St Sa A

The case measures 41mm across, with a 20mm lug width. Case material: Stainless steel. Case size alone is a poor guide to how a watch wears; lug-to-lug length and how the bracelet drops off the case matter more, which is why we suggest trying one on before you commit.

Automatic, Sellita SW220-1 (modified). Power reserve is 38 hours. It beats at 28,800 vph. The movement uses 26 jewels.

It is rated to 200 meters, about 656 feet. That is a diving rating: it is built for scuba use, not just for getting wet. One caution that applies to every watch on this page: a water resistance figure describes a new watch with fresh gaskets. On a piece that is years past its last service, treat the rating as unknown until it has been pressure tested.

Sinn produced this reference from 2013 to the present day. Production years matter when you are valuing one, because dial, bezel and bracelet details often changed inside a single reference run.

104 = model; St = steel; Sa = sapphire crystal front and back; A = with bracelet/automatic spec. Reading the reference is the fastest way to confirm that a watch is what the seller says it is, before you get anywhere near the movement.

Sinn 104 St Sa A (sapphire crystals, automatic). Collector nicknames are not official Sinn names, but they are what people actually search for and what they are called across a showroom.
