Sinn – 156 Military Chronograph – Lemania 5100 – Automatic – Black Dial – 43mm – Men

Description / Features
The Sinn 156 Military Chronograph is a highly distinctive vintage German pilot's chronograph and one of the most recognizable historical models produced by Sinn.

The black military-style dial offers excellent readability and features the characteristic central chronograph minute hand, bright red chronograph accents, a 24-hour indicator, small seconds and a day/date display.

At the heart of the watch is the legendary Lemania 5100 automatic chronograph movement, operating at 28,800 vibrations per hour. Particularly appreciated by collectors for its functional construction, the Lemania 5100 displays the chronograph minutes from the center of the dial, allowing elapsed time to be read quickly and clearly.

The stainless-steel case measures approximately 43 mm and is fitted with a rotating pilot's bezel. The combination of the robust case design, highly legible dial and distinctive chronograph layout gives the Sinn 156 its unmistakable military-inspired appearance.

The Sinn 156 series has become increasingly collectible, particularly examples equipped with the discontinued Lemania 5100 movement. It represents an important chapter in Sinn's history of functional German pilot's chronographs.
