AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Sinn – 256 Chronograph – Valjoux 7750 – Automatic – Black Dial – 38.5mm – Men
Description / Features
The Sinn 256 Chronograph is a classic German mechanical sports chronograph combining Sinn’s functional instrument-watch design with the proven Valjoux 7750 automatic chronograph movement.
The black dial offers excellent readability and features bold Arabic numerals, luminous hands and hour markers, together with distinctive red chronograph accents that provide a strong visual contrast.
The traditional chronograph layout is complemented by a practical day and date display at 3 o'clock. The fixed tachymeter bezel allows speed calculations over a measured distance and gives the watch a distinctive motorsport-inspired appearance.
Inside is the well-known Valjoux 7750 automatic chronograph movement, a robust and widely respected Swiss mechanical calibre that has powered many professional chronographs.
With its approximately 38.5 mm stainless-steel case, the Sinn 256 offers a compact and highly wearable profile while retaining the purposeful tool-watch character associated with Sinn.
The watch is currently fitted with a black leather strap. An additional stainless-steel bracelet is also included, allowing the watch to be enjoyed with either the leather strap or the metal bracelet.
