Sinn U50 S BS - A New Option For A Fantastic Diver (2022)

March 31, 2022

The Sinn U50 S BS is a limited-edition take on the highly successful U50 diver. By the time you read this, it will likely be gone - at least from Sinn s official site. Still, I think it s worth taking a look if only to get some hints about what could come next.It seems that Sinn was successful with this year s novelties. Then again, there were just 1,600 pieces of the colorful 556, 500 EZM 1.1 S models, and now just 500 of today s Sinn U50 S BS. A quick jaunt to the brand s official site shows that all of the watches are sold out online, but retail partners may have some in stock. Let s see why this new U50 moved so quickly.The Sinn U50 S BSPerhaps it s surprising, but the Sinn U50 S BS was the first U50 model I had ever tried on. It has a 41mm diameter, a thickness of just 11.15 mm, and a lug-to-lug of 46.75mm. The new S BS (that BS nomenclature is interesting, by the way) brings all those lovely dimensions in a slightly new package. The original is available in an all-stainless version (pictured above), one with a black bezel, and an all-black model. All contain a black dial and range from $1,990 to $2,730?and utilize the Sellita SW300-1.The Sinn U50 S BS features a black hard-coated case using Tegimented technology. Note that the black bezel differs from the normal production model because it lacks any red on its scale. The dial is a blue gradient style and everything that is normally red is now either white or black. The 500m diver comes on either a black silicone strap with divers extension or a black bracelet.Thoughts and pricingNormally, I m not a fan of all-black watches. I don t find them incredibly useful for daily wear because they give off a real tactical vibe. For whatever reason, Sinn is one of the few brands that can seemingly pull off the look and leave me interested. I do like the normal U50 like the one above, but the dark blue dial on the U50 S BS actually made the watch feel warmer. I was surprised by that in person, but it definitely works. This watch begins life at $2,450?with an extra cost for the bracelet. Now, limited editions are exactly that - limited. The good thing is that watch is based upon what must be one of the best, most comfortable - and available - dive watches around.For more information on the Sinn U50 S BS and other U50 models, visit the official Sinn site.
