Hi Everyone.
Sunday night and I was a bit bored. So I thought I'd test the claims made my Sinn on how its U series watches are able to withstand the rigors of the Lloyd Germanischer tests.
My U1 goes into a glass of cold water which then goes into the freezer. The time is 9.33pm 18th April.
At 11.50pm, the surface of the water has turned to ice. So we are not there yet.
2.03am, 19th April. More ice has formed but I still see fine air bubbles in the center of the glass. Watch still ticking away.
About 6.35am. Now we are there. The water has completely frozen.
It was a bit of a tight squeeze. Part of the ice on the top popped out.

The thawing begins.

6.40am. The U1 still embedded in ice. As far as I can tell, the U1 is still functioning perfectly.
6.43am. It's finally free.
6.44am. Wrist shot. Condensation is only on the outside of the watch.
6.48am. The Sinn U1 after 9 hours in the freezer. Everything a-ok!
Thanks for looking.
