Blue with a burst: the new Sinn 104 St Sa A B E

Blue dials are still in vogue in the watch industry, that goes without saying. And yes, the Sinn 104 was itself already available with a blue dial, but the limited edition St Sa A B E sweetens the pot with striking color coordination and a charming vintage style.

Vintage done right

Without question, the star of the show remains the sunburst dial, but now its blue can also be seen on the pilot’s bezel and accenting the date and day display. In combination with the ivory-colored hands and numerals, there is a vintage feeling that could otherwise only be found with Marlene Dietrich’s trousers. Sinn has also taken the 104 St Sa A B E as an opportunity to introduce their new canvas leather band which, like trousers, also comes in pairs – the watch comes with two bands, in gray and sand, either of which nicely completes the picture.

Truly one in a thousand

The inscription “Eine von 1000” on the rotor specifies the limited number of the 104 St Sa AB E that are available, confirming that while the watch industry will undoubtedly continue to provide an embarrassment of riches as regards blue dials, only a few lucky customers can experience their blue heaven with this Sinn. Well, there’s always something…

For fans of the hard facts here are a few of the key features of the 104 St Sa A B E, with more information available on the manufacturer’s website.
