In 1999, Sinn surprised the watch industry with a special timepiece: the 203 ARKTIS was the first diving chronograph to feature Temperature Resistance Technology. This guarantees the functional reliability of the watch in temperatures ranging from –45°C to +80°C. In 2019, this watch will celebrate its 20th anniversary. To mark its initial introduction, Sinn has developed a new edition: the 206 ARKTIS II.
In keeping with its role model, the 206 ARKTIS II features a blue dial with sunburst decoration. To remain as true to the original as possible in other respects, Sinn also kept the screw push-piece look. Thanks to the D3-System, however, screwable push-pieces are no longer required in the 206 ARKTIS II. This makes the chronograph functions easily accessible and easy to operate.
Model 206 ARKTIS II therefore represents a contemporary take on the traditional 203 series, which is reflected in a new diameter of 43 mm rather than 41 mm.
