Innovations and certifications
our diving watches are made of submarine steel, such as that used
to construct the outer hulls of the german type 212a submarine class,
continuously pass these tests for temperature resistance and function.
germanischer lloyd, the world's largest classification society for maritime
safety, has been testing our diving watches for pressure and water resistance
since 2005. as part of germanischer lloyd's official certification process, our
diving watches have been treated as part of diving equipment since 2006
and tested and certified in accordance with european diving equipment
standards. this is unparalleled in the watch industry.
we have had selected pilot's watches tested and certified to the technical
Standard for pilot's watches (teStaF) by aachen university of applied
Sciences since 2012. the teStaF, the result of a research project at the initiative
of Sinn Spezialuhren, ensures that a pilot's watch meets all timekeeping
requirements during flight operations in accordance with visual and
instrumental flight regulations and is suitable for professional use.
diapal is one of our most important technological developments, with oiling
no longer needed for the most important functions in the watch thanks to
the materials we select. this technology was first used in 2001. with the aid
of tegiMent technology, we achieve greatly increased scratch resistance
through surface hardening.
