Whether it is the aesthetic appeal, technical finesse and the associated craft of watchmaking or the limited edition of 500 watches, the 356 PILOT Classic Anniversary embodies timekeeping in its own unique way - the ideal watch to celebrate the 25th anniversary of this model series.
Bicompax arrangement of the counters
Classic chronographs fascinate many watch lovers - not least because these timepieces often have a number of unique features. The same can certainly be said for our 356 PILOT Classic Anniversary model. For the first time in this model series, we have exquisitely decorated the dial at six o’clock with the unmistakable ‘FLIEGER KLASSIK’ lettering as a special tribute. As a counterpart to this, we attached the SINN logo as an appliqué at 12 o’clock.
Another novelty relates to a complication that is also unusual for this model series: the bicompax arrangement of the silver matt counters. For a balanced overall appearance, they harmoniously match the anthracite electroplated dial. In the interest of visual perfection, the hands for the hours, minutes and stopwatch seconds are rhodium-plated and lined with luminous paint, while the silky-matt anthracite-coloured design of the small seconds and 30-minute stopwatch are eye-catching. As a useful feature, we have equipped the dial with a fine-minute dial, divided into quarters of a second, for fast recording of short-time measurement.
High-domed sapphire crystal glass
The high-domed crystal featuring an anti-reflective coating on both sides ensures a clear view of the striking dial - even under extreme lighting conditions. In keeping with this, the case back - also made of sapphire crystal - makes it easy to catch sight of the limited-edition identifier on the rotor. To truly appreciate the value and quality of this special material, it is important to know that the glass is ground out of a solid blank that is around 5 mm thick with five different curvature radii and is then carefully polished. Connoisseurs are left impressed by the result, as the procedure preserves the classic appearance.
The 356 PILOT Classic Anniversary is powered by a high-precision mechanical movement that guarantees an improved power reserve of over 56 hours. Look forward to an extraordinary timepiece - available in a fine case with two locally manufactured straps made from nubuck boar leather.
A look back at history
The 356 PILOT Classic Anniversary model is a fine example of how every watch - or chronograph - tells a unique story. This timepiece, too, stands on the shoulders of an entire generation of successful watches from the 356 series.
It’s worth taking a look back at history. At the very beginning, there was a special edition in an exclusive range of 300 pieces. Made especially for the Japanese market, we developed an elegant and slimmer version of our 256 pilot chronograph without a rotating bezel in 1996: the 356 with the characteristic ‘FLIEGER’ imprint on a matte black dial, bead-blasted stainless-steel case and shock-resistant acrylic glass. This first model was equipped with the Valjoux 7760 hand-wound movement.
Classically elegant appearance
The great success of this watch on the Japanese market prompted us to include the chronograph in our collection. In December 1998, the time had come: as expected, the 356 PILOT, now featuring an automatic movement, bead-blasted casing, acrylic glass and a solid back, was very popular. The fact that this watch is still one of our most popular chronographs worldwide shows how timeless it is. These first chronographs also defined the parameters that characterise this model series to this day: classically elegant, with a clear, aesthetic appearance, where nothing distracts you from the essentials, because form and design are subordinate to the reliable reading of the time and the stop times determined by the chronograph.

Beautiful piece best looking sinn in a while
Its pure class no other words for it John
Nice to see the jump on the minute counter at 3 o'clock indicative of an integrated chronograph and drilled lugs. It is think though, but seems to fit ok on your wrist. Nice detail with no ghost date and seems like you hit all the key points a WIS would want to know. Good review and thumbs up.
Cheers Sir I just wished I'd to see if the 556 bracelet would fit it as I'm sure it would
Stunning piece! I'd love to see Sinn do another model that was a thinned out version of this without the chrono and with full arabics all the way round. As a kind of field/officers watch.
Maybe in the 556 range I suppose.
Or the other option is a manual wind as that would take about 1.5 /2mm of it 👍🏻
@@ClickSpringReview for sure. I eventually realised I was just describing a 556 but with these arabic numerals.
@@K.J.H_ its true :)
Nice piece, i was waiting on your review on this great video Barry 🔥🔥
I'm so happy I got to review this one matey as there selling out really fast and didn't think I'd be able to
This really nice Barry. I do like the balanced appearance of a bicompax dial even if it doesn't have the ultimate versatility of a tricompax arrangement. LG Bob 🙂👍
I really fall for this one Bob its just pure class and being 38.5mm its so comfortable and just disappears on the wrist , spot on
Not my favourite Sinn watch, but great video. I like their straps and these particularly.
Have to say the straps a very nice for this one and its nice you get two
Absolute stunner and for me it's the pick of the colourways with the white dial being 2nd. Just a shame that this one has no option to have a bracelet with it, I believe it's because it has a different case finish than the other two new 356s
Being its the same case as the 556 I'm sure the H-link or Fine Link would fit
They should have scrapped both of the straps and had it come with the metal bracket. Having it come with the metal and then customers can get leather or whatever additionally if they want makes more sense than giving two so so straps and yeah sure you can spend 300 plus on the metal if you want but seems dumb no option to choose metal INSTEAD of the two straps at time of purchase
@@markyz456 Possibly but being this model has a vintage look about it, the two straps suit it so we'll and the bracelet only cost £250 Mark
Very nice Sinn chrono. I just wonder how much of the price is because it's LE. The Hanhart flyback is $1k less, for example, though it is manual winding.
Good question the Hanhart is a great watch also but as you say manual wind which would but a few people of but non the less its a very nice movement , If you buy the Sinn in the EU it would only cost you £2,500 a saving of around £500
I've got one of these sinn fliegers on my wish list, but I've heard from 2 comments on RUclips that they have movement issues.
That's not good Jason, do you know what these are?
@robertlock6041 One of the sub dials not resetting fully
The movement is pretty solid and been around for years so sound unusual but can happen I guess
@@jasonwilson7674 Sinn should fix this under warranty. Certainly in the UK there'd be no problem over this. If it's a Sellita problem it will be more widespread, but if it's to do with Sinn's button tolerances or design they should have tested it better. The word from Germany suggests that Sinn quality control is taking something of a dip at present: go for a Guinand 361!
@@ClickSpringReview It could be the installation or controls: German chatter suggests that Sinn QC isn't what it was at the moment. If it was a movement issue the problem would be evident in other brands...
I'm no chronograph fan but these do look good.
Yeah this one hits the spot for me as the dial isnt to busy
Absolutely Beautiful watch, but I think it diminishes the “sinn” design language (except for the arabic font), and looks just like any other chrono out there.
Great review as always!
Thats fair enough , I still like the fact its a standard Sinn 556 case as that way you known their bracelets will fit it and its not to busy being it only has two sub dials. Plus it felt really good on the wrist
While I think the watch is beautiful, I wish manufacturers would stop using 30-minute registers on their models. Add a sixty-minute counter instead; what can you time with a 30-minute sub-dial? Nothing.
The EZM13 they converted to a 60min sub dial Michael
@@ClickSpringReview Thanks, I previously watched your video on the EZM13, and it's a nice watch. Damasko makes similar models. It's a much better way to go. 😎
Most chronographs don’t even get used. If you’re timing long intervals perhaps for cooking for example, a watch with a rotating bezel and a red pip or dive bezel is all you really need.
A typical chronograph is likely used for a couple minutes max, if at all. An actual chronograph used to time something like sports events, there’s only so much you can do with a wristwatch.
The minute register on a lot of vintage chronographs was divided in intervals of three. Once upon a time, long distance calls were billed in three minute intervals.
Would like to see a 41mm version.
I see where you're coming from but I do like it being 38.5 as it fits my 7.25" spot on. They do have in 41mm the 103 144 and 910 models or even the EZM13
@@ClickSpringReview yes, and the 358!
true but I was trying to keep it to 41mm options 👍🏻
Big fan of the brand, but this isn't for me - beautiful piece though.
Thats fair enough 👍🏻
🤌wowwww
Yep exactly 😊👍🏻
