Battle of the 500M Divers - BREITLING SuperOcean vs Sinn U50 Overview
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 27 авг 2024
- When it comes to mid-tier luxury divers, the Breitling SuperOcean and Sinn U50 are very similar with specs. But how do they compare head-to-head? In this video I give an in-depth overview of each and contrast which one may be better, depending on your use case.
Note, I was considering adding my Tudor Pelagos to the mix, but it differs more than the SuperOcean or U50, as it's titanium and has an in-house movement. I wanted to keep the overview comparable for steel divers with ETA/Sellita-based Swiss automatic movements.

I have 2 Breitling Superocean watches and absolutely love them! That being said, I love the rugged look of the Sinn and it seems comparable in many ways. The Sinn is less expensive too. I definitely take a closer look at one when I'm in the market for a new diver's watch.
A month ago these two were part of the 4-5 I had whittled my decision down to. I bought the Sinn U50. I love comfort and I thought it had the best chance of being ultra comfy and still be a beast of a diver. I ordered the S trim Level- all black and fully tegimented. I am waiting for it to arrive. Allegedly I may have up to about 45 more days of waiting. Thanks for the video to help hold me over.
Did it arrive yet? The pics of that model are absolutely stunning.
Just got the Breitling in blue. Love it! The finishing of the watch and the blue dial makes it stand out. Also, I love that Breitling wings logo which sadly they are now discontinuing.
Great review. I do prefer the look and bracelet of the Breitling.
Great review.
For me it’s the Sinn U50. I really like the look. Very utilitarian. I like it so much I put down my down payment on a fully regimented model. Now the wait begins.
If I want something more dressy I’ll wear my Rolex explorer.
Yes. I had to send Sinn a deposit to hold my place on the waiting list.
Once I got an email from them I hand to send the balance.
That was two years ago. The watch is great. The perfect size. The U1 was just too big for my wrist.
I am a Sinner trough and through and I love my U50. Fun fact: Lothar Schmidt, the owner of Sinn_Spezialuhren, has worked for Breitling. Best regards Oni
No, he was engineer at IWC
@@cast1450 that's true. 🙇♂️
Both are fantastic. I'd prefer the Breitling in this configuration for the versatility but you're right about the height of the U50, amazing given it's depth rating.
I loved this video. Very informative and neutral (voice tone). Not over the top yet not too low quality.
I think the U50 with the silver steel bezel looks better, but that's a matter of taste. I'm not a fan of the hands on the Sinn, but everything else, I really like. That plus the price difference, would make me go for the U50 any day of the week.
Not sure how I've missed your channel? But I'm subscribed now! Excellent comparison. I'm a fan of both brands, but Breitling is my favorite. Thanks for sharing this!!
Thanks for the feedback Aron. I really enjoy your content as well 👌
Thanks so much for this review. I am looking at buying my first luxury watch for an upcoming graduation, and I have narrowed it down to these two watches. The Breitling is awesome and would be so cool to own, but you can’t beat the toughness of the Sinn. I’ll have to try on the Breitling from an AD before making a final decision 😂
Good luck with your purchase. Can't go wrong with either 👍
Did you snag one of em' yet? I got the U50-T over a year ago and have worn it daily ever since... I don't wanna sway your decision if you haven't gotten a piece yet, but I just wanted to say that the tegimented stainless steel is harder than I thought. Even though this watch is my daily beater, it still has no clearly visible scratches or dings. So it's definitely a durable watch.
Thanks so much for this video man, I've been considering the Sinn U50 and the 42mm Superocean has been on the back of my mind as well. Gave me a lot to think about haha 👍🙂
I appreciate the feedback. Also, my Sinn U50 may be up for grabs if you are interested 👍
@@EverydayWatchGuy Oh that's really interesting...I may be ready to buy at the end of the month so if you still have it I'll reach out to you on IG?
I would pick the U50. Its just so interesting and eye catching. Its truly unique and different. The other watch, honestly looks like so many others.. so, its not really a talking piece at all. I like to have something that most others dont. The conversation over that U50, will happen forever, lol.
I doubt anyone is going to ask you about your Sinn unless you are surrounded by watch people. You can wear $100k Patek, and the chances of "normal" person striking up a conversation about your watch is slim to none.
@@nightstalker824 I went 13 years with a Seamaster and never a comment. Last year I was at a starbucks and the takeout girl saw and said how much she loved the watch I was wearing (a Marathon GSAR, white dial). I know what you mean, lol. But, regardless I think the U50 is far more interesting and I think that was the whole point of the video, to get others to share their thoughts. So, its all good. No wrong answer here ;-)
Great review Toran, I have to give the Sinn a slight edge due to its thinness and lower price. The oversized numerals on the Breitling are a deal killer for me. Stay safe. 😷
Excellent review! I own the U50 but I’m debating if I should sell it to help fund the Breitling Superocean 42. I love the U50 and just haven’t decided if I could bare selling it. The Breitling is a great looking watch and you’ve touched on many of the details that make each of these timepieces unique. Again, EXCELLENT review!
Thanks for the feedback 👍
Easy decision. Keep both great watches.
I am a big Breitling fan, however I need a tough and rugged timepiece. At this time, I would go with Sinn.
Greg, I have both. Both are amazing watches. The Sinn is tougher. I routinely demonstrate how tough the watch is to people by taking a key to the bracelet (fully Tegimented) and they are amazed that there still isn't a single scratch after almost 2 years. By far the toughest watch I have come across.
@@vvvhhhhhbb, I like both Sinn and Damasko. I think that both of these German companies are the toughest money can buy. 😉
Love that Breitling 😍
Good video, I own the new Sinn U50 fully Tegimemted version and I love its smaller compact size and updated SW300-2 Top grade movement which has 56-60 hours power reserve.
Hi, are you sure, that you have the sw300-2 movement? On sinn u50-Website ist only the sw300-1 listed
Sinn U50 SDR T Hands Down. Providing that you really want a dedicated dive watch and most certainly legitimate tool watch.
Excellent comparison. Love both pieces.
Really enjoyed this video. One issue that might be worth considering is long term maintenance. I went through this comparison on my own last year. Ultimately, I went with the Breitling. I really like Sinn, but I was concerned that the technology they use (e.g. inert gas filled, copper sulfate capsule) would limit who could service the watch as well as part availability. I’d like to hear about others maintenance experiences with Sinn as I still consider Sinn a primary contender for my growing collection. Thanks for the video - great information!
The U50 does not use gas or the capsule, so that is a mute point.
I just bought a second hand omega seamaster 300m gray dial pre owned but I was looking at the two exact watches, I would pick the Sinn u50, I also love the look of the Sinn u2.
Great video, for me it would have to be the Sinn
Owner of both Breitling and Sinn, I’ll have to agree Breitling feel more refine but for style it is hard to beat Sinn. I should of gone black bezel for my U1, it looks so good!
Get both, I just got the Superocean 42 in white, but already got 4 Sinn watches. I would go for the U1 if your wrist is 7 inches or bigger, the U50 is to small for bigger wrists.
Thanks for a great comparison video.
As a Sinn U1 owner, my very obviously unbiased opinion would have to be that the Sinn U50 actually beats the Breitling in over all finishing, and with that bracelet having a proper diver's extension. (For those who won't pick up on this, I had a touch of sarcasm here.) I think the Sinn's middle links that many reviewers include as part of the lug-to-lug measurement is kind of fair, but kind of unnecessary, as it really naturally tapers down with the rest of the bracelet, to wrap around the wrist naturally.
Great video! Keep it up :)
Real men will have a Sinn U1! I dislike Breitling as a brand because in my home country, South Africa, too many scumbags and corrupt tenderpreneurs are Breitling fanboys.
Love the u50, but, the Sinn ezm3 is also worth a look
Hmm. I already have a Sinn 857 on bracelet for daily/weekend wear. I'm torn between that exact Superocean for a summer watch with a little polish or a Pelagos in blue. I know you have that Pelagos too so I'd love to see this same video with it and the Sueprocean.
Pelagius would be my choice. Also will buy Sinn U50 T
I love them both but I purchased the Sinn.
Great comparison as the prices are similar after discounts. Typical Breitling discount at -33%.
If one is actually looking for a tough, tool like watch for sporting / outdoors activities, then it's the U50 hands down, preferably in a fully tegimented version. That's the one I got for myself, and I am practicing sports (gym, tennis, hiking) at least 5 days a week. Outstanding model. I have the bracelet version, but mostly wear it on the rubber strap, which is incredibly comfortable.
The moment I read half of your first sentence, I knew 100% that this was a buyers bias opinion. Sure enough started chuckling when I read the first three words of your second sentence 😂😂. Of course the watches we own were gonna praise like crazy cause we own them. As a Breitling superocean owner, I too would recommend it for sporting outdoors activities as that's exactly what I've used mine for and it has never missed a beat. Not sure how the Breitling is also not "tough and super tool like" especially with its captive bezel so I would recommend it over the sinn any day 😂😂, "hands down".
@@steelsteez6118 You're a mile off the mark. I specifically chose the U50 vs. anything else on the market because it's made of submarine grade steel, which has a hardness of 350 vickers, and the tegimenting (=carburizing) process brings its surface to 1,200 vickers. Compare this to the 200 vickers hardness of the 316L stainless steel the Breitling is made of. So yes, it is objectively much tougher, in the sense it won't scratch nearly as much if subjected to abuse. And the Sinn also has a captive bezel, so the Breitling has nothing on it in this department. Lastly, since 2022, Sinn uses a version of the SW300 whose power reserve has been extended to 56 hours, if one cares about such things.
I love both watches and if I was getting the breitling it’s this dial and bracelet I would be getting but would love both watches
You couldn't get the seconds hand on both watches synchronized, you dingus?
I own the Sinn U 50. Amazing tech and a +1sec deviation. What else than individual design (Lego Hands Hate 😊) preferences speak for a more expensive Diver? Disclaimer: I am German.
I already own a Breitling Chrono Colt but am in the market for a white face diver. Think I’ll pull the trigger.
Interesting comparison. Good content!
I own the Sinn U50 but the Breitling is equally awesome.
The Sinn is a beautiful timepiece, but I think you should go with the U1. Its bigger and would just fit better to your wrist. Good review btw!
Sinn U50 looks fun!
I'd be interested to know how the U50 watch and bracelet have held up after a year without the Tegiment process? Trying to decide if to buy with or without it. With Tegiment it's more scratch resistant but without Tegiment the watch / bracelet can be refinished.
Simple facts, Sinn is more utilitarian and Breitling is more dressy and I would be happy to own any of these two watches.
Definetely the Sinn. Much better technology and craftmanship and thought after ... The bezel action on Sinn intended the way it is for giving better haptic feedback with diving gloves... There are no design construction or finishing flaws. Everything is there for a reason. Ask Sinn in this.... If you want a more shiny everday toolwatch go with the 104 which comes with awsome finish on a much better price tag than most Breitlings even tho the prices of Sinn went up...
I have the same Sinn U50, and I recently posted up a video review as well. Does the bezel line up on yours? The lumes triangle is about a half click off on mine.
I had very good bezel alignment on my Sinn U50. Sorry to hear if your model is a little off, I'll have to check out your review. Cheers
If u choose the breitling in orange face, it looks more trendy and fashionable
Good reviews. I have the Superocean and the U50 on the way. Wish the SuperOcean was a little less chunky and 41mm instead of 42mm.
Now u have both ...which do u prefer?
Beautiful watches, both.
The Sinn just screams "badass". Even non-watch geeks are going to know that is a cool piece. Not so with the Breitling. The watch nerds know and love Breitling, but outside of that community, it blends in with any fashion watch. I don't care what others think, but it's the Sinn for me.
Really wish the Breitling had applide, round indexes instead of large numbers for the hours at 12, 6 and 9. Numers are too large for the face. Love everything else about it.
Belle revue et complète ! Je choisirais la U50 car 42 mm est trop grand, mais sur vous ça va. Merci
Love the U50... but just too small for my 8" wrist I think which is a shame.
U1 for you then
I have a 7 inch wrist and i still prefer the U1.
@@cardinalj just got the U50 fully tegimemted and the bezel and crown action is better than my ex U1, also thinner and a better movement which is a top grade SW300-2 with 56hours power reserve. One more thing under the loupe the printing is sharper on the U50.
I wish you would do a review on a hailos fairwind watch. It’s made in Vancouver and it’s unbelievable.
I will if I can get my hands on one👍
There super hard to get but i think if you email Jason . I imagine he would get you one . I just ordered the blue dial and will be getting it soon :)
@@jameshumphry6443 Congrats on ordering one. I'll see if Jason can hook me up.
I’ll be excited to see a review on it on here . Love all your videos .
Sinn head and shoulders above all other dive watches- makes Breitling, even Rolex look unserious. What the Sinn has is authenticity. Purpose driven.
The U50 with the extra adjustment hole drilled into the clasp seems to get around.
Both are great but the breitling can be worn with dress clothes.
Nice review.
Hi there. Is there a SINN dealer in GTA ?
Cheers
The only Sinn AD in Canada, that I am aware of is J Vair Jewellers out West. Kind regards
Is that a factory Sinn strap?
The straps shown in this review (red rubber band) is a after market vulcanized rubber band. I purchased the Sinn on the OEM bracelet only. Cheers
Care to share the maker of the aftermarket band? That red tone seems to match so perfectly
@@iron70p32 you can get it at this link www.aliexpress.com/item/4000453560397.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.36594c4dvYPYs6
I keep thinking of Minecraft whenever I see the Sinn U series. Breitling all day long for me, the Sinn is just too toolish.
I like the Sinn more but the Breitling is more versatile
The Sinn bracelet clasp looks awfully out of place on such a nice watch. It looks just like those clasp on $50 after market bracelet.
The Breitling looks like it came out in the open from Liberace's collection compared to the U50.
I am interested to know which has the better clear coating on the crystal?
both watches have amazing AR but I'd give the slight edge to Breitling.
Do of Seiko srpg47k1
Strap belt sinn better . Dial Breitling is good 👍
Sinn prices have gotten ridiculous
They raise prices every year.
Breitling all the way.
G shock gm6900
I'm still upset you got rid of the U50
In 2008, a sinn Linke this cost 1000 euros.. all for them.. my money better in my pocket..
In 2012.. a sinn u1 too.. a sinn U2 1200 euros.. as i said, this e prices are a joke
No contest. Sinn wins by a country mile.
No expansion link on the Breitling shows how unserious a diving watch this is.
Breitling's Rubber strap does have an extension capability.
SINN wins Hands Down !!
1:00 “there are a lot of similarities”. Seriously?
I like the Sinn more, it has a really neat design. The case of the Breitling is very generics, the oversized numeral are ugly and the bracelet looks weird. In fact I'd go as far as saying I wouldn't take the Breitling if it was given to me for free. The only downside to the Sinn is price, unfortunately.
Sinn all the way
The Sinn is too German.
Sinn all day, everyday. Give me ugly with swagger over ugly but trying to be cute.
Who cares about brand equity when the watch in question is clearly overpriced and more jewelry than watch?
Sinn looks like it was designed by an engineer. Breitling looks like it was designed by a jewelry store. No contest.
Sinn by a country mile.
Breitling blows.
Sinn SDR T all day. I changed out the thick Sinn silicone strap for a red Rubber B and I believe it wears better. I have a few Rolex SS tool watches as well as a Tudor Pelagos 39 and BB Pro but this Sinn gets more wrist time than the others. For a beater, the Sinn has no equal
