Alternative to Sinn 356 Flieger UTC?

[Rich_AR]

I've kinda got my heart set on a Sinn 356 Flieger UTC



However, before I take the plunge, I'd like to see other similar watches. Its important that it has a second time/UTC/GMT function. Brushed steel (not a fan of shiney metal)

Budget upto £1800 ish

[tertius]

Does it also need to be a chrono? Not many dual timezone chronos about that I can think of. IWC Spitfire UTC is probably out of budget, even used. Omega might do one?

Edited to add Sinn 103 UTC? One for sale on tz-uk for exactly half your budget.

Have a look at Glycine Airman range and also the Fortis GMT range. I have a Steinhart Ocean 1 GMT with a black bezel and that is a fabulous piece of kit for not a lot of dosh -



Both Glycine and Fortis ranges can be seen at www.jurawatches.co.uk and the Steinhart at www.steinhart-watches.de

Just my 2p worth

That steinhart is nice, how are they to deal with, did you buy direct?

[CmdrBond]

Yeah, you can only buy direct and their customer service is top notch. Would highly recommend them - have had 3 Steinhart watches and in the process of developing a limited edition over on WUS - and there are a good range of pilots and divers watches to choose from.

That particular model is 390 Euros plus delivery - making it 425 Euros. They use courier services, so I personally don't mind that little bit extra

Thanks, I like the Divers vintage Red, has the look of something vintage and out of my price range.

I think i have found my next watch.

Will do while I saving for DSSD.

I think it should be a forum rule that any watch mentioned should have a picture attached. I've never really looked at Steinhart but that looks good. How's the size?

Are you after both features (chrono+24hr)?

- The 356 is a beauty, certainly that or a 756 UTC without bezel, (don't know if the Diapal one comes like this?).

I have a Steinhart Ocean One also and it really is a lovely bit of kit for the money. Has become my every day wearer so that I can keep my speedie in top condition!

Really easy company to deal with as well, can't reccomend them enough.

As someone mentioned Fortis, thought i'd have a look. I found this, B-42 Flieger GMT.



Down side, is model (and colourings) is no longer available now only the white face is and it's out of my budget

That is a fantastic looking watch! I had a good browse to find one with a black dial, but nothing ... It might be worth checking the second hand market (www.elitedealseeker.com) every now and again to see what pops up!

A B-42 Chronograph GMT came up for sale 4 weeks ago and was bought by a TZer - Perhaps message him and see if he is bored of it yet? http://www.tz-uk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t...

Does it have to be a chronograph?

Thanks! Good find. I'm not a member on TZ and it won't let me register

Yeh I would prefer a chrono watch.

I'm still hunting and looking to find other makes!
