    A Sinn should be then next James Bond watch!!

    Shoot, make Sinn the title of the next movie!!

    I'm loving my 556a, and it's so undercover as well. Even some of the more elaborate models would suit 007 in a more "chase scene" environment.

    They just scream espionage and utilitarian spy slickness...

    Even the name!

    unfortunately whatever our opinion, Sinn is a not a big enough name to be officially associated with Bond.

    I don't think so.

    Bond movies have become a prime venue for luxury brand product placements, and so far Sinn has been shying away from such highly visible, but expensive placements.

    In fact, not too long ago Sinn was a little known brand that didn't even have a noteworthy distributor network and you had to order a Sinn directly from the factory.

    Sinn a toolwatch? Yes
    Sinn a status symbol? No

    IMO that pretty much puts the notion of a Sinn in a Bond movie to rest....

    True, and we should be very happy, that Sinn is not going down this alley. I'm sure Omega and all the other pay fortunes for the product placement. One reason why they are so expensive. Nevertheless, Sinn would be SOOOOOO much better as a Bond watch

    A lot of LE/Mil personnel, plus people in that industry are already wearing U-series watches... perhaps actual spies are wearing them as well, who knows.

    In the new James Bond book "Carte blanche" he wears an Oyster perpetual date-34mm-steel. Because "he doesn´t need a watch telling him the phase of the moon".
    I wonder what it´ll be in the movie. Probably an Omega again.
