Sinn 140A Space Chronograph LE
Sinn 140A Space Chronograph LE
The Speedmaster is not the only watch with strong ties to space exploration, with Sinn’s 140 and 142 chronographs being two of our most illustrious timepieces to be worn in outer space, both having gone down in watchmaking and space flight history. The German physicist and astronaut Reinhard Furrer wore the 140 S with Lemania 5100 movement on his wrist during the D-1 Spacelab mission in 1985, demonstrating that an automatic watch could also function in a weightless environment. In 1992 the astronaut Klaus-Dietrich Flade took his 142 S along with him on the Mir 92 mission.
The 140 A we have here is an update of the 142 S, released by Sinn in 2013 as a limited run of 500 pieces. Utilising a steel tegimented 44mm case, it is powered by the Sinn SZ01 calibre, based on an ETA 7750 and also features Sinn’s Ar-Dehumidifying technology.
This particular example was purchased new in December 2013 and presents in TZ Excellent condition. There’s a few small marks on the brushed surface toward the top of the case, and a small mark on the AR near 6 right at the bottom of the crystal. See images for full condition details.
No known service history. Currently running at COSC specs. Chrono stops, starts and resets as it should.
Includes outer box, inner box, instruction manual, warranty card dated December 2013, and strap changing tool.
