They have gone down in both 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 D1 Spacelab Mission in 1985. He was therefore able to demonstrate that automatic watches can function even in a weightless environment. In 1992 the astronaut Klaus-Dietrich Flade took his 142 S along with him on the Mir-92-mission.</p><p><br></p><p>We have now subjected the 140 model series to further technical development. It incorporates the SINN SZ01 chronograph movement. The most striking feature of the new design is the centre-mounted jump 60-minute stopwatch hand for improved readability. The bead-blasted stainless steel case is surface-hardened with TEGIMENT Technology. This forms the base for the Black Hard Coating. The 140 St S incorporate Ar-Dehumidifying Technology to increase the functional reliability and prevent fogging.</p> https://www.sinn.de/en/watches/140-st-s.html https://www.sinn.de/en/watches/140-st.html Fri, 05 Jul 2024 00:00:48 +0200 <img src='https://www.sinn.de/out/pictures/generated/product/1/390_245_100/140.020_440_22_mit_band.png' border=0 align='left' hspace=5><p>The chronographs of the series 140 and 142 belong to our most illustrious timepieces.
