Crown is screw down, it has Sinn logo, pushers work perfect, and these pushers with no protection indicate that this one is an early example, newer models have

protection on pushers.

Dial is the best thing right here and due to the dial this watch is considered a rare one. Dial has long S in Sinn logo and long A in Automatic written in italic, this is

an early iteration of 144 from 1974 to mid 1980s, newer versions have square Automatic font. Second reason why it’s rare is the bezel which is “1 km 1000” with

long distance between markers, while majority of other 144s have Pulse or Tachy bezels. This dial has tritium lume which is not indicated at 6 subdial, while newer

versions have T Swiss Made T at the bottom. Lume has a nice cream patina, all the lume on hourmarkers matches the lume on handset, please check lumeshot in Imgur gallery. Orange hands indicate chrono functions. Day date window is at 3 o’clock.

This is an OG for all the 144s right there and this watch looks brilliant due to its condition, unusual case shape and of course contrast black matte dial with white/yellow/orange accents.
