There are the usual suspects in the dive watch world, the Rolex Submariner, Omega Seamaster 300M, Tudor Pelagos and Black Bay, and of course the classics from Seiko (SKX, Marinemaster 300, Captain Willard). However, for many years Sinn has been producing incredible dive watches such as the SInn U1, U50, and the oil-filled UX. After owning three Sinns (U1, 104, and 556), I wanted to get an oil-filled watch; however the only one available was the 44mm UX.
That is until my 6 year wait for a smaller UX ended in February with the release of the 41mm U50 Hydro. After ordering one immediately, I finally got my hands on my U50 Hydro and I have been wearing it for more than a week now. Has it lived up to the hype?
So in this video I’m going to go over the details of the watch and what it's like in real life and on the wrist. Yes I’ll be talking about why it being oil filled is just so so cool, which means I'll be showing you what it looks like underwater compared to a normal watch, it's bizarre, so let's just get into it
