====== Sinn 6090 Frankfurt Financial District Watch Large Date ====== The **Model 6090 [[Sinn Frankfurt Financial District|Frankfurt Financial District Watch]] Large Date** is an [[automatic]] [[GMT]] watch from [[Sinn]] produced from [[2012]] through [[2016]]. It is the seventh model in the [[Sinn Frankfurt Financial District]] line and the first in a larger 41.5 mm case size. ===== Overview ===== In [[1999]], [[Sinn]] added [[Sinn 6000|a model]] to celebrate the company's home city of Frankfurt and to appeal to the business and finance professionals there. The Frankfurt Financial District Watch was designed to reflect the sensibilities of the German businessman, with clean utilitarian lines, a restrained black dial, and stainless steel case. And, reflecting the international appeal of Frankfurt, the Frankfurt Financial District Watch was designed to show the time in multiple timezones. The company suggested that it could keep track of the time in New York and Tokyo, two other major stock exchanges, while showing the local time in Frankfurt. The original [[Sinn 6000|Model 6000 Frankfurt Financial District Watch]] was an [[automatic chronograph]] but the company added the [[GMT|four handed]] [[Sinn 6060|Model 6060]] late in [[2001]]. Both watches have an independently adjustable hand for a second timezone with an internal rotating bezel for a third. This **Model 6090** was a departure from the norm, with a 12-hour [[second timezone]] [[subdial]] rather than a central [[GMT]] hand, though it retained the adjustable third timezone bezel. Another novel feature was the dual-wheel "[[big date|Large Date]]" at 12 00 on the dial. Although not as large as some "big date" offerings, it was much larger than the tiny date window found on other "Frankfurter" watches. This was the first "up-sized" Frankfurt Financial District watch. The new 41.5 mm case would be adopted across the model line in following years. Model 6090 is equipped with the [[ETA 2892A2]] movement with a module adding the big date and second timezone subdial. The movement, visible through a sapphire [[display caseback]], features a "bull and bear" motif. It is likely that the module is a [[Soprod]] [[Soprod TT/651|TT/651]]. Model 6090 was retired in [[2016]] but it would take two years before the 41.5 mm [[Sinn 6096|Model 6096]] world time watch appeared. A single model was produced in just four years, making this the shortest production run of any model in the family. ===== See Also ===== * [[Sinn Frankfurt Financial District]] * [[Sinn 6000]], the original chronograph * [[Sinn 6060]], the 38.5 mm world time watch * [[Sinn 6096]], the 41.5 mm world time watch ===== References ===== * Sinn 6090 (2012-2016) - [[Stainless steel]] case, black dial and bezel **Movement:** * [[Self-winding]] movement [[ETA 2892A2]] with [[big date]] and [[second timezone]] module, 28,800 A/h * On the [[rotor]] "bull and bear" motif is engraved by hand * [[Antimagnetic]] according to [[DIN 8309]] * [[Waterproof]] according to [[DIN 8310]] * [[Shock resistant]] according to [[ISO 1413]] **Case:** * [[Stainless steel]] case * Ø 41.5 mm, H 11 mm * [[Sapphire crystal]], [[antireflective]] on both sides * Caseback screwed, with [[sapphire crystal]], [[antireflective]] inside * [[Waterproof]] to 10 bar * Safe below atmospheric pressure **Dial:** * Black galvanised dial with sunburst pattern * [[Rhodinated]]e appliques coated with white [[luminous]] colour * Hours- and minutes hand [[skeletonized]], coated with [[luminous]] colour * Central [[hacking seconds]] hand [[rhodinated]] **Functions:** * Hours, minutes, [[hacking]] [[central seconds]] * [[Second timezone]] [[subdial]] at 6 00 * Inner bezel with third time-zone * [[Big date]] at 12 00 **Bracelet:** * 2 wristbands calf leather strap and solid metal bracelet **Warranty: ** * 2 years **Production:** * Production [[2012]]-[[2016]] * Successor [[Sinn 6096]] {{tag>Watch_models Sinn_Frankfurt_Financial_District_models}}
