The EZM 10 TESTAF was the first watch worldwide that has been tested and certified to the Technical Standard for Pilot Watches (TESTAF) by the Aachen University of Applied Sciences. This guarantees that the EZM 10 TESTAF meets all time measurement requirements during flights operated under visual flight rules (VFR) and instrument flight rules (IFR) and that it is suitable for professional use as a pilot watch. This is attested to by a certificate and the TESTAF quality seal on the dial.

The declared aim in designing the EZM 10 TESTAF was to create a mission timer which meets all the requirements of a professional pilot watch in full.

If pilots decide to use a mechanical watch, its clear readability is of outstanding importance. As a consequence, at the heart of this chronograph is the SINN SZ01 movement which greatly facilitates the taking of stop times. Because the SZ01 is designed so that the watch can feature a centre-mounted, jump 60-minute stopwatch hand. This special technical feature yields two benefits: firstly, 60 minutes are now counted in one sweep of the hand instead of the usual 30 minutes, and secondly, the minute stop scale covers the entire diameter of the dial meaning that the measured times can be read off immediately.

The chronograph function displays (stop second and stop minute) are luminous meaning that the stopped and the current time remain perfectly visible even in the dark. This means that the EZM 10 TESTAF fulfils a key condition for IFR and VFR certification. The function is complemented by a backwards-counting pilot's bezel with minute ratcheting which features luminous indices, numerals and main marker. As in all of our pilot watches, this rotating bezel is captively linked to the case and has a luxury feature: the ring insert is made from high-grade sapphire crystal glass. However it is not only the clear readability which qualifies the EZM 10 TESTAF as a pilot watch, but also its extensive range of technological features.

The EZM 10 TESTAF has an impressive appearance yet is also a pleasure to wear - not least due to its bead blasted high-strength titanium case featuring TEGIMENT Technology. The EZM 10 TESTAF is therefore a striking pilot watch which delivers high performance while remaining suitable for daily use.

The EZM 10 is the result of an ambitious development project that was initiated in 2003. Throughout the entire time, our stated objective was to improve both the movement and the features of the watch. In constructing this new timepiece, our engineers pursued a challenging goal – namely to create a mission timer that optimally implemented the demands made on a pilot watch in terms of movement, dial and technology.

Easy legibility is one major reason pilots rely on mechanical watches. That is why these chronographs are made using the SINN SZ 01 movement that facilitates precise time measurement and excellent readability. The SZ 01 features a 60-minute jump minute counter in the centre of the dial. This technical innovation has two benefits: For one thing, 60 instead of the conventional 30 minutes are counted in one sweep of the hand. In addition, the minute-counting hand extends across the entire radius of the dial, making it easy to tell how much time has passed. Orange lights visible even in daylight indicate the functions of the chronograph. This makes it possible to read off stopped times even in the dark or in ultraviolet light, which is often used in cockpits. To ensure optimal functionality, the backwards-counting rotary pilot’s bezel with minute ratcheting has a luminous marking. Like all our pilot watches, the EZM has a captive bezel, but with an added luxury: The bezel insert is made of high-quality sapphire crystal glass.

But excellent readability is not the only aspect than makes the EZM 10 such a valuable and useful mission timer. The timepiece also boasts excellent SINN technological features such as DIAPAL for a lubricant-free escapement, Ar-Dehumidifying Technology for better resistance to humidity and freedom from fogging, as well as Temperature Resistance Technology that ensures workability at temperatures from -45 °C to +80 °C.

And the large-format push-pieces with Black Hard Coating on a tegimented surface are also extremely user friendly. They facilitate convenient operation of the chronograph, even with gloves on. The push-pieces are attached without screws and effectively sealed using our specially developed D3 system.

The case diameter of 46.5 mm gives the watch a formidable appearance, yet it is still comfortable to wear – not least because of its bead-blasted case made of robust titanium with TEGIMENT Technology, which is used here for the first time in a SINN watch. The crystal is made of valuable sapphire crystal glass with anti-reflective coating on both sides.

With the EZM 10 we have succeeded in developing a distinctive pilot watch with excellent performance, suitable for everyday use, that is also resistant to low pressure and high pressure up to 20 bar. Thanks to its extraordinary technological characteristics, we offer a five-year warranty for this chronograph.
