A figure that astonishes, as it corresponds to roughly ten trips around the globe! After being decommissioned, Sinn Spezialuhren acquired material from the outer hull of this submarine. This provides the heart of a unique, limited‑edition (1,000 pieces) diver’s watch: the high‑strength, seawater‑resistant steel for the case. Thus the submarine U 16 is the namesake of the U16 model and a pure source of material, as well as a memorable link to an unforgettable era of German submarines.
