The U100 PVD chrono from Sinn should be available March 2008 for $4500. Sinn has engineered push-buttons that can operate the chrono down to 1000 meters, which is an amazing feat considering most dive chonrographs cannot be used while submerged.

Here is a new Mazda Chrono that was designed and has a SINN movement. Mazda who is owned by Ford has contracted SINN to create a $2000 chonograph. Why would Mazda want to sell a $2000 wristwatch? They have a hard enough time creating and marketing vehicles, so what would make them think they could market a high-end wristwatch. Mazda please spare us with your watchmaking attempts and stick to what you are good at, selling Mazda 3s and making really cool rotary engine sports cars.

The Sinn U2 case is made out of German submarine steel that is guaranteed to be corrosion-proof, as well as impervious to salt water. The bezel is almost scratch-proof due to a process called "Tegiment" which causes steel to harden to ceramic levels. It is a GMT, which is very convenient if you are not in your home time zone. I am not sure the dial and look really appeals to me, but the 2000m dive depth, German engineering and GMT function definitely does.
