The heart of this one is the the 2893 from ETA. According to some sources, Sinn only uses top and chronometer grade movements form ETA. Albeit, they do not perform any work on the pieces in house, other than casing them.
There are other variations of this watch out there: with rotating bezel-the 857 and with black hard coating-the 856S (military look, also available for the 857).
All in all, solid German casing technology, nice manufacturing quality, reliable calibers in good grade from ETA.
Not my cup of tea, though...they miss some of the flair and the soul that a watch has to have, in order to make me fall for it.
Good luck with your hunts, stay safe and make someone happy today (possibly yourself)
