...just a shame Sinn's clasps are so horrible.
It wears really well on the silicone. I have a red silicone on its way, and the tegimented push button divers clasp.
On the bracelet the tegimented clasp is a step up from the normal one, much firmer and heftier. It doesn't have the liquid feel of the Omega micro adjust clasp, but it certainly keeps the bracelet closed and is tool-ish, which is what someone would expect of course.
Cool - that's a great result. Admittedly I haven't tried the latest version of the larger clasp.
I do like these watches on a red strap -
Very nice. It really makes the seconds hand pop.Cool - that's a great result. Admittedly I haven't tried the latest version of the larger clasp.

Ok, now I'm massively impressed by Sinn, even moreso than I have been over the years.
The tegimented 22mm push button clasp arrived, but it's different from one I had many years ago. It has a normal spring bar connection for the silicone at the six o'clock end, but at the 12 o'clock end it has a jaw which clamps shut on to the silicone, using the metal bar fillers as a 'stop'.
Basically it takes away any "I've cut it too short" anxiety and renders the silicone completely adjustable. Superb idea. And the jaw clamp really is hugely strong.
Pictures are worth a thousand words...
That newer clasp does indeed look a big step in the right direction
The ongoing (and widespread across all brands, admittedly) lack of on-the-fly micro-adjustent remains a sore point with me - the fact Certina coud manage it on a £500 quartz watch suggests it shouldn't be beyond the resources of any maker!
