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 -

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!
Exactly. Given that micro adjust has been around for some years, and manufacturers like San Martin do magnificent micro adjust on watches that retail for pennies, it really should be defacto on every watch.That newer clasp does indeed look a big step in the right direction

This Sinn clasp is definitely a work of art though. Looking forward to a tegimented version for the UX bracelet (only non-teg currently).
A bit of colour for the brighter day...
