About this entry

84% of key specs known. Missing: weight, hardening, end links.

Compact pilot-style field watch whose dial options are named after the Sinn 556 I ("556 I") and its 3-6-9-12 numeral variants. This is the no-date VH31 sweep-quartz version; the black PVD version with a date and a Ronda 515 is the ML18 (Ronda 515), sold on the same listing. Brand specs: brushed "imported" 316L steel case (some versions black PVD-coated), 36mm, 42.5mm lug-to-lug, 9.85mm (the brand doesn't say whether that includes the crystal), 20mm lugs, fixed bezel, sapphire crystal with inner AR coating, screw-down crown (specification table), 100m, "solid stainless-steel bracelet with screw links" tapering from 20mm to 16mm with a "5-hole micro-adjust folding clasp" (three links per row in the photos). Lume: the description says Swiss Super-LumiNova BGW9 and the specification table "Super C3 Green / Super BGW9 Blue"; the photos show blue lume on most dials and green on the Vintage Black dial. Case back and weight are not stated. Prices on 2026-10-24: $114 for steel and $124 for black PVD (the page says $25 comes off automatically at checkout); sold out: Vintage Black 3-6-9-12 and both black PVD versions. The Tactical Frog store also listed the 556 I ($109, in stock) and 3-6-9-12 ($109, sold out) dials. The listing was created in September 2025.
