Notable details about the U1000:

1. 60 minute as opposed to conventional 30 minute counter, this enables the elapsed time to be read at a glance instead of having to figure it out with a 30 minute counter

2. Crown and pushers on the left to prevent them from digging into the wrist

3. Chronograph is operable underwater; large and flat chronograph buttons allow for ease of use even with diving gloves

4. Watch has special oils to enable operation from -40 deg. C to +80 deg. C.

5. Case is filled with argon gas and has a copper sulphate capsule to keep movement dry

Stock photos taken from the Sinn website:

 

I must admit I was hoping for something less complicated, perhaps a chrono like the EZM1 with no subdials, but nonetheless I can't wait to see this in the metal!
