THE ICON RETURNS 417 ES With the new Hanhart 417 ES, we are celebrating the return of a legend among stop wristwatches. Over 60 years ago, its historical model served as the first pilot's chronograph for the German armed forces. Today, it combines the best design of the past with the most modern production techniques of our time. The result: a robust chronograph with an exciting history for everyday wear and adventure. MODEL FROM THE 50S TRADITION IN DETAIL The 417 ES is a piece of living Hanhart tradition. Its fluted bezel rotates continuously in both directions and its red position markings are reminiscent of the original from the 1950s. The numbers and lettering on the dial in the characteristic layout with totalizers at 3 and 9 o'clock, as well as the symmetrical pusher spacing, were also adopted from the historic model. This is why it rightly bears the historic Hanhart logo. WATERPROOF UP TO 10 BAR HAND WOUND Like its historical model, the 417 ES has a hand-wound caliber. The range of action of the historic 417 was severely limited outside the cockpit due to its limited water resistance. That is why our new 417 ES can withstand the pressure of depths up to 10 bar. DARKNESS? NO PROBLEM SUPER LUMINOVA® The hands and numerals of the Hanhart 417 ES are coated with Super-LumiNova® to ensure optimum readability by day and night. THE ICON FROM THE PAST THE LEGENDARY 417 Robustness, reliability and readability. From the mid-1950s, Hanhart built the Bundeswehr's first pilot's chronograph according to these three criteria. Its name is 417 and its task is uncompromising use on the wrist of pilots. Hanhart supplied the German armed forces with the chronograph for almost ten years until 1963, when the brand focussed on the production of hand stopwatches. The few surviving examples of the original 417 have since become the most sought-after vintage chronographs from Germany. With the new Hanhart 417 ES, whose suffixed letter abbreviation stands for stainless steel as it once did, we are celebrating the return of this legendary stopwatch. THE CONTEMPORARY RE-INTERPRETATION Our aim was to design the 417 ES to be as slim as possible so that it would be present on the wrist without appearing disproportionate. Despite the heavily domed sapphire crystal, it is only 13.3 mm high. Its crown is adorned with our historic logo. SWISS-MADE QUALITY PRECISION CALIBER Behind the screw-down stainless steel back of the 417 ES, the reliable hand-wound SW 510 M caliber operates in the best Swiss-made quality. In addition to stop seconds, it offers a power reserve of up to 58 hours when fully wound. QUALITY LEATHER OR STAINLESS STEEL COMFORTABLE TO WEAR The 417 ES is comfortable to wear from day one thanks to the black calfskin strap with its waistband-style carpet pad. For extra comfort against the skin, the black calfskin strap is lined with Alcantara on the inside. A pin buckle with the historic Hanhart logo ensures a secure fit. For further styling options, we also offer a dark brown strap or a stainless steel bracelet. ADDITIONAL SECURITY FOR YOUR MOVEMENT THE HANHART IMPACT PROTECTION The Hanhart shock protection was developed to withstand even the most extreme conditions. It offers additional protection against shocks alongside the usual factory-fitted protection mechanisms.
