FIVE WAYS HI-FIDELITY LTD |
HANHART Founded in 1882. Well known today for stop watches and other time measuring instruments. Famous for the "Fliegerchronograph 1939" which has been re-introduced as a limited edition. This replica is very true to the original. Other models are available which are derived from the 1939. Every model is supplied in a leather or wooden presentation case. Hanhart now has a web site: www.hanhart.de where some new models may be seen. "Primus" (as shown below on this page) is a single button chronograph available either with manual winding (7760) or automatic winding (7750). With manual winding it is a replica of the 1938 original. The most authentic execution is hand winding/matt case/solid steel back/brown strap at £1967. This version is like the 1939 Replika but with no pusher at 4 o'clock and the bezel index in red. This is probably the one to buy when the 1939 replicas have all gone. The single control cycles: start - stop - return. The automatic version of the "Primus" has a sapphire back and the single pusher is red. This is £2125 with a black or brown strap and £2283 with a steel bracelet. All "Primus" models have black dials. Other new models have been introduced and these are shown at the bottom of this page. |
UPDATE Recent changes have occurred at Hanhart. The traditional range shown here has been phased out in favour of a new range including modern and retro models. These may be viewed on www.hanhart.de LATEST |

1939 Replika. This is very true to the original but has modern improvements. Manual winding. Matt stainless steel case. Convex sapphire crystal. Rotating bezel. Fully luminous. Water resistant to 100m. Safety rivets in the strap, like the original. Uncluttered dial yet able to measure longer time intervals using the bezel as necessary. Limited edition of 2500 pieces. D= 40mm. H= 13.7mm. Supplied in a leather presentation case. This watch is stunningly attractive and deserves its popularity. Everything is "just right". Perhaps an opportunity not to be missed. Available with brown or black strap but we think brown is more in keeping with the watch. Base movement: Valjoux 7760. Few watches remain from the limited edition. If the limited edition element doesn't matter the Primus manual version (described above and below) is just as nice and with the new pricing will be a better buy.
with leather strap £2133 NOW SOLD OUT BOTH HERE AND AT THE FACTORY

Handwinding Admiral Chronograph. This is a close derivative of the 1939 but has a bright polished stainless steel case and a white dial. It is fully luminous including the chronograph seconds counter. Otherwise the specification is as the 1939. This watch is a reproduction of another model which Hanhart used to make but is not a limited edition. It is of brighter and perhaps more "dressy" appearance than the 1939. Base movement: Valjoux 7760.
with leather strap (brown or black) £1928 (The Admiral is also available as an automatic with a sapphire see through back. It is thicker (15.4mm.) than the hand winding model and more distant from the original. £2086 with a strap, £2244 with a bracelet. Base movement: Valjoux 7750.
