LATEST
It seems that for all practical purposes the watches shown below are no longer available new. We are keeping this web page alive for reference and because second hand Hanhart watches turn up from time to time. The 1939 Replika is particularly sought.
|
| 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

| Primus Manual. As mentined above, this hand winding model is a close replica of the 1938 original and is perhaps the one to buy when the 1939 Replika is sold out. Convex sapphire crystal. Solid steel back. Rotating bezel. Water resistant to 100m. Safety rivets in the strap. Fully luminous. Single pusher cycles: go/stop/return. D= 40mm. H= 13.7mm. Base movement: Valjoux 7760. Shown with a black strap but perhaps more original with a brown one.

| Pioneer Caliber II. This is a new model. It looks like the 1939 Replika model from the front but is actually automatic (7750) and has a sapphire back hence H= 15mm. Convex sapphire crystal. Water resistant to 100m.Safety rivets in strap. Rotating bezel. Fully luminous.

| Tachy Tele. This model is like the 1939 but has both a tachymeter scale and a telemeter scale. These are marked in red. The third button is also red. This model is not a limited edition.

| 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
with stainless steel bracelet £2125
(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. The automatic Admiral has the options of black or white dial and matt or polished case.).

COMMENT
The interest in Hanhart stems from the derivation of its chronographs from the WWII period. The 1939 Replika has been by far the most successful model for us in recent years. Subject to availability, this is the one to go for. Failing this the hand winding Primus is a good alternative. The other models are fine watches in their own right but don't have quite the same charisma. |
