* After more than two years of intensive development, Hanhart proudly presents the new Preventor HD12™. With the introduction of the exclusive HD12™ steel, the manufacturer from the Black Forest is setting a new benchmark in terms of the scratch resistance of its cases. As an extension of the popular PIONEER collection, the Preventor HD12™ fulfills the desire for a 3-hand model with central seconds and a more compact diameter of 39 mm. The water resistance of 15 ATM and a screw-down crown make the new Hanhart watch the perfect everyday companion.
* The new HD12™ steel from Hanhart achieves an exceptional surface hardness without compromising the corrosion resistance of stainless steel. This innovative material is being used for the first time in Hanhart’s company history for the case of the new Preventor HD12™ watch. The HD12™ steel achieves an impressive surface hardness of up to 1200 HV (Vickers hardness), which makes the watch case many times more resistant to scratches. In contrast, conventional 316L steel has a surface hardness of around 220 HV.
* The Preventor HD12™ impresses with its clearly designed dial, which is available in the colors dark blue and black. It has three central hands, with the second hand having a distinctive red tip that enables precise reading. Both the numerals and the hands are coated with SuperLuminova® C1, which makes them glow in the dark and ensures optimum legibility at all times. The dial also bears the historic Hanhart logo and the watch has a diameter of 39 mm, a height of 10.5 mm and is powered by the reliable Sellita SW200-1 automatic movement.

Tradition and Expertise since 1882.
Hanhart first began trading on July 1st 1882 when Swiss watchmaker Johann A. Hanhart opened a watch shop in Diessenhofen, north-east Switzerland. The company quickly re-located to Schwenningen, southern Germany in 1902 and found instant success in 1924 with their first affordable, mechanical stopwatch. By 1938, Hanhart were a pioneer in the production of mechanical chronograph wristwatches, designed for pilots and by the 1960s had also moved into fine timing for sports events and motor racing.
Today, Hanhart still produce a varied range of wristwatches and fine timing stopwatches, tapping into their rich heritage of mechanical watchmaking know-how to produce pieces of incredible craftmanship and functional good looks.
