* Due to a high number of customer requests, Hanhart has released the new 417 ES Heritage Flyback model in both 39mm and 42mm. Combining the all black dial aesthtics of the original 417 ES, this new Heritage model now also utilises the much loved AMT 5100 M, manual wind flyback chronograph movement, staying as close as possible to the orignal 1950s Hanhart model which were all equipped with this flyback function. Another often requested feature was to include the red reset chronograph button, so the 417 ES Heritage Flyback also features a red reset chrono button made of HyCeram® combining the advantages of 60% microfine ceramic and modern 3D cross-linked polymers. The result is a hybrid ceramic with an elegant and high-quality appearance.
* Like all models in the 417 ES collection, the design of the new Heritage Flyback is closely based on the original Bundeswehr chronograph from the 1950s. Particularly striking: the fluted bezel with red position markers - a typical Hanhart style feature that can be rotated in both directions. The dial also quotes the historical original in almost every detail: the classic Hanhart layout with totalizers at 3 and 9 o'clock, the reactivated numerals and fonts as well as the brand lettering. Both case sizes - 39mm and 42 mm - are available with a choice of black, dark brown or light brown leather strap with or without a lower band. Alternatively, a robust stainless steel strap is also available.

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.
