All about the Hanhart AQUASPHERE Ocean Fade, 42mm Rubber Strap

The new Ocean Fade – An homage to the deep

With the Ocean Fade, Hanhart expands its AQUASPHERE collection, which specializes in professional dive watches, with an impressive model. The dial immediately catches the eye with a gentle color gradient from luminous blue to deep black – a visual allusion to descending into the dark depths of the ocean. This gradient is not only a visual highlight but also significantly improves legibility underwater.

Design rich in detail with functional demands

A central design element of the new Ocean Fade is the optional blue or black bezel, which harmoniously completes the overall look. It is rotatable and meets the standard of professional dive watches as it can only move counter-clockwise. The specially developed new rubber strap – also available in blue or black – not only gives the watch a sporty character but also ensures maximum wearing comfort during every dive.

Inspired by the moment between light and darkness

The dial of the Ocean Fade is more than a mere design element – it tells a story. For freedivers like Fabio Tunno, the transition from black to blue symbolizes the moment between the silent depths of the sea and the ascent back to light, back to life. The color scheme thus represents not only optical depth but also an emotional experience that many divers know from their own memory.

More possibilities on the wrist

The new rubber strap adds a particularly versatile option to the collection. Robust, easy-care, and equipped with a high-quality stainless steel clasp, it is ideal for daily use as well as for demanding dives. The modern Hanhart logo, discreetly embossed into the material, is coordinated with the dial's design and underlines the watch's aesthetics.

Flexibly configurable for every style

The Ocean Fade can be individually customized: two bezel colors and four strap variations result in a total of eight possible combinations. Whether sporty, functional, or classic – everyone will find their personal configuration. Hanhart thus proves once again that even a professional dive watch can be stylistically convincing.

Luminosity even in the deep

The coating with Super-LumiNova® C1 GL X2 ensures optimal legibility even under extreme conditions. Hands, indices, and the number 12 are all coated with this luminous material. Numbers, indices, and the triangle at twelve o'clock also glow reliably on the ceramic bezel. Additionally, the hour hand stands out clearly from the minute hand thanks to an integrated bridge, while the tip of the second hand immediately catches the eye with its red lacquer finish. The rehaut positioned at the edge also allows for particularly precise second readings.

My personal view on the Hanhart AQUASPHERE Ocean Fade, 42mm Rubber Strap

David Drilling Fazit

"Die erste Aquasphere Free Fall Blue fand ich ja schon Mega. Aber der jetzige Nachfolger Ocean Fade reißt nochmal einen raus. Gerade durch die unterschiedlichen Lünetten und Bänder sollte hier für jeden etwas dabei sein. Der Erfolg spricht für sich, denn auch dieses Modell war nach kurzer Zeit erstmal ausverkauft.... "
