All about the Hanhart PIONEER Mk II Reverse Panda Stainless Steel 40mm

Hanhart PIONEER Mk II: New Dial Variation in Reverse Panda Design

The classic PIONEER Mk II by Hanhart is now extended with a fascinating dial variation: the Reverse Panda. This popular combination of black and white elements creates a striking contrast that not only optimizes readability but also gives the watch an unmistakable look. Through its clear structure and functional design, Hanhart continues to focus on maximum reliability and user-friendliness – core features of all the brand's pilot chronographs.

Tradition Meets State-of-the-Art Technology

As a chronograph with an asymmetrical pusher spacing, the PIONEER Mk II is considered one of Hanhart's most iconic models. Underneath the screw-down stainless steel case back, the proven automatic caliber ETA 7753 beats in finest Swiss-Made quality. This movement not only guarantees precision but also longevity. In addition to a stop-seconds function, it features a power reserve of at least 42 hours when fully wound, making it ideal for extended use – whether in daily life or in the cockpit.

Perfect Readability Day and Night

The hands and numerals of the PIONEER Mk II Reverse Panda are coated with Super-LumiNova®. This high-quality luminous material ensures excellent visibility even in low light conditions, so you can effortlessly read the time at any time. Hanhart thus remains true to its philosophy of creating functional timepieces with high readability.

Characteristic Hanhart Design Features

The characteristic Hanhart fluted bezel with a red marker is continuously adjustable in both directions, which further enhances usability. An extra-large crown ensures intuitive handling, even when wearing gloves. These unique details make the PIONEER Mk II an unmistakable chronograph that perfectly combines tradition and modernity.

Comfort and Versatility on the Wrist

For optimal wearing comfort from day one, Hanhart relies on a high-quality black calfskin strap. It nestles comfortably around the wrist and is secured by a stainless steel pin buckle with an engraved Hanhart logo. Alternatively, the collection also offers a robust stainless steel bracelet as well as leather straps in various shades such as dark brown and light brown, each with striking rivets for a vintage look.

FAQs

About David from WATCHDAVID

My name is David, and I've been deeply involved with watches for many years – not just as a dealer, but primarily as a tester, photographer, and classifier.

Since 2018, I’ve been running WATCHDAVID as an independent watch project featuring reviews, videos, and real-world wearing experiences. Many of the watches you'll find here have been on my own wrist – often for extended periods.

WATCHDAVID.SHOP is intentionally personal. I only sell watches that I genuinely stand behind – no anonymous mass-produced goods, no dropshipping, no "quick trends." Experience, transparency, and honest assessment are paramount to me.

And yes: I am not an anonymous seller. I enjoy good food, sneakers, and photography – and I have a proven weakness for Kinder Chocolate.

If you have any questions or are unsure, feel free to contact me directly. I will respond personally.


Shipping & Insurance

Within Germany and the EU, shipping is free of charge. Shipping is handled by DHL and insured up to €500, €2,500 or €25,000, depending on the watch's value. The watches are therefore always sufficiently insured.

You can find the delivery time in the description and/or below the shopping cart button. Some watches are only produced after an order is placed, while others are brand new and, for example, will only be available in a few weeks (so-called PRE-SALE), etc...

Revocation & Return Shipping

You can revoke your purchase within 14 days of receiving the goods.

I will cover the return shipping costs for you.

IMPORTANT: Do not send the watch back yourself; I will send you the free return label.

To do this, please simply contact me. david@watchdavid.com

It is also important that the watch is unworn and free of any signs of wear. After a successful inspection, I will refund the purchase price to you. The refund will be made using the same payment method you used for the purchase.

Authenticity & Condition of the Watches

I guarantee that all watches I offer are exclusively new, original goods. The watches come directly from the manufacturer and have had no previous owners, unless I explicitly state otherwise (e.g., so-called PHOTO WATCHES).

As an official dealer, I exclusively offer authentic products. These are offered in their original packaging, with a warranty card, etc., just as they are delivered by the dealer. Everything in a so-called Full Set. Some deliver more, some less...

Warranty & Service

All watches purchased from me come with the international manufacturer's warranty, which is usually two years. Some brands even offer a warranty of up to 5 years.

Should a warranty claim arise, I will take care of shipping the watch to the manufacturer or the responsible service center for you and will also organize its return to you. In addition, I will handle all communication with the manufacturer, so you don't have to worry about anything.

Even after the warranty period has expired, I will remain your contact person and support you with service questions or repairs.

No answer received?

You contacted me, via the contact form, about the price proposal, directly by email, chat, but you didn't receive a reply?

Then please check your SPAM folder! Many providers are getting crazier and crazier and are sending more and more to spam.

I usually answer every inquiry within 24 hours at the latest. On weekends, it may take a little longer. As a rule, I reply within a few minutes or hours.

Something can also slip through for me. Or the technology isn't working as it should. Feel free to contact me again. david@watchdavid.com

Mechanics - Sometimes things can go wrong

Before I ship your order, I carefully inspect each watch for visible defects.

However, should a problem arise, such as a defect during transit, please inform me immediately. I will do everything in my power to find a quick solution and ensure your satisfaction.

My goal is to offer you not only high-quality products but also a first-class shopping experience. I look forward to welcoming you as a satisfied customer!

Further questions? About the watch? Anything else?

Feel free to ask me anything at any time. Just send me a message. I'll get back to you as soon as possible. NOT a chatbot, other person, or AI.
