All about the Hanhart PIONEER One Gray

Hanhart presents the new PIONEER One

The traditional Black Forest company Hanhart expands its PIONEER collection with an exciting new addition: the PIONEER One. This three-hand watch combines the unmistakable vintage look of the 1950s with modern watchmaking technology. The historical inspiration comes from the legendary Hanhart 417 ES Flyback (caliber 42), which held a firm place in the history of pilot watches in the 1950s.

Vintage meets Modern

The PIONEER One combines a classic design with contemporary precision. Its hand display and the tidy dial have been faithfully taken from the 417 ES Flyback, albeit in a modern three-hand format. The focus on the essentials gives the watch a unique charm that brings the aesthetics of the 1950s back to life. The result is a harmonious blend of retro style and technical sophistication.

Technical Details and Comfort

With a diameter of 42 mm and a case height of 12 mm, the PIONEER One has a presence that impresses both in everyday life and on special occasions. The case is made of robust stainless steel, while a screwed case back ensures water resistance of up to 10 bar. Thus, the watch remains reliable even under demanding conditions.

The characteristic Hanhart leather strap with stainless steel rivets emphasizes the nostalgic charm of this watch. It not only offers a pleasant wearing experience but also optimal support, aided by a durable pin buckle. Thus, the PIONEER One is the perfect companion, whether at work or in leisure.

Optimal readability by day and night

For optimal visibility, the dial of the PIONEER One is equipped with large, luminous numbers. Thanks to the Super-LumiNova® coating on the hands and indices, the watch is also excellently readable in low light conditions. This feature particularly stands out in situations where quick and precise readability is crucial.

A tribute to the Hanhart classics

The PIONEER One model draws on the legacy of the iconic Cal. 42 series, which thrilled in the 1950s with its flyback function and manual winding. The original Hanhart chronographs 417 and 417 ES were specifically developed for the Luftwaffe of the Bundeswehr, earning them the name "Bundeswehr Chronograph" among connoisseurs.

At that time, only 500 pieces each were produced in brass and stainless steel from the original models, making them highly sought-after collector's items today. These classics served as an aesthetic model for many renowned manufacturers for their own pilot and military watches.

Tradition and Innovation in Perfection

"With the introduction of the PIONEER One, Hanhart once again sets standards in terms of precision and reliability. The watch adheres to the highest standards that have characterized the company for decades. It remains true to its tradition while also offering contemporary functionality and robustness. Thus, a watch is created that effortlessly masters the balance between past and present."
