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.

Hanhart PIONEER One Gray

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."

About me

My name is David, I was born in the late 60s in NRW, now live and work in the beautiful Harz Mountains, and have been running this watch shop, among other things, since spring 2022.

Since 2018, I have also been running my watch blog watchdavid.de, which features hundreds of reviews and watch news. Since then, I have taken thousands of professional watch photos for over 100 watch brands. Many photos can be found in my reviews. I am known worldwide for this.

As a result, I naturally had thousands of watches in my hands. And with this shop, I want to bring you closer to watches that have convinced me in many ways.

So come along on a journey full of watches... off the mainstream... and if you have a question, please feel free to ask me anytime via the form, chat, WhatsApp, email or phone.

I am very much looking forward to meeting you.

PS: My hobbies & passions include the internet (first agency already in 1996), Denmark, France's coasts (Brittany, Normandy & Côte d’Azur), hiking, e-MTB, sales (Bachelor of Sales) and photography.

My Achilles' heel includes children's chocolate, good food, sneakers & of course watches... :-)

Shipping & Insurance

Within Germany and the EU, I ship free of charge. Shipping is done via DHL and insured up to 500€, 2,500€, or 25,000€, depending on the watch value. The watches are thus always sufficiently insured.

The delivery time can be found in the description and/or under the shopping cart button. Some watches are only produced after ordering, others are brand new and, for example, only available in a few weeks (so-called PRE-SALE), etc...

Cancellation & Return Shipping

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

I will cover the costs for the return shipping for you.

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

Please simply contact me for this. david@watchdavid.com

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

Authenticity & Condition of the Watches

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

As an official dealer, I offer you exclusively authentic products. These are offered in the original packaging, with warranty card, etc., just as they are delivered by the dealer. Everything in the so-called full set. One delivers more, another less...

Warranty & Service

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

If a warranty case occurs, I will take care of the shipping to the manufacturer or the responsible service center for you and also organize the return shipment to you. In addition, I handle all communication with the manufacturer so that you don't have to worry about anything.

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

No response received?

You wrote to me via the contact form, through the price proposal, directly by email, chat, but you haven't received a reply?

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

I usually answer every inquiry within 24 hours at the latest. On weekends, it can sometimes take a bit longer. As a rule, I respond within a few minutes or hours.

Something can slip past me sometimes too. Or the technology doesn't work as it should. Feel free to write to me again at david@watchdavid.com

Mechanics - Sometimes things can happen there too

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

If a problem should occur, such as damage during transport, please inform me immediately. I will do everything possible to quickly find a solution and ensure that you are satisfied.

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!
