All about the Hanhart PIONEER One Black 42mm
Hanhart presents the new PIONEER One
Gütenbach, April 12, 2018 – 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 established a firm place in aviator watch history in the 1950s.
Vintage meets Modern
The PIONEER One combines a classic design with contemporary precision. Its handset and uncluttered dial were faithfully adopted from the 417 ES Flyback, but in a modern three-hand format. The focus on the essential gives the watch a unique charm that revives the aesthetics of the 1950s. 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. This keeps the watch 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 comfortable wear but also optimal hold, supported by a durable pin buckle. This makes the PIONEER One the perfect companion, whether at work or in leisure time.
Optimal Legibility Day and Night
For best visibility, the dial of the PIONEER One features large, luminous numerals. Thanks to the Super-LumiNova® coating on the hands and indices, the watch is excellently legible even in low light conditions. This feature particularly highlights it in situations where quick and precise legibility is crucial.
An Homage to Hanhart Classics
The PIONEER One model draws on the heritage of the iconic Cal. 42 series, which delighted with its flyback function and manual winding in the 1950s. The original Hanhart chronographs 417 and 417 ES were specially developed for the German Air Force, earning them the name "Bundeswehr Chronograph" among connoisseurs.
Only 500 pieces each of the original models were produced in brass and stainless steel at the time, making them coveted collector's items today. These classics served as an aesthetic model for many renowned manufacturers' own aviator 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 offering contemporary functionality and robustness. The result is a watch that effortlessly masters the balance between past and present.

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!
