Hanhart PIONEER Silva Black 38.5mm

Silva – An Homage to the Black Forest

The name Silva, derived from the Latin word for "forest," already hints at the origin of the latest addition to the PIONEER collection. In the heart of the deep Black Forest, in the picturesque Gütenbach, Hanhart's experienced watchmakers meticulously craft each model of the new PIONEER Silva by hand. With a diameter of 38.5 mm and a case height of 10 mm, the Silva presents itself as minimalist, slim, and reduced to the essentials. The dial's design combines modern elements with classic touches reminiscent of bygone eras.

Timeless Inspiration from Company History

The PIONEER Silva is based on a historical model from the Hanhart museum: the Caliber 36/39. This watch, featuring a simple design and 15 jewels, served as the inspiration for the new model. Hanhart has carefully modernized the original design while preserving its characteristic vintage charm. The case is made of polished stainless steel, emphasizing the watch's understated elegance. With a lug-to-lug measurement of 44 mm, it fits perfectly on the wrist and is ideal for everyday wear.

Attention to Detail and Highest Precision

The crown of the Silva proudly bears Hanhart's historical "h" logo, while the convex, anti-reflective sapphire crystal on the inside offers optimal scratch protection. The watch is water-resistant up to 5 bar (5 ATM), making it robust enough for various everyday situations. Inside, the precise automatic movement Sellita SW 200 operates, characterized by its high reliability and Swiss Made quality. With a power reserve of up to 38 hours and a stop-seconds function, the movement meets the highest demands. The skeletonized Hanhart rotor is visible through the screwed sapphire crystal case back, providing a fascinating glimpse into the watch's mechanics.

Clean Design for Best Readability

The Silva's dial impresses with its clarity and functionality. The straight hands and the distinctive dots between the numerals are taken from the historical model and ensure perfect readability. The historical Hanhart logo is also prominently featured on the dial, lending the watch a special authenticity.

Versatile Wearing Comfort

For maximum wearing comfort, there is a black calfskin strap lined with Alcantara on the inside, or alternatively a Milanese steel strap. The pin buckle also bears the historical Hanhart logo and ensures a secure fit on the wrist.

Quality, Functionality, and Timeless Aesthetics

The PIONEER Silva embodies Hanhart's values: unrivaled precision, perfect readability, and robustness. As one of the most traditional manufacturers of pilot's watches, Hanhart remains true to its principles with the Silva: highest reliability and simple, safe operation. The Silva is not only an homage to the company's history but also proof of its continuous commitment to producing excellent watches characterized by timeless aesthetics and uncompromising quality.
