Hanhart PRIMUS FLY NAVY PVD MFG3

PRIMUS FLY NAVY – Limited Special Edition

The renowned Black Forest watch manufacturer Hanhart is expanding its PRIMUS collection with an exclusive special edition: the PRIMUS FLY NAVY. With a limited run of only 150 pieces, this chronograph combines technical precision, maritime symbolism, and a rich tradition. Developed for the demanding conditions of naval aviation, this watch offers reliable performance and outstanding readability – even during low-level flights over stormy seas, whether in the Arctic or the tropics.

A Tribute to Naval Aviation

The PRIMUS FLY NAVY is a homage to over a century of precision and tradition, both in the German Navy and at Hanhart, whose history dates back to 1882. In the past, pilot watches had to withstand extreme challenges: from massive temperature fluctuations and enormous altitude differences to strong vibrations. Even today, precision plays a crucial role in naval aviation, especially during low-level flights over the sea or landings on pitching ship decks. The PRIMUS FLY NAVY is a loyal companion in such extreme situations and also a stylish addition for more relaxed occasions.

Maritime Details with Symbolic Depth

The special edition emphasizes its maritime roots through numerous details. The second hand bears Poseidon's trident – a symbol also found in the coat of arms of Marinefliegergeschwader 3 "Graf Zeppelin" (Naval Air Wing 3 "Graf Zeppelin"). Furthermore, the buyer can choose between two unique sapphire crystal case back decorations: the coat of arms of MFG3 or Marinefliegergeschwader 5 (Naval Air Wing 5). Both emblems symbolize solidarity and the values of naval aviators.

• MFG3 Coat of Arms: It shows an anchor and wing as a sign of affiliation with the Navy, flanked by five stars representing the virtues of loyalty, courage, readiness, reliability, and endurance.
• MFG5 Coat of Arms: Elements such as water, sea eagle, anchor, and wing represent the responsibility to protect the airspace over the sea. The sea eagle's head symbolizes sovereignty over this area.

Design and Materials

The PRIMUS FLY NAVY chronographs are available in two variants:

1. Stainless steel case: Combined with a navy-blue textile strap and a deep blue dial.
2. PVD-coated case: Complemented by a black textile strap for a subtle, modern appearance.

The navy-blue dial features the stylized Naval Aviation logo, which is also found on the screw-down crown. The numerals and hands are equipped with the modern Super-LumiNova® SLN C3 GL coating, ensuring perfect readability in all lighting conditions.

Flexibility and Wearing Comfort

A special feature of PRIMUS watches are the flexible lugs, which ensure maximum wearing comfort – even with an impressive diameter of 44 mm. The chronograph combines robust design with pleasant ergonomics, making it suitable for both everyday wear and extreme challenges.

A Symbol of Precision and Tradition

The limited PRIMUS FLY NAVY embodies the values of Hanhart and German naval aviation. With its unique combination of technical excellence and emotional symbolism, this watch is not only a reliable timepiece but also a piece of maritime history on the wrist.
