he launch of the Hanhart 417 ES Moby Dick marks the return of another collector’s item among wristwatches. More than 60 years ago, its historical model served as a chronograph for officers and in the medical service. Today, it combines the classic design of yesteryear with the most advanced manufacturing techniques of our time. The result is a robust chronograph with a fascinating history, ready for everyday life and adventure.

A sharply drawn and highly polished bevel marks the transition from the satin-finished horns to the flanks. The fluted bezel, a typical Hanhart style feature, rotates continuously in both directions. However, the position marker on the Moby Dick is not red, but matches the colour of the dial. Like the rest of the design, the details on the dial are reminiscent of the historical model from the 1950s. The bi-compax layout and the lettering are based on the early 417.

Like the historical model, the 417 ES Moby Dick has a hand-wound caliber. The radius of action of the historic 417 was severely limited outside the cockpit due to its small water resistance. Therefore, our new 417 ES Moby Dick can withstand the pressure of the depth up to 10 bar.

To ensure that our latest stopwatch not only looks good, but also runs precisely, the reliable hand-wound SW510 caliber in the best Swiss Made quality works behind the screw-down stainless steel case back. In addition to the stop-seconds function, it offers a power reserve of at least 48 hours when fully wound.

The thermally blued hands give the 417 ES Moby Dick a special effect. Depending on the light, the colour changes in a fascinating way.

The new 417 ES Moby Dick can now be ordered from our dealers and in our online store for EUR 1,940.00 incl. 19% VAT. The version with a stainless steel bracelet costs EUR 2,140.00 incl. 19% VAT.
