The Hanhart Pioneer 417 ES Flyback Panda 42 is a tremendous pilot chronograph with the impeccable Hanhart quality, design and finishing level.
Hanhart has been specializing in pilot chronographs and stopwatches for well over a century and it shows in this Hanhart Pioneer. The watch has all the basics right, such as 100m water resistance, high-dome convex sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating, a comfortable leather bund strap and a solid Sellita AMT5100 M mechanical (handwinder) column wheel flyback chronograph movement. Originally designed for pilots of the German Air Force, equipped with “Temposchaltung”, as the flyback function is also called. The mechanism allows immediate measurement of a new timing interval by using the reset pusher. With a solid 42mm diameter, and a mere 13.5mm thickness, this watch will be comfortable and a joy to wear, while standing out with its beautiful dial with historic Hanhart logo and fluted bezel.
Whether you are a pilot or not, this watch combines a vintage design with contemporary quality, maintaining the true pedigree.
This model is also known as the H721.201-7010.
