Description
Hanhart 417 ES Tornado Limited Edition
Model: H701L.214-7010
A special limited edition for the Panavia Tornado 50th anniversary
August 2024 will mark the 50th anniversary of the maiden flight of the Panavia Tornado twin-engine combat aircraft. To mark this occasion, Hanhart, with friendly support of PANAVIA Aircraft GmbH, is launching a special edition limited to 148 pieces. The number of pieces is based on the day and month of the maiden flight on 14 August.
In a sense, the watch is also a time machine, combining the distinctive details of the past with the most modern materials of our time. Particularly ingenious are the sharply drawn and highly polished chamfers that mark the transition from the sanitized horns to the flanks. The fluted bezel rotates continuously in both directions, a typical stylistic feature of a Hanhart. Its red position markings are reminiscent of the historical model, as are the details on the dial. The bi-compax layout and lettering appear to be a direct copy of the early 417. The numbers, fonts, and branding have also been reactivated.
To ensure the chronograph’s precision and reliability, the screw-down stainless steel case houses the reliable Swiss Made Sellita AMT 5100 M Flyback movement. In addition to a stop-second, it offers a power reserve of up to 58 hours when fully wound. The historic 417 was also hand-wound, but its limited water-resistance severely restricted its range outside the cockpit. The new 417 ES TORNADO, limited to 148 pieces, is water-resistant to 10 bar.
THE COCKADE – GER/IT/UK
The 417 ES TORNADO bears the cockade in the colours of the three partner nations (Germany, Italy, and the United Kingdom) on the dial below the running second at 9 o’clock. This cockade was worn by P.01 below the cockpit on the port side. The eye of the second hand has been reduced in size to make the cockade more visible.
OTHER SPECIAL FEATURES
The TORNADO logo is located on the lower half of the dial. An embossed view of the plane from above with the wings at 67° and the TORNADO logo adorn the back of the watch. The location, date, duration of the flight, registration number, and serial number XXX/148 are also engraved on the case back.
The hour indices, hour, minute, and stop-second hands are coated with luminous material in Old Radium colour to enhance the vintage look of the watch.
On the wrist, a black calfskin strap with waistband-style padding ensures comfort from day one. The Alcantara lining also promises a particularly pleasant feel against the skin. A stainless steel buckle with the historic Hanhart logo ensures a secure fit.
