Description
Hanhart FLY NAVY Aerosphere
Model reference: 773.274-3338
A new special edition, limited to just 300 pieces, has been added to the collection of the Black Forest watch manufacturer Hanhart: the FLY NAVY Aerosphere. A reliable and robust watch is seldom needed as much as when flying low over the sea on a stormy night. Whether in the Arctic or the tropics, on the ocean or in the coastal mountains, naval aviation is often associated with difficult conditions. The FLY NAVY Aerosphere is precise, reliable, and easy to read day and night, making it easy to fly without additional navigational aids. Precision and tradition have been highly valued by the German Navy for more than 110 years, and these maxims have also existed at Hanhart since 1882 and are reflected in this exceptional watch.
Hanhart and Aviation
The significant connection between Hanhart and aviation goes back a long way in history. In aviation, automatic pilot’s watches had to withstand extreme vibrations, enormous temperature fluctuations, great differences in altitude, and fluctuating weather conditions—challenges that the air force is still familiar with today.
Flying over the sea has always required the utmost precision and a keen understanding of the elements. There are few other places where the forces of nature have such a direct effect as when flying low over the sea on a stormy night, which ends with a landing on a swaying deck. The limited edition FLY NAVY Aerosphere is a reliable and precise chronograph and the perfect wrist companion for such challenging situations.
150 pieces each: Naval aviation squadron (in German Marinefliegergeschwader) 3 and 5
The new FLY NAVY Aerosphere combines precision and tradition with various maritime details. According to Greek mythology, the second hand shows the trident of Poseidon, the god of the sea, which can also be found on the coat of arms of the naval aviation squadron (Marinefliegergeschwader) 3 ‘Graf Zeppelin’. Either the coat of arms of the MFG3 ‘Graf Zeppelin’ or the MFG5 coat of arms is embossed on the screw-down case back and can be individually selected. To complete the unique details of the marine watch, the naval aviator command logo is depicted on the navy blue dial and on the screw-in crown of the chronograph.
The coats of arms embossed on the case back symbolize cohesion and solidarity. In the coat of arms of the MFG3, the affiliation to the naval aviators is symbolized by the wing and the anchor in the middle. The five stars symbolize the five virtues of fidelity, courage, broad-mindedness, reliability, and endurance. The MFG5 coat of arms contains water, sea eagle, anchor, and wing as elements and has been in this form since 2013. The head of the sea eagle has the meaning of maintaining sovereignty over the airspace above the sea.
The new, limited FLY NAVY Aerosphere is available in both variants 150 times each.
Outstanding Comfort
The limited edition FLY NAVY Aerosphere is available with a blue Hook Strap textile strap, which ensures optimum wearing comfort for every wrist. Alternatively, the new edition is available with a stainless steel strap. The special edition is a chic watch for a relaxing beach holiday and is also a reliable timepiece for challenging tasks in the naval forces.
Rotating Bezel with Standard Lettering, 30 ATM and Helium Valve
The font of the numerals on the bezel, which can be rotated in one direction with 60 clicks, has been designed in standard font—this is intended to emphasize perfect legibility.
The FLY NAVY Aerosphere has a water resistance of up to 30 bar (approx. 300 meters) to ensure that it is ideally equipped for use on and in the water.
The suitability of this new watch for divers is underlined by a helium valve located on the case at 10 o’clock. This is an essential feature for deep diving.
