When we think of Habring², two things come to mind: meticulous craftsmanship and a genuine love for the art of watchmaking. The Felix Sport, the latest creation from Richard and Maria Habring, reflects these values perfectly, marrying the precision of a hand-finished movement with a design that’s as versatile as it is understated.
At its core, the Felix Sport features the A11B, an in-house manual movement designed and produced by Habring². The A11 series has earned a reputation among watch enthusiasts for its reliability and technical brilliance, and the Felix Sport proudly carries that tradition forward. It’s a movement that’s not only built for accuracy but also for longevity, with 48 hours of power reserve and meticulous detailing, including polished edges and engravings that can be admired through the sapphire crystal case back.
But what truly sets this model apart is its striking blue dial. It’s one of those dials that doesn’t just sit static—it changes. As light catches it, the metallic surface shifts in tone, offering varying depths of color that make the watch feel alive on your wrist. It’s subtle but attention-grabbing, exactly what you’d expect from Habring². The lume-filled Arabic numerals and hands ensure legibility in all lighting conditions, while the small second sub-dial at 9 o’clock balances the layout without overloading the display.
The case itself, measuring 38.5mm in diameter, is perfect for those who prefer a more refined and comfortable fit on slimmer wrists. The polished steel, combined with a bevelled bezel, gives the Felix Sport a touch of elegance while keeping its robust sport credentials intact. It’s a watch you could wear anywhere, from casual weekend outings to more formal events.
One of the best features of the Felix Sport is its adaptability. While it comes with a sporty NATO strap that complements the vibrant blue dial, it can easily be dressed up with a leather strap for a more minimalist look. However, the playful personality of the NATO really highlights the sportier aspect of this watch.
There’s a refreshing simplicity to the Felix Sport. It doesn’t try too hard to be flashy or overcomplicated. Instead, it stays true to Habring²’s philosophy of delivering genuine craftsmanship and functionality. The Felix Sport isn’t just another watch in the collection—it’s a timepiece that feels personal, like something you’ll bond with the more you wear it.
It’s this blend of precision, elegance, and sportiness that makes the Felix Sport such a standout. It doesn’t scream for attention but commands it through the quiet confidence that only a carefully crafted watch can.
For those who appreciate the nuance of independent watchmaking, the Felix Sport by Habring² is a perfect companion. Whether you’re exploring the city or attending a formal event, it will never feel out of place, always offering a subtle reminder of the dedication and craftsmanship that went into its creation.
