I had a chance to see this watch in person yesterday,and it was fantastic!....the case design and overall presentation was among the best I have seen....Hanhart has long been admired for their Pilot watches and this Primus Dive Chrono is a awesome addition to a line of watches that is truly amazing imho.ThumbsUp02.gif




In the past, Hanhart supplied the Navy with chronographs, including the single-button "Calibre 40", and stopwatches. Today naval officers, leisure sailors and divers wear wristwatches or use stopwatches from Hanhart both on and under the water. The striking fluted bezel with inlaid red marking of the Primus Diver is reminiscent of the design of the watch manufacturer's legendary chronographs and is realised as a concave, unidirectional rotating bezel featuring a scale for calculating the dive time. It can be adjusted to an anticlockwise direction and has a detent set in steps of a minute.
