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.

Technical details
Movement: HAN38 modified automatic chronograph movement (bicompax), based on the Valjoux 7750 calibre; 28,800 vibrations per hour, 4 Hz; 28 jewels; rotor with a skeletonised, incised Hanhart logo; power reserve of min. 42 hours
Functions:
Small seconds at 9 o'clock, 30-minute counter at 3 o'clock, date display at 6 o'clock
Case:
Stainless steel; anodised aluminium red button; fluted, concave, unidirectional rotating bezel with inlaid red marking; convex, internally anti-reflective sapphire glass; screwed-down, internally anti-reflective sapphire glass case back; screw-in crown; flexible lugs (angle of 45°-50°); diameter 44 mm, height 15 mm; water-resistance to 100 m/10 bar
Dial:
Black; with Super-LumiNova®-coated, luminous Arabic numerals, index marks, hands and orange auxiliary dials for small seconds and 30-minute counter
Strap:
Vulcanised rubber with moulded Hanhart logo, non-allergenic; folding clasp with inlaid red marking (anodised aluminium) made from stainless steel

Very cool looking dive chrono Oscar.  thumbsup.gif

I don't have any experience with the Hanhart brand (pilot or diver)...looks like a great piece and I do really like the size and the finish options available from ss to dlc to rose gold, and the the red anodized aluminum pusher is a cool design detail.   

...stressing the 'dive chrono' part of the equation, I do wish the specification side offered at least a 200m water-resistance rating...bummer...but, I do really like many of the unique design elements with this one.

Looks like a good one. Colors are just the right mix on an active dial. Thanks for sharing, Oscar.

Beautiful watch and I love their pilot watches as well.

I'm not even going to look at the price, I'll just dream.
