HANHART PIONEER 417 ES 1954 CHRONOGRAPH

The 1954 model is the 39 mm version of the Pioneer 417 ES (42 mm). Of Course, everyone knows the very distinctive fluted bidirectional bezel with the red marking, but the 1954 model is packed with German technology. 

First up, is it's antimagnetic technology. The majority of mechanical watches produced today have an anti-magnetic rating of 4,800 A/m, which has proven challenging to block the magnetic effects from modern gadgets such as cell phones, tablets and other electronic equipment. Hanhart designed this new watch with more than three times the anti-magnetic protection to earn a rating of 16,000 A/m. To achieve this higher rating, Hanhart first changed the dial material from brass to soft iron and next they used a special type of steel both inside and outside of the case to act as a blocking agent. The result is a watch much less likely to require a watch demagnetizer to maintain accurate timekeeping.


Secondly, is its shock resistance technology. This watch features a new Hanhart shock resistance system to better stabilize and protect the movement. Hanhart has installed gaskets on the front and back of the movement holding ring which allow the movement to slightly move in the event of a drop, hit or other shock. This technology is not dissimilar to the way modern buildings are designed in earthquake prone regions to dampen the effects of those shocks.


Last but not least, Hanhart has designed special hands for this new watch. If you look closely, you'll notice that the tips of the hands are slightly bent downward to reduce the parallax effect from the domed sapphire crystal. The case is in stainless steel with brushed and polished finishes and is fitted with a fluted bi-directional rotating bezel with a red indicator. This bezel is friction fit as was the bezel on the original model.
