Hanhart
417 ES Moby Dick

THE CHRONOGRAPH FOR DOCTORS AND OFFICERS

417 ES Moby Dick
The launch of the Hanhart 417 ES Moby Dick marks the return of another collector’s item among stop wristwatches. More than 60 years ago, its historical model served as a chronograph for officers and in the medical service. Today, it combines the classic design of yesteryear with the most advanced manufacturing techniques of our time. The result is a robust chronograph with a fascinating history, ready for everyday life and adventure.

TIMELESS WATCH

TRADITION IN DETAIL
A sharply drawn and highly polished bevel marks the transition from the satin-finished horns to the flanks. The fluted bezel, a typical stylistic feature of a Hanhart, rotates continuously in both directions. The position marker on the Moby Dick is not red, however, but matches the color of the dial. Like the rest of the design, the details on the dial are reminiscent of the historical model from the 1950s.
SWISS-MADE QUALITY

PRECISION CALIBER
To ensure that our latest stopwatch not only looks good, but also runs precisely, the reliable hand-wound SW510 caliber in the best Swiss Made quality works behind the screw-down stainless steel case back. In addition to the stop-seconds function, it offers a power reserve of at least 48 hours when fully wound.

DARKNESS? NO PROBLEM

SUPER LUMINOVA®
The hands and numerals of the Hanhart 417 ES Moby Dick are coated with Super-LumiNova® to ensure optimum readability by day and night.
SIMPLE BUT CHIC

CASE BACK
The deliberately simple screw-down case back is adorned with the historic Hanhart logo and the consecutive serial number engraved on the side.

CONTEMPORARY SIZE, MAXIMUM WEARING COMFORT
Despite the heavily domed sapphire crystal, we have retained a height of just 13.3 mm. Our aim was to make the 417 ES Moby Dick as slim as possible in order to achieve a present but not disproportionate appearance on the wrist.

THE ICON FROM THE PAST

THE LEGENDARY 417
In the past, the 417 was intended to combine robustness, reliability and readability in one watch. Originally designed as a pilot’s chronograph, there was also a version with a white dial and blued hands for use in the navy and medical service.
The original historical model, of which only very few pieces still exist worldwide, is known among collectors as the Moby Dick. The few surviving examples of the historic 417 ES Moby Dick are now coveted vintage chronographs for collectors.

UNIQUE COLORS

THERMALLY BLUED HANDS
The thermally blued hands give the 417 ES Moby Dick a special effect. Depending on the light, the color changes in a fascinating way.

10 BAR WATER RESISTANCE

HAND-WOUND
The historic 417 was also wound by hand, although its range of action was severely restricted due to its limited water resistance. That is why our new 417 ES Moby Dick can withstand pressures of up to 10 bar.
