Hanhart launches the new Fly Navy Aerosphere Limited Edition

German watchmaker Hanhart is adding a new model to its collection, the Fly Navy Aerosphere, a diver's watch for naval aviators. Price from €1,490

German watchmaker Hanhart is adding a new model to its collection, the Fly Navy Aerosphere Limited Edition.

Presented in a limited edition of 300 pieces, this new diver's watch designed for the naval aviation comes in a 42 mm x 12.95 mm case in brushed and polished stainless steel equipped with a helium valve on the left side of the caseband at 10 o'clock. It guarantees water resistance up to a pressure of 30 ATM (300 metres / 990 feet).

The fluted unidirectional rotating bezel, which has 60 clicks, features a navy blue ceramic insert with a 60-minute graduation to measure the diving time or any other event/mission. 

The screw-down crown is shielded by two protective guards and decorated with the coat of arms of the naval aviation command (Marinefliegergeschwader).

Protected by a domed sapphire crystal with internal anti-reflective coating, the navy blue dial features large skeletonised hour and minute hands along with a central seconds hand characterised by a yellow counter-weight shaped like the trident of Poseidon, the god of the sea according to Greek mythology.

The touch of yellow is completed by the coat of arms of the naval aviation squadron at 6 o'clock.

Indices and hands, along with the triangle, indices and numerals on the bezel insert, are filled with Super-Luminova that glows green in low-light environments.

The Fly Navy Aerosphere Limited Edition is available in two variations of 150-piece each differing for the decoration of the screw-down solid caseback.

Either the coat of arms of the MFG3 ‘Graf Zeppelin’ or the MFG5 coat of arms can be chosen. 

In the coat of arms of the MFG3, the affiliation to the naval aviators is symbolised by the wing and the anchor in the middle. The five stars symbolise the five virtues of fidelity, courage, broad-mindedness, reliability and endurance. 

The MFG5 coat of arms contains water, sea eagle, anchor and wing as elements and has been in this form since 2013. The head of the sea eagle has the meaning of maintaining sovereignty over the airspace above the sea.

Inside, a reliable Swiss-made Sellita SW 200 automatic movement with hacking seconds and date beats at the frequency of 4 Hz (28,800 vibrations per hour) with a power reserve of 38 hours. 

The limited edition Fly Navy Aerosphere is available with a blue Hook Strap textile strap, which ensures optimum wearing comfort for every wrist. Alternatively, the new edition is available with a stainless steel strap equipped with a folding clasp with diving extension and fine adjustment option. The lug width is 20 mm.

The new Hanhart Fly Navy Aerosphere Limited Edition, MFG3 or MFG5, has a retail price of €1,490 on a textile strap or €1,690 on a steel bracelet. hanhart.com
