LIMITED TO 200 PIECES 417 ES Mocha Flyback Date With the new 417 ES Mocha Flyback Date, Hanhart presents an exclusive edition in collaboration with Porsche Driver magazine that unites two worlds that could hardly be more different at first glance - and yet share the same DNA: a passion for precision, character and timeless design. What began in the Black Forest with precision watchmaking finds its counterpart in the world of motorsport - where technology, performance and style merge into an emotional unity. The 417 ES Mocha Flyback Date builds precisely this bridge between tradition and modernity, between analog perfection and vibrant driving culture. It combines the iconic design of the historic 417 ES, once built for pilots, with contemporary watchmaking at the highest level - a chronograph that breathes history, embodies passion and carries the future. DATE WINDOW AT 6 O’CLOCK A STATEMENT IN MOCHA The dial in elegant mocha brown with applied white numerals captures the character of classic sports car interiors. A smooth bezel gives the watch elegant, flowing lines. The 42 mm stainless steel case (height: 13.5 mm) combines satin-finished and polished surfaces, protected by a high-domed sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating on the inside and a transparent back that reveals the finely decorated movement. The date window at 6 o'clock is harmoniously integrated into the symmetrical dial design - functional, discreet and stylish. VISIBLE THROUGH SAPPHIRE CRYSTAL CASEBACK MECHANICS AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL Inside is the hand-wound AMT5100 M movement from Sellita's Manufacture AMT department - a classic switching wheel caliber with flyback function, date, small seconds, 30-minute counter and a power reserve of 58 hours. The movement beats at 4 Hertz (28,800 vibrations per hour), is shockproof and is carefully regulated in the Hanhart manufactory - with an accuracy of 0 to 8 seconds per day. Robust, precise and built for enthusiasts who love mechanical perfection. SYMBOL WITH HISTORY THE RED PUSHER As with other Hanhart pilot's chronographs, the 417 ES Mocha Flyback Date is also equipped with the distinctive red pusher - a trademark with deep meaning. Legend has it that a pilot's mistress once painted the chronograph pusher red so that he would always remember her on a mission and return safely. Historically, however, the red color served a practical purpose: it was intended to protect pilots from accidentally resetting the stop time - particularly important for watches with a flyback function, which allows the time measurement to be restarted immediately with just one press. Today, the red HyCeram® pusher stands for Hanhart's combination of tradition, safety and iconic style - a detail with soul. LEATHER STRAP OR STEEL BRACELET COMFORT AND STYLE ON THE WRIST The watch is available with either a dark brown calfskin strap with Alcantara on the inside or a stainless steel bracelet. The leather strap has a historic lower band that is reminiscent of the pilot's watches of the 1960s and 70s. Originally, however, this lower band was not just for stylistic reasons: In the early days of pilot's chronographs, many cases were made of copper or brass alloys, which could cause irritation if they came into contact with the skin. The lower band protected the wrist from this direct contact - a functional solution that lives on today as an aesthetic detail with history. Thanks to the quick-change system on the bars, the lower band can now be removed in a matter of seconds - for maximum flexibility between a classic vintage look and modern simplicity.
