Hanhart crafts a modern expression of its classic pilot watch out of quick-patinating bronze to capture the vintage feel of this timepiece. A calibre Sellita SW 510 manual-winding movement with a 48-hour power reserve also enhances the inner machinations of the Hanhart x The Rake & Revolution 417 Flieger Chronograph to usher the legendary pilot watch into a new era. The black dial that sits at the core of its 42mm bronze case is adorned with numerals that hearken back to the original edition of the 417 Flieger. The dial also houses an hours, minutes, and seconds counter at 9 o’clock and a 30-minute counter at 3 o’clock that are each powered by the Sellita chronograph movement.
Hanhart takes black leather inspired by its British heritage waxed cotton motorcycle jacket for the watch’s bracelet. The use of that material drives home the vintage charm of the timepiece by echoing the leather jackets worn by pilots of yesteryear who made the original incarnation of the Flieger Chronograph so legendary. Limited to 150 pieces, the Hanhart x The Rake & Revolution 417 Flieger Chronograph offers the rare opportunity to own a new take on a vintage timepiece that is sure to age every bit as well as the original.
