That’s very nice to see a Hanhart on your channel! I live in Villingen Schwenningen (the first town of Hanhart in Germany) and the second place Gütenbach is only couple of minutes away from me. Really appreciate watching this! 😄
flip the question: "what's this 20th century thing that's cool because Steve McQueen owned it" I love the single pusher Hanharts, desperately want a white-dial one.
The increasingly distressed call for subscribes makes me feel like the executives are threatening Mr. Hands to shut down the channel if it doesn't do well enough. Oh well.
It’s so sad to see that happen, I remember he got me into watches and literally brought me out of a dark spot I really hope that doesn’t happen, you can hear that he seems less, I don’t know?... motivated?
I own this watch and can tell you that the looks of it in the metal will blow you away. The Bund strap is very comfortable and is not bulky on the wrist.
I had just finished reading an article about Steve McQueens watches when this come up & i had just learnt one of his favourite watches was a Hanhart. Wonder if at auction it would fetch as much as his Valjoux powered Rolex!
Great to see that you feature not only A Hanhart but THE Hanhart of the modern era here on the channel! I absolutely love this piece as it's extremely reasonably priced and so true to its original (even the crown, caseback as well as the strap does feature the historic Hanhart logo instead of the contemporary one). I was able to buy one with one of the first 10 (!) serial numbers as the new 417 ES has an unique and endlessly ongoing serial number. And I really love it! The handwound movement is a pleasure to wind and the thinness are my favorites about this watch. Thanks a lot for highlighting this piece! The people at Hanhart do really deserve it.
@@kostar500 That was one of the things I thought too. I was expecting the price to be outside the realms of mortal man given the finish of the watch. I can see myself getting one.
I just got the 39mm version a week ago. I usually prefer the larger watches and was going to get the 42mm but two things made me go for the 39mm, 1. It is more authentic so yeah... and 2. 20mm lugwidth. The watch itself is absolutely gorgeous and amazing value. I am utterly pleased with it. It's been out over a year now and mine still has a sub 500 serial number.
@@keefw361 I got the standard 39mm 417. I have little practical use for a stopwatch in 2024 let alone a more fancy one. I just love the look and the history. Fits perfectly on my 7" wrist.
German watch makers do really place utility, functionality, quality and above all uniqueness to their time pieces. I own a Rolex GMT II and a Sinn U 1 fully tegimented. All day long i take the functionality and toughness of my Sinn U1.
I have this watch in the bronze Rake/Revolution iteration and it is both an outstanding reference and an outstanding value proposition. I have had/have other Parmigiani, Cartier, Omega, Tudor and Fortis Cosmonaut chronographs and the Hanhart holds up well by comparison as, like the B-42 Cosmonaut, it is built as an honest dedicated tool watch and not as a fashion item. Fancified pilot type chronographs are the province of watch company marketing departments. Real pilot watches are on the order of this Hanhart - simple and uncomplicated to use or repair.
Count me in as a proud owner of the Rake & Revolution Bronze. I can guarantee that if I had not been able to get my hands of one, I would definitely go for this ES. Amazing watch and amazingly good price!
Hanhart vintage wartime chronographs are an absolute collectible for military watch enthusiasts. Astoundingly similar to the modern Hanhart bi-compax designs besides the cathedral hands. It is a grail watch I dream of owning one day.
Haha, I bet I know, that was me (besides SteveMcQ)! It is funny that You've published Your video today, because for some reason I have decided to wear this very watch today, too! As soon as I knew it is being released in April, I have pre-ordered it in late 2020. Gorgeous flieger. Not sure You've mentioned that the pot-shaped glass on this watch is a sapphire, not plexiglass. Very satisfying calfskin strap, leather packaging. I just wish that the crown would be grippier (the same problem with Seagull 1963 pilot watches) - it is quite narrow and sits close to the case, and in case of this particular strap it interferes a bit with that lower leather piece. Not a problem at all, just push that leather piece a bit further away while operating the crown.
I made my deposit for this watch last week, CANNOT wait until I get it in July! The fact that you are making this video now, just makes me even more excited!
@@lonewolfemcquade8133 I went through WatchBuys and I had to put down a $800 non-refundable deposit. It seems they have 3 batches per year, with the latest one being July-August and after that November-December.
@@lankysudanese Yeah, flybacks are not the cheapest complication. They although a less mundane and not extremely expensive complication. I wouldnt mind it for the authentic value, but I would question buying the replica over the OG at that price.
And that’s why I love this channel 😌. Great video, awesome watch. More videos like this please. Good to know we don’t just live in a Rolex/Omega/Tudor world.
This model is based on the postwar version in steel (McQueen’s). The actual Fliegers by Hanhart made during the war were different, all in brass cases, and there are 4 different types. They still run marvellously.
As usual, a brilliant review. Amazing really that this brand steeped in history is so little known about. Ive hankered after the Breitling avi since its re release a few years back and now this truly authentic pilots watch has sneakek in and put a spanner in the works. This watch thing in my head is infuriating 😅
Last time I looked on the website you are going to have to wait a while, it looks like they do a "production run" every couple of months or so. Hanhart will respond to an email query and give you the latest situation. I registered my interest and had to wait just under 2 months. The wait was worth it, and Hanhart didn't take my money when I ordered, only doing so when the watch was ready to be sent. They kept me fully advised regarding production and shipping. It is a really lovely watch, and I'm very happy with it. I have no affiliation with Hanhart other than being a satisfied customer. Oh, and Steve McQueen chose a Hanhart to wear when he was part of the official USA team which competed in the ISDT. (International Six Day Trial) in the early 60's.
Being a somewhat of a Steve McQueen aficionado I believe he got his Hanhart watch while dirt bike racing in Germany in the 60’s as part of an American international team. I have many watches associated with Steve McQueen through his movies. A 1940’s Rolex Oyster Speedking, re The Great Escape. Several, Vietnam military issued watches re the Bullitt movie & the vintage Hanhart was on my radar until they skyrocketed in price over the last few years in particular.😱😭Can’t win em all. Having said that, I have this one on my radar as it’s aesthetically a beautiful reproduction of that era.👍🏼😎
@@andrewd7586 good luck on your hunt I lovevintage Heuer but not a fan of Tag heuer. It's always nice 👌 running into a fellow Steve Maqueen fan 😀 he was the MAN. Im watching The Thomas crown 👑 affair as we speak.
@@lonewolfemcquade8133 Well I watched Bullitt then The Great Escape last Sunday!😎🤤🤣👍🏻 He definitely was the man & The King Of Cool! He left a huge legacy didn’t he? 👊🏻
Because of your tube review: #1 first time i heard about the watch, #2 as allways, your vids are excellent, so the result was pretty predictable, i totally fell in love with this beautifull watch, #3 yesterday, i bought the watch, thank you watchfinder.
I’ve always been curious about this brand, so thank you for all the historical details. Says allot about them as a brand that they haven’t cashed in on the McQueen connection. Too bad about this watch’s size, however.
Cora 1985 I bought a Tutima 1941 Flieger with the Swiss 23 jewels Valjoux 7760 movement. The bezel rotates and it has cathedral hands. The bracelet is rather heavy and is assembled from over a hundred steel links. Of all my watches, this one gets the most complements, especially from the ladies.
You are awesome in talking. Excellent presentation. Great work. If I didn't come across your channel I wouldn't be able to know these details about watch.
I bought No 1138 Flieger Pilot Chronograph years ago because of Hartmann not McQueen. Love the watch. This re-issue is a beauty too. Might have to jump in on that.
I suggest to present the "Replika" of the early twothousends with the bead blasted case, the 7751 and the offset chronograph pusher at two o'clock too!
A great video! I think I should try and have a look at one of these in the flesh and try one on. Well I have a TAG Heuer Monaco, I still have a motorcycle so why not add a Hanhart 417 ES. Oh and I probably resemble a stale Victoria sponge more than I do Steve McQueen. Ho hum.
Great to hear more about the quality micrbrands which exist today....i for one prefer to support the small volume manufacturers.... Keep the videos coming!
The new batch is due for delivery in July. I'll bet there will be nil left over, especially after reviews like this one. Yes, maybe slightly oversized, but maybe Hanhart's research suggested making it so? Agree, the price is a very attractive draw, not being a flyback a slight negative point. It is certainly a very attractive looking watch. Personally, can't wait......
Agreed -"fishing" to lure us into watching the vid. I watch anyway, as the subjects are usually of interest. It would be quite interesting to know just where the late "King of Cool's" Hanhart ended up? We're not talking celeb Rolex Daytono Cosmograph money, but I guess there would be a premium. Hanhart, Breguet or the proposed new Airain ?? Tough call! ...but you could buy them all for less than Rolex money. Think I'd take the trifecta....
I have an old vintage one and roam around this new one for quite awhile now, but still haven't jumped on it. Imo one of the nicest bang for bucks you can get currently.
I would highly recommend Hanhart as I inherited one of their 30 sec Stopwatches from the 50s ( my dad got it in the army while stationed in W.Germany) which needed a part unfortunately no longer in tool, although he gave some suggestions which allowed me to fix it. I ended up conversing with Herr Wallner ...the CEO no less! What a brilliant example of customer service he gave. At the time (and still) I am hankering after their Minos Stahl watch...one day, one day🤞🤞🤞 Highly recommended
I don’t know about German customer service in general, but German watch brands are fantastic at it. Once, I was looking for a specific Laco that was discontinued, when I stumbled upon it on eBay I decided to take my chances and reach out to Laco to see what they thought of it. They checked out the photos and the serial number, and told me to go for it. Even though I wasn’t technically a customer and given the fact that they were not getting anything from the transaction, I was pleasantly surprised by their service!
Steve McQueen had the role of a captured pilot in The Great Escape - 1963 and most likely the producers added the watch to improve the appearance of said pilot. Surely Mr. McQueen like it, and what's not to like, kept it afterwards. Those years, he was a legend, producers had no sway on the stars. A similar and equally affordable and underrated is the Omega Dynamic. The Rolex ref in the title was unnecessary and a bit click bait like, the channel's war vs Rolex goes on...
Lovely piece, Andrew. Wish you’d had the nerve to flout some of the copywrite issues and shown some of the images of the Cincinnati Kid with his Hanhart.
Does he have a watch on in the Cincinnati Kid??? I don't think he does. The only watch that is shown in that film 🎥 is Edward G Robinson s Patek Philippe pocket watch
I would say the Submariner since he wore that the MOST the Monaco he only wore for Lemans a shame he never wore the Hanhart in a film 🎥 he also wore a Benrus military watch in Bullit
@@lonewolfemcquade8133 I tend agree however for me its not all about Rolex, I find it very interesting that he had the financial capabilities to obtain almost any watch he fancied. He must have had that fizz most of us feel when seeing the next watch all be it Rolex or other this why I find this subject interesting different things move different people in different ways.
@@joshuaphillips8408 for me it's vintage Rolex Submariners and Daytonas all the way. The new ones don't feel like tool watches anymore . I do have a Explorer 1 but I like many companies in the watch industry and definitely will be adding a Hanhart eventually. I'll only get the 417 if they make it smaller 40mm or 39mm like the original. If not I'll get 1 of the other pioneer models
@@lonewolfemcquade8133 I am with you on the Vintage Rolex's, The Daytona is a real stunner a proper watch in my book. Well done with obtaining the Explorer 1 again another lovely watch from Rolex, I am into all brands from Graham and dare I say the word TAG... I have 2 a Tag Heuer 2000 Series "my first watch" and the F1 gulf edition a long with micro brands. The watch I am looking for me has to give me that fizz..vintage Subs defiantly do that all day long. I just don't like the new sub not because of what it is, its because of what it is beginning to represent? The Hanhart 417 is on the list.....;-)
@@joshuaphillips8408 yup just a status symbol watch that's all a dam shame really Tag Heuer has some nice stuff but I would love a vintage Heuer Autaiva or Carrera. I love Jack Heuer era of Heuer. I even like Doxa and are on my radar the Sharkhunter s are awesome
I own an older Sub - 20 years old to be exact. I also own this BB58 Blue. I've always felt the Sub should remain in SS but that's just a purist opinion. BB58 is a great watch and I enjoy it thoroughly for the reasons you've outlined here. Simple, perfect size really, and a good value.
I tune in, then tune out. You are too bloody clever. Fantastic knowledge. You're conversations are so intelligent, so funny. I can't keep up. I have a thought is was genuine, a Camel Trophy, works, but junk/fake. 2, no less Richard Mille, in my possession. China just copy?
Reminds me on some of the details of my Breitling navitimer ref 806 1959. Much cleaner dial One less sundial but similar. Both pilots watches with no frills. But I could buy four of these for what the Navitimer cost me two years ago. Really a great watch for the 💰.

He's just generally the coolest guy of the era.

Watching this channel has began to cost me a lot of money recently. Saved by a couple of millimeters this time. Phew! ;)
Hard for me to choose between this or the sinn 356.. both have merits
Lovely piece, Andrew. Wish you’d had the nerve to flout some of the copywrite issues and shown some of the images of the Cincinnati Kid with his Hanhart.
Does he have a watch on in the Cincinnati Kid??? I don't think he does. The only watch that is shown in that film 🎥 is Edward G Robinson s Patek Philippe pocket watch
Interesting choice to take 'anti-magnetic' off the dial while leaving 'shockproof' like it's something special every modern watch isn't doing.
Yes. I like this new rendition over the original.
Excellent Watch indeed! The Hanhart PIONEER TwinDicator is stunning as well!
Great review very interesting to find out what watch Steve McQueen actually favoured on his wrist.
I would say the Submariner since he wore that the MOST the Monaco he only wore for Lemans a shame he never wore the Hanhart in a film 🎥 he also wore a Benrus military watch in Bullit
@@lonewolfemcquade8133 I tend agree however for me its not all about Rolex, I find it very interesting that he had the financial capabilities to obtain almost any watch he fancied. He must have had that fizz most of us feel when seeing the next watch all be it Rolex or other this why I find this subject interesting different things move different people in different ways.
@@joshuaphillips8408 for me it's vintage Rolex Submariners and Daytonas all the way. The new ones don't feel like tool watches anymore . I do have a Explorer 1 but I like many companies in the watch industry and definitely will be adding a Hanhart eventually. I'll only get the 417 if they make it smaller 40mm or 39mm like the original. If not I'll get 1 of the other pioneer models
@@lonewolfemcquade8133 I am with you on the Vintage Rolex's, The Daytona is a real stunner a proper watch in my book. Well done with obtaining the Explorer 1 again another lovely watch from Rolex, I am into all brands from Graham and dare I say the word TAG... I have 2 a Tag Heuer
2000 Series "my first watch" and the F1 gulf edition a long with micro brands. The watch I am looking for me has to give me that fizz..vintage Subs defiantly do that
all day long. I just don't like the new sub not because of what it is, its because of what it is beginning to represent? The Hanhart 417 is on the list.....;-)
@@joshuaphillips8408 yup just a status symbol watch that's all a dam shame really Tag Heuer has some nice stuff but I would love a vintage Heuer Autaiva or Carrera. I love Jack Heuer era of Heuer. I even like Doxa and are on my radar the Sharkhunter s are awesome
I have a Poljot that looks almost identical to this. Never knew it was an homage
Very very beautiful as good as anything from IWC And co. having watch the video I’ve decided to go and have a look how are you buy one
I own an older Sub - 20 years old to be exact. I also own this BB58 Blue. I've always felt the Sub should remain in SS but that's just a purist opinion. BB58 is a great watch and I enjoy it thoroughly for the reasons you've outlined here. Simple, perfect size really, and a good value.
Just checked the Hanhart website. "Available from May 2022". Form an orderly queue here please....you will not be disappointed!
I tune in, then tune out. You are too bloody clever. Fantastic knowledge. You're conversations are so intelligent, so funny. I can't keep up. I have a thought is was genuine, a Camel Trophy, works, but junk/fake. 2, no less Richard Mille, in my possession. China just copy?
This, over a Longine Big Eye, any day. And that's saying a lot because the Longine is very nice.
Absolutely fantastic
can you also do a review on Tutima?
Reminds me on some of the details of my Breitling navitimer ref 806 1959. Much cleaner dial One less sundial but similar. Both pilots watches with no frills. But I could buy four of these for what the Navitimer cost me two years ago. Really a great watch for the 💰.
With a Silitta movement not the same watch as the Hanhart of old.
I Love This Channel. Just one more question. Are you an auctioneer nights and weekends?? You'd be Good!!🎩🇺🇸🎩🇺🇸🎩
Best watch videos in the world 😍
Cool watch and good price, the “23 jewels” under the logo is a bit out of place….
I JUST bitched about this in regards to the Patek 5170(g) - NO Tachymeter...
$2,130.00 is a "bargain watch?" Yeah, for Bill Gates or Warren Buffet, or Zuckerberg. Jeez!
