Hanhart Austrian Air Force AW169M Limited Edition

Made in collaboration with the Austrian Air Force, the new Hanhart AW169M Limited Edition Chronograph is strictly limited to 50 pieces with a fluted bezel and 50 with a smooth bezel.

The Hanhart Austrian Air Force AW169M Automatic Chronograph boasts a dark green dial with the historic Hanhart logo and a depiction of propeller, which Leonardo da Vinci once sketched in his manuscripts as the “Helix Pteron”.

The name “Leonardo” also contains a connection to a leading Italian manufacturer of military helicopters, the AW169M, which today serve in the Austrian Armed Forces.

The new AUSTRIAN AIR FORCE AW169M Limited Edition has a 45 mm diameter case made of stainless steel.

The limited edition is produced as a single-pusher chronograph. This special version makes it possible to control all chronograph functions – start, stop and zero setting – with just a single pusher, and only in direct succession.

In contrast to its two-pusher counterpart, there is no option to restart the chronograph hands after stopping. When the pusher is pressed for the third time, the hands immediately return to their starting position. Hanhart has redesigned the automatic caliber used for this purpose in its own workshops.

The sub-dials for small seconds and the 30-minute counter are positioned on the dial’s periphery as in the past.

Reminiscent of the early precision timepieces of the German watch brand, the bold and detailed cathedral hands alongside Arabic numerals are coated with Super-LumiNova for enhanced legibility.

This mono-pusher chronograph houses the iconic automatic caliber ETA 7750 with a modification from La Joux-Perret. Secured with a screw-down stainless steel case back, the watch offers water resistance of up to 10 ATM.

The new Hanhart AUSTRIAN AIR FORCE AW169M Limited Edition is now available for 2,940 Euros including 19% VAT on a leather strap and for 3,140 Euros including 19% VAT on a steel bracelet.
