HYT T1 Series
HYT, a pioneer in the field of hydro-mechanical watches, presents T1 Series to mark the 12th anniversary of the Neuchâtel-based brand. Incorporating the revolutionary hydro-mechanical technology, this new collection marries a sleek horology aesthetic.
Representing a significant evolution, HYT’s new T1 Series offers more refined and ergonomic design for optimum comfort. With the unprecedented, more compact diameter of 45mm, this new watch stands out with an octagonal shape and subtly faceted sides.
For the first time in its history, the brand introduces a fully enclosed dial, designed to achieve absolute harmony. The HYT T1 is now available in salmon, silver, anthracite gray and midnight blue dial versions. Depending upon the model, the dial is paired with blue or black tinted fluids.
The HYT T1 Series collection is now offering two masterfully manufactured case variations: one in titanium and DLC titanium, and the other in 5N gold complemented by DLC titanium.
The salmon, anthracite, and silver dials offer a unique contrast with the titanium and DLC titanium case, while the exquisitely elegant case in 5N gold and DLC titanium stylishly enhances the midnight blue watch face.
The watch features a domed ‘bell’ sapphire crystal, treated with an antireflective coating. The open caseback, secured with screws, features an antireflective sapphire crystal to offer a clear view of the intricate workings inside.
Here, the HYT’s mechanism is powered by the two hallmark pistons that regulate the movement of fluids under the impulses of the manually wound caliber 501-CM, itself composed of 352 parts.
Thoughtfully designed for ergonomics and positioned at 2 o’clock, the torque crown – either in titanium and DLC titanium or in 5N gold and titanium DLC with a satin and micro-blasted finish – ensures water resistance up to 50 meters.
The time display, specific to HYT and calibrated for 12 hours, combines the fluidic hour indication – via the liquid-filled glass capillary along an outboard scale from 6 o’clock to 6 o’clock – with a mechanical minute indication via a central hand sweeping around an inboard minute track.
Specifically, a tinted liquid progressively fills the capillary, marking the hour against the outboard scale along the dial’s flange. After 12 hours, as it reaches the 6 o’clock position on the right, the tinted liquid retrogrades to its starting point at 6 o’clock on the other side.
For a precise reading of the time, the minute markers are displayed in Arabic numerals around a dedicated sector on the dial.
The exclusive HYT manufacture caliber beats at 28,800 vibrations per hour, with a 72-hour power reserve indicator at 2 o’clock.
Each reference is offered with two interchangeable rubber straps, each with its own buckle. Black being the standard, an additional strap is offered for each reference (blue BL 287-A for the silver dial, anthracite GR094 for the salmon and anthracite dials, and dark blue P259A for the 5N gold version). Additional strap options include white, light gray and light blue.
Thanks to the innovative interchangeable strap system, the strap can readily be clicked in and out by pressing a push-button located on the back in the case middle, precluding inadvertent release.
The rubber strap is equipped with a titanium pin buckle (PVD titanium on the 5N gold/titanium model).
