Hanhart goes swimming
By Tom Hargreaves, Falmouth, Cornwall ยท
Hanhart is a chronograph brand first, so I was curious about the Aquasphere. It's a 42 mm diver, 300 m, with a helium escape valve and a black ceramic bezel insert.
The black dial is simple, with skeleton hands and big lumed indices. The Sellita SW200-1 gives 38 hours, and the date sits at 3. The bezel has a fluted edge, a nod to the brand's chronographs.
Grumble: the helium valve is mostly for show at this price, and 38 hours is short for a modern diver.
At about $1,900 to $2,000 it's a well-specified diver from a brand with history. Worth a look if you like the Hanhart style.
