What to know
The 417 TI Desert Pilot takes Hanhart’s historic pilot-chronograph shape into new material territory. Its matte 42mm case is made from Grade 5 titanium, a first for the 417 line, and frames a sand-coloured dial beneath a strongly domed sapphire crystal.
The hand-wound Sellita AMT 5100 M uses a column wheel and flyback mechanism, allowing the chronograph to reset and restart with one press. Hanhart specifies a 58-hour power reserve, 10-bar water resistance and its additional movement shock protection. A sapphire caseback reveals the calibre.
A textured sand-coloured FKM rubber strap and titanium pin buckle complete the technical look. Hanhart also offers a 39mm version; each size is limited to 200 pieces, giving collectors a choice of proportions without changing the core mechanical package.
