What to know

Hanhart has given the Aquasphere a monochrome tool-watch treatment. The 42mm steel case mixes satin and polished surfaces around a matte-black dial and a unidirectional black ceramic bezel, while white luminous markings keep the display clear above and below water.

The case is 12.95mm thick, spans 49mm lug to lug and is rated to 30 bar. A helium valve supports saturation-diving use, and the bezel turns through 60 one-minute clicks. Inside is an automatic Sellita SW200-1 or Soprod movement with a stated 38-hour reserve.

The Matte Black is available on an elastic Hookstrap, FKM rubber with folding clasp or a quick-release steel bracelet with tool-free micro-adjustment. Its restrained colour scheme makes this the most understated Aquasphere, but the functional specification remains emphatically professional.
