Hanhart Launch FLY NAVY Aerosphere Special Limited Edition

A new special edition, limited to just 300 pieces, has been added to the collection of the Black Forest watch manufacturer Hanhart: the FLY NAVY Aerosphere.

The significant connection between Hanhart and aviation goes back a long way in history. In aviation, automatic pilot’s watches had to withstand extreme vibrations, enormous temperature fluctuations, great differences in altitude and fluctuating weather conditions – challenges that the air force is still fa-miliar with today.

The new FLY NAVY Aerosphere combines precision and tradition with various maritime details. According to Greek mythology, the second hand shows the trident of Poseidon, the god of the sea, which can also be found on the coat of arms of the naval aviation squadron (Marinefliegergeschwader) 3 ‘Graf Zeppelin’.

Either the coat of arms of the MFG3 ‘Graf Zeppelin’ or the MFG5 coat of arms is embossed on the screw-down case back and can be in-dividually selected. To complete the unique details of the marine watch, the naval aviator command logo is depicted on the navy blue dial and on the screw-in crown of the chronograph.

The coats of arms embossed on the case back symbolise cohesion and solidarity. In the coat of arms of the MFG3, the affiliation to the naval aviators is symbolised by the wing and the anchor in the middle. The five stars symbolise the five virtues of fidelity, courage, broad-mindedness, reliability and endurance. The MFG5 coat of arms contains water, sea eagle, anchor and wing as elements and has been in this form since 2013. The head of the sea eagle has the meaning of maintaining sovereignty over the airspace above the sea.

The limited edition FLY NAVY Aerosphere is available with a blue Hook Strap textile strap, which ensures optimum wearing comfort for every wrist. Alternatively, the new edition is available with a stainless steel strap. The special edition is a chic watch for a relaxing beach holiday and is also a reliable timepiece for challenging tasks in the naval forces.

The font of the numerals on the bezel, which can be rotated in one direction with 60 clicks, has been designed in standard font – this is intended to emphasise perfect legibility.

The FLY NAVY Aerosphere has a water resistance of up to 30 bar (approx. 300 meters) to ensure that it is ideally equipped for use on and in the water. The suitability of this new watch for divers is underlined by a helium valve located on the case at 10 o’clock. This is an essential feature for deep diving.

The new, limited FLY NAVY Aerosphere is available in both variants 150 times each.
