Up close with the Hentschel H2 Hamburg Botschafter Bronze Automatic

This is a model I have not yet shared photos of, the Hentschel H2 'Hamburg Botschafter' Automatic: 






As you can see from the first photo the watch features some nice details... heat blued hands and the red 12 give it a distinct look, the central seconds hand adds to the appeal. The watch is powered by a 3Hz automatic movement based on a AS calibre from the 1960s.









The H2 case, which you have seen before, has a diameter of 38.5mm, crafted in a special Bronze alloy that does not build patina as you probably know from various other bronze watches, and has a nice brushed finish. The slightly domed dial sits below curved hands and a domed sapphire crystal.











I’ll close with two more photos, one of them being a wristshot, hope you enjoyed the short introduction πŸ˜‰







Have a great weekend everyone!

Cheers 
Henrik

... I took one photo of the backside, but not a close up and not with the loupe system, so the quality is not good. The case back is made of steel to have as little as possible skin contact of the bronze. I will take close ups of the movement next time, a...  

Just with an iphone?
