Horological Meandering

• Hanhart 417 BZ Green Body Limited Edition for 10:10 LABS
• 39 x 13.3 mm (46 mm lug-to-lug)
• Aluminum-bronze alloy (CuAl10Ni5Fe4), which takes longer to acquire patina, used for the case/crown/pushers with stainless steel solid caseback with 10:10 LABS logo
• Fluted, continuously rotatable bezel with red marking
• Green Sunray dial (Green Body influence) with Superluminova on hands and numerals. 
• Historical hanhart logo on dial and crown 
• Shockproof and Antimagnetic on the dial (similar to the original 417 ES)
• ‘Green Body’ describes the color used to paint WW2 aircraft fuselages because of the Lamp Black paste added over the Zinc-Chromate anti-corrosion primer pain. While the pastel of the Green Body and the Green Sunray dial differ, the idea of adding Green Body technology to reduce corrosion mirrors the reasoning behind adding aluminum to the bronze alloy of the case
• High-domed anti-reflective convex sapphire glass  
• Sellita SW510-M (28,800 VPH/4 Hz) cam-operated chronograph with hacking and jumping minute Chrono hand.
• 58 hr PR
• 10 bar water resistant according to DIN 8310
• 16,000 A/m magnetic resistance via soft iron cage
• Shock resistant via ‘damping mechanism ‘on the movement holding ring that absorbs shocks
• Black or dark brown cowhide leather strap with white stitching and a matching lower strap. Alcantara on the inside
• 10 pieces created exclusively for the 10:10 LABS watch club out of the Middle East

Still early in the honeymoon phase, but the bronze is very close in tone to yellow gold, and the bund strap is super comfortable. The cam-operated chrono activation is firm and enjoyable. I definitely pushed for a flyback chrono, but that option wasn’t available at an acceptable price point for the timepiece. Will report back on chronometry after a run-in period, and the aftermarket strap gears in my head are already turning. 

Thanks for looking 

Enjoy, seasons greetings to all, and stay safe
