The Hanhart Aquasphere Dive Watch, now in Matte Black

The 42mm stainless steel case remains identical to the existing Aquasphere models , measuring 42mm in diameter, 12.95mm thick and 49mm lug-to-lug. Alternating satin-brushed, polished and matt-finished surfaces make the otherwise straightforward design more interesting. The black ceramic bezel rotates unidirectionally through 60 clicks and features Hanhart’s distinctive stencil numerals, with a red marker at 12 o’clock. The case is water-resistant to 300m, fitted with a screw-down crown protected by guards, a helium escape valve at 10 o’clock for saturation diving, and a screw-down caseback engraved with an underwater scene.

The news is the matt black dial. A silver-coloured rehaut frames it, the applied hour markers (Arabic at 12 o’clock) and the broad hands are filled with Super-LumiNova C1 GL X2. The central seconds hand receives a red tip, maintaining the brand’s recognisable colour accent.
