The new nickel-free HDS ProВ® stainless steel from Hanhart watch company

Hanhart is nowadays the only watch brand in the world to use special kind of nickel-free stainless steel for their wrist chronograph cases' production. This stainless steel is finished in a specific way, making it firmer and thus increasing its scratch resistance by 10000%. Using this way of treatment is patented for watch- and jewellery-making under the brand name of HDS Pro®.
Hanhart watch company is an undisputed leader in producing robust and hard-wearing instrument watches for being used in air, on land and in water. Under extreme circumstances such timepieces can be exposed to high levels of stress, yet reliably and safely helping its owner to overcome the difficulties he can face on his way. This is the reason why the German-Swiss brand has opted for using the HDS Pro® stainless steel for producing its mechanical chronograph cases' in future, becoming the first manufacturer in the watchmaking industry to use this unique fusion. The HDS Pro® stainless steel possesses a unique combination of hardness, corrosion resistance and nickel-free composition.
The innovative finishing technique gives the wrist watch surface the structure, which is no fewer than 3 times as firm as the previously used materials. Compared to the previously used stainless steel variations, this stainless steel is 100-fold better scratch-resistant, which is 10000%. This means that men's wrist watches from Hanhart, used in extreme circumstances and aggressive environments will look just as new even after years of wearing.
Apart from the outstanding scratch resistance, the stainless steel, finished this way possesses highest levels of corrosion resistance, making it comparable to any highest quality stainless steel in this factor. Due to the fact, that this stainless steel is not coated while finishing, its initial structure and feel stays untouched and, moreover, the chance of chipping any layer of coating during the process of finishing is eliminated. The last in the list, but not in meaning is the fact, that the HDS Pro® stainless steel contains no nickel in its structure, which makes all watch cases, produced of this material, absolutely hypoallergenic.
First German-Swiss Hanhart wrist watches with cases, produced of the nickel-free scratch-resistant HDS Pro® stainless steel, will be produced this year and you'll be able to buy watches with cases, made of this variety of steel, from the company's official representatives in your country.
