New versions of watches Pioneer Mk I, Mk II and TachyTele by Hanhart
The watch company Hanhart has announced a new version of the famous wristwatches Pioneer Mk I, Mk II and TachyTele with off-white dials.
Models Pioneer Mk I, Pioneer Mk II and TachyTele are designed on the base of the legendary chronographs by Hanhart, issued in 1930s. The company Hanhart is considered to be one of the pioneers in the manufacture of reliable, highly functional and precise chronograph. In 1938 the company created a single-button chronograph for naval officers on the base of the manufactory Calibre 40, a year later followed by a new gauge Calibre 41 with a column wheel and flyback function.
The new models will be presented by the company in 2012.
