Finally the veil of mystery and intrigue is completely removed. Now we can look into the face of the new H1 Hydro Mechanical watch by HYT and not only to see the "face" (dial), but also to obtain the detailed information about the technical characteristics of the model, which the whole month was a real puzzle.
The HYT H1 Hydro Mechanical watch with an innovative liquid complication is not just an interesting toy. Fortunately all fears proved unfounded and the liquid does not play a minor and very necessary role, but count the time! And the most importantly time – by means of the arc with the green fluorescent liquid the HYT H1 Hydro Mechanical displays hours. Minutes are counted by the traditional hand on a small dial at the "12 o'clock" position. Seconds are counted by the rotor-shaped wheel, which is set at the “9:30" position.
The HYT H1 Hydro Mechanical watch will be presented at the exhibition BaselWorld 2012 not just as a prototype, but as a finished product, in three versions: in the case of titanium, 18K red gold and titanium in a black DLC-coating. The diameter of the case is a solid 48.8 mm and thickness of 17.9 mm. The dial is closed by a convex sapphire crystal. The position "2 o’clock" is occupied by the screw-down crown with logo in the form of letters H, protected by a special flange of the case.
Through the transparent case back of the watch is seen an exclusive mechanism HYT H1 Hydro Mechanical with manual winding. Its power reserve is 65 hours. The power reserve indicator with red scales is set close to the small minute dial at the 3 o’clock position. The mechanism has 35 jewels, the carrying frequency of 28 800 pc / hr. The movement of fluorescent liquid in a circular tube, rounded the dial, is under the influence of a pair of "pistons", installed at the bottom of the dial. Bridges of the caliber is beveled by hand and decorated with a pattern Cotes de Geneve, and the pistons of the liquid indication are covered with rhodium.
The HYT H1 Hydro Mechanical watch is delivered with combined gray strap of canvas and leather. The price of titanium model is 45 000 dollars.
