Hanhart Preventor HD12 Blue Dial Leather Strap

3 Week Delivery

After more than two years of intensive development, Hanhart proudly presents the new Preventor HD12. With the introduction of the exclusive HD12 steel, the manufacturer from the Black Forest is setting a new benchmark in terms of the scratch resistance of its cases. As an extension of the popular PIONEER collection, the Preventor HD12 fulfils the desire for a 3-hand model with central seconds and a more compact diameter of 39 mm. The water resistance of 15 ATM and a screw-down crown make the new Hanhart watch the perfect everyday companion.

Developed for heavy use: HD12 hardened steel
The new HD12 steel from Hanhart achieves an exceptional surface hardness without compromising the corrosion resistance of the stain-less steel. This innovative material is being used for the first time in Hanhart's company history for the case of the new Preventor HD12 watch.
Hanhart combines two high-tech processes in the elaborate, multi-stage production of its HD12 cases to preserve the fine details in the appearance of the case in addition to optimum scratch resistance. As a result, the new Preventor HD12 not only has an extremely hard surface, but also brushed, matt and glossy surfaces.

In a first step, large quantities of carbon are diffused into the stainless steel in a surface hardening process. This creates a gradual transition from the hard surface to the soft core. This process offers an enormous advantage over a pure coating, as it prevents brittleness. A transparent hard coating (PVD) is then applied to provide additional protection.

With this process, the HD12 steel achieves an impressive surface hardness of up to 1200 HV (Vickers hardness), which makes the watch case many times more resistant to scratches. In contrast, conventional 316L steel has a surface hardness of around 220 HV.

The Preventor HD12™ impresses with its clearly designed dial, which is available in the colours dark blue and black. It has three central hands, with the second hand having a distinctive red tip that enables precise reading. The minute and second hands are curved at the end to avoid parallax errors. Both the numerals and the hands are coated with SuperLuminova® C1, which makes them glow in the dark and ensures optimum legibility at all times. The dial also bears the historic Hanhart logo to emphasise the historical background. The watch has a diameter of 39 mm, a height of 10.5 mm and is powered by the reliable Sellita SW200 automatic movement. The crown features the historical Hanhart ‘h’ and highlights the love of detail

Various strap options are available for the Preventor HD12™. Three versions are available made from high-quality calfskin, each with an Alcantara inner side for increased comfort. These leather straps are available in the colours black, dark brown and light brown and feature white stitching, no rivets and a classic pin buckle. For all those who value easy care, Hanhart also offers the watch with a robust steel bracelet, which is coated with a transparent hard material layer (PVD) and has a surface hardness of up to 1000 HV.
