With the new AQUASPHERE collection, Hanhart is heralding a new era in its history.
For the first time, the manufacturer from the Black Forest, which specializes in pilot's and motorsport watches, is presenting an independent dive watch series.

With the first model, the new AQUASPHERE FreeFall Blue with a 42 mm stainless steel case, HANHART wants to be measured against the best diving watches on the market.
Fabio Tunno, a German freediver in apnoea diving, has already successfully tested the watch at depth for months.
The AQUASPHERE FreeFall Blue even mastered a dive to a depth of 110 meters without any problems.

Hanhart has so far lacked a collection that fulfils the demands of diving and at the same time convinces with a modern, appealing style. For this reason, Hanhart began working on the new AQUASPHERE over three years ago. The gap is now closed.

However a Super Ocean or Planet Ocean are multiple times more expensive. The Hanhart watch is well spec’s and more affordable for many people.
It’s strange how Watchbuys seem to have a selling monopoly in the US. In the UK there are two AD’s where Hanhart watches can be tried on and closely inspected prior to buying. I’ve purchased from both of them, the owners are watch enthusiasts like us and are a pleasure to do business with.

Looks great on the variety of straps. I prefer the bezel on your Fly Navy but the no date on my Aquasphere.
