Description
Habring² Erwin Sport
The Erwin Sport delivers the classic lines and minimalistic design of Habring²’s Jumping Second with an understated, classic appeal. The hour and minute hands and numeric hour markers are filled with beige-toned luminous material to differentiate them from the light silver dial. The numerals are outlined in black to match the minute markers and the hands are flame-blued for a striking effect to enhanced legibility in all light conditions. Although designed as an everyday watch, the Erwin Jumping Second Sport rises to any occasion and fits comfortably under shirt sleeves.
The Movement
Erwin’s specially developed movement is based on Habring²’s in-house A11 calibre. A11 has proven itself robust and reliable since its launch in 2014 as the movement within the original Felix timepieces. Thanks to its intelligent design, the A11 calibre is flexible enough for installation in Felix and Erwin’s slim 38.5 mm case. Even with the addition of a jumping second function in the Erwin series, the A11S movement is still a slim 5.7 mm which fits comfortably with the 9mm high case.
The Case
Erwin‘s case is proudly 100% Made in Austria. The raw material is tempered in the smelter of world-famous steel specialist Böhler of Kapfenberg and then processed by local metalworking experts.
The Dial
The silver metallic dial creates an excellent contrast to the printed Arabic numerals applied in a bold, easy-to-read typeface. Notice how the nude-coloured luminous filling is expertly applied so that the thinnest of black outlines remains to frame each number for a very appealing result. The outer dial is finished with black minute markers for uniformity and legibility. A highlight of this piece is the wonderful hand treatment. Flame-blued minute and hour hands have been painstakingly filled with nude-coloured luminous material (subtle beige tone by day, strong green night glow), leaving the striking blue outline adding contrast and dimension to the dial. Speaking of striking, the interior tip of the second hand resembles a lightning strike as it catches and reflects light on its journey around the dial.
The Band
An extensive range of bands are available for the Felix and Erwin collection (18mm lug fitting) and a slim 18mm stainless steel deployment clasp is also available as an alternative to the standard pin buckle fastening.
Our Tip: team this beautiful dial with a natural tan band for a look that says it all.
