Description
The Pioneer Mk II is based on Hanhart’s first pilot’s chronographs, produced in 1939. It has two buttons, with the top button arranged asymmetrically and the lower reset button in a striking red colour for ease of recognition. The fluted bezel, light dial and luminous numerals and hands gives this piece a charming and nostalgic feel of classic aviation watches.
The clarity of the chronograph sub dials is enhanced by legible print and contrasting hands. Both numerals and hour/minute hands are generously coated with luminous material for excellent legibility in dimly lit environments. This is not only a highly functional pilot chronograph, it is also a stylish, robust timepiece well-suited for everyday wear.
