Hanhart PRIMUS Racer Steel Blue
Ref: 741.270-0320
The PRIMUS Racer pays tribute to Hanhart’s long history as the most important manufacturer of manual stopwatches. In the past, Hanhart stopwatches have played a key part in leading motor sports events and touring rallies around the world. Timers held their leather clipboard in their left hand, and with their right hand they operated the three Hanhart stopwatches mounted on the brackets to accurately record lap times. Classic rally drivers still rely on Hanhart watches to this day. In order to ensure safety and ease for the measurement of interval and end times, the first priority is to ensure maximum functionality, ease of use and outstanding reading precision. With the PRIMUS Racer, Hanhart continues to stand by this maxim.
Legend of the red button
He placed a kiss lovingly on her brow as she slept before quietly leaving the apartment. As he looked at his Hanhart watch in the hangar, a smile flitted over his lips: she had painted the button with her red nail varnish so that he would think of her always and return safe and sound …
This is the legend behind the red button – the distinctive trademark that has characterized Hanhart since the company first introduced its chronographs in 1938. The button has been painted, in particular, to prevent pilots from unintentionally zeroing the stop time and the legend lives on.
The steel blue model combines Hanhart’s optimal quality and reliable functionality with good looks that balance a steely aesthetic with red contrast for enhanced legibility. This is a great watch whether you count the minutes of lap times on a rally circuit or the special moments in life.
