Introducing the 417 ES Steve McQueen Limited Edition No. 1, from Hanhart.

It has long been known that Steve McQueen appreciated and wore a Hanhart 417. Several photos of him at Baja, in his living room, and on his motorcycle bear out the fact that he was perhaps one of the most iconic unofficial brand ambassadors out there. And it seems fitting that Hanhart has partnered up with the McQueen family to issue the Steve McQueen Limited Edition No.1.

Based on the 417, this one is limited to 300 pieces worldwide.

The 417 ES

From Hanhart -

I was noodling around on Facebook this morning and discovered that there is a new chronograph from Hanhart.

This is the 417 ES.  It is a very handsome throwback to an iconic piece.

The 417 ES is a hand-wound, bi-compax chronograph. The case is of stainless steel and it measures 42 mm in diameter.

The movement is from Sellita, noted as the SW 510 M.

Hanhart has, over the past 8 years Hanhart has thrilled and disappointed in equal measures. A few bumps along the way, more than a few sets of hands on the wheel, and a few hops back and forth across the Swiss/German border.

And hopefully this latest piece is going to be successful for them.

It is competitively priced at 1,744 Euro but you cannot order direct if you are from the US. Should you be in the US you will need to order from Hanhart's US distributor/sole retail partner.
