417ES Moby Dick 39mm
THE CIVIL VERSION OF AN ICON
Frequently requested, finally available: with the new Moby Dick 39 mm, Hanhart presents the white-dial version of the historic 417 ES chronograph in its original size for the first time. Inspired by one of the rarest executions of the 1950s, this model stands for precise instrument aesthetics beyond military specifications – born civil, uncompromisingly functional.

The thermally blued hands, whose deep blue tone comes alive depending on the angle of light, lend the watch remarkable depth. The anti-magnetic case reliably protects the movement from external influences, while water resistance of 10 ATM makes the chronograph fully suitable for everyday use.

Instead of the classic red bezel marking, the Moby Dick 39 mm features an ivory-colored Super-LumiNova® insert. Perfectly matched to the dial numerals and hand inlays, this iconic chronograph ensures excellent legibility even in daylight.
The Watch and Its History
The designation “Moby Dick” traces back to an exceptionally rare version of the historic Hanhart 417 ES chronograph from the 1950s.

Due to its limited availability and distinctive design, this white-dial version gradually became a highly sought-after collector’s piece. Among collectors, the nickname “Moby Dick” emerged as a reference to the white whale from Herman Melville’s novel, symbolizing rarity and strong recognizability.

The name was never an official historical model designation, but rather a term that evolved over time within the international collectors’ community and was later consciously adopted by Hanhart.

The Hanhart 417 ES chronograph was used in various professional fields where precise time measurement was essential. Versions with light-colored dials were aimed in particular at users outside standardized military requirements, such as in civil aviation, technical professions, or medical environments.

The white-dial version thus represents a civil interpretation of the classic chronograph – factual, functional, and free from formal service regulations.

A typical Hanhart design feature is the fluted bezel, which rotates smoothly in both directions. Its ivory-colored Super-LumiNova® insert replaces the classic red marker and is perfectly color-matched to the dial and hands. The bi-compax layout, typography, and historical lettering are consistently based on the early 417 and have been faithfully re-interpreted.

Inside, behind the screw-down stainless steel case back, operates the proven hand-wound SW510 caliber in Swiss Made quality. It features hacking seconds and offers a power reserve of up to 58 hours. While historical models were limited in every-day usability, the Moby Dick 39 mm is water-resistant to 10 bar, clearly designed for modern use.

An inner soft iron core provides effective shielding of the movement against magnetic influences. As a result, the Moby Dick 39 mm achieves anti-magnetic resistance of up to 16,000 A/m, underscoring its technically functional character for daily wear.
