ith the new Aquasphere Ocean Fade, Hanhart is once again expanding its Aquasphere collection, which is geared towards professional diving watches. The new model combines a special design with proven functionality. The dial shows a gentle color gradient from bright blue to deep black - a tribute to the depths of the ocean and at the same time a guarantee for optimum readability, even underwater.

Another new feature is the blue and black rubber strap, which not only perfectly complements the Aquasphere Ocean Fade, but is also compatible with the Aquasphere FreeFall Blue. This versatility offers divers even more flexibility and comfort. Another new feature is the optional black or blue bezel, which rounds off the design harmoniously and provides functional support.

As with all Hanhart watches, the Aquasphere Ocean Fade focuses on maximum functionality, intuitive operation, exceptional precision and outstanding robustness - both above and below water.

Following the successful launch of the first watch in the Aquasphere collection, Hanhart now presents the Aquasphere Ocean Fade with a new, impressive black-blue gradient dial that reflects the depth of the ocean. Despite the new design, the 30- bar water resistance, the exceptional robustness and the high-quality embossing on the case back remain unchanged. The rotating bezel of the Aquasphere Ocean Fade is available in ei- ther blue or black and can be safely turned counterclockwise, as is customary with professional diving watches.

The dial of the Aquasphere Ocean Fade with its fascinating black-blue gradient not only reflects the visual depth of the ocean, but also the intense experience of an extreme diver. The gentle transition from deep black to blue is reminiscent of the dark depths of the sea, which are increasingly broken by a clear blue light during a dive. For freedivers like Fabio Tunno (pictured right), the gradient from black to blue is more than just a design element - it symbolizes the decisive moment between deep darkness and the saving light of the ascent. Just like the color gradient on the dial, an extreme diver feels moved at this moment from the oppressive silence of the sea to a new breath of freedom and life.

With the introduction of a new rubber strap, Hanhart is expanding the wearing options of the Aquasphere collection with a particularly functional and stylish option. The robust strap has been specially developed for use in water and impresses with its high resistance and ease of care - ideal for daily use as well as for demanding dives. With a high-quality stainless steel folding clasp, even putting on and taking off the watch becomes a small pleasure.

The modern Hanhart logo is discreetly embossed into the rubber strap and echoes the design of the dial. From now on, both the new Aquasphere Ocean Fade and the tried-and-tested Aquasphere FreeFall Blue can be worn with the new rubber strap in black or blue, the sporty Hook Strap or a classic steel bracelet. In addition to the functional advantage when diving - the strap is easy to clean and at the same time offers the best comfort in wearing - it also gives the watches a striking look that perfectly combines sportiness and elegance.

The Aquasphere Ocean Fade adapts to every style and every area of use with a variety of configurations - whether sporty, functional or classic. Choose your perfect combination from two striking bezels and four strap variants.

The Hanhart standard with regard to the accuracy of the watches is as unique as the watches themselves. Each individual movement is tested and adjusted by excellently trained watchmakers at the Hanhart manufactory in Gütenbach. The Hanhart specifications for rate accuracy are 0 to +8 seconds per day on average over 6 positions. This corresponds to the same deviation as +-4 seconds, but Hanhart does not allow a minus second in the main positions. The German virtue of punctuality ensures that Hanhart wearers will never be late due to inaccurate timekeeping. In ad- dition, a maximum delta of 10 seconds is permitted between the positions.

As a pioneer in the development of wrist chronographs and stop-watches, Hanhart has played an outstanding role in the history of the German watch industry. With a passion for technical inventiveness, Hanhart continues to set the highest standards for itself today and is guided by the following maxims: precision and reliability, perfect readability and simple, safe operation as well as maximum robustness. Since 1882, the watch manufacturer has been producing timepieces that combine perfection with unmistakable design. Development, production and sales of the mechanical masterpieces are based in Gütenbach in the Black Forest.
