The aesthetics of the H1 Chronometer
Pleasantly flat, not too big and with harmonious proportions - Hentschel customers appreciate the perfect wearing comfort of the H1 Chronometer automatic.
Precision
The Hentschel H1 Chronometer automatic combines the highest clockwork precision with fine technical aesthetics in an elegant design. Every H1 Chronometer movement is checked for 1,000 hours in six positions and fine-tuned, based on the strict test criteria of the Deutsche Seewarte in Hamburg. From 1877 onwards, the most precise and reliable timepieces were subjected to an elaborate chronometer test.
The H1 Chronometer automatic is a watch for life. Handcrafted and technically at the highest level. The finely refined automatic movement HUW 522 D is based on an unused, historical movement from the heyday of fine chronometry (new old stock).
Perfect suitability for everyday use
Even if the H1 Chronometer is an elegant wristwatch, Hentschel attach great importance to water resistance, shock protection and scratch resistance. In order to be able to guarantee this for the entire life of the watch, they have developed a technically complex case construction with four seals for the H1 Chronometer. In combination with the sapphire crystal cut from the solid, the H1 Chronometer automatic is very robust, guaranteed waterproof. The high-quality sapphire crystal is absolutely scratch-resistant and break-proof.
The finely contoured watch case of the H1 Chronometer hugs the wrist perfectly. The timeless elegance of the dial and the filigree, handcrafted set of hands harmonize perfectly and make the H1 Chronometer a wonderful classic from the very first moment, no ifs or buts.
