The Watch
Here we have a 2021 Habring2 Chrono-Felix "Panda" Dial Manually Wound, its 38.5mm round stainless steel case has tapering curved drilled lugs, the polished and brushed surfaces capture the light perfectly as you rotate your wrist, and a lug-to-lug length of 46mm and a case thickness of 11.5mm ensures a comfortable fit. Between the bottom lugs, you find the engraved consecutive serial number this one is No.#57. On the right side, we have a single pusher at 2 o’clock with a crown double-sealed just below at 3 o’clock. A slim polished bezel holds the domed sapphire crystal with AR coating on both sides to help with reflections. The stunning Panda dial has an outer minute track surrounding the Arabic”12” alongside stick indices to mark the hours. The Bicompax consists of black registers at 3 ‘o’clock, 30 minutes and at 9 o’clock, small seconds. Elegant steel stick hands are complemented by a fine-tapered chronograph hand. On the reverse an exhibition case back with sapphire crystal. Inside an in-house Manually Wound Habring² A11C-H1, 25 jewels, 28,800 beats per hour. An antimagnetic escapement with a Carl Haas hairspring to Chronometer standards. KIF shock protection complies with DIN and NIHS standards. The movement has hand-applied perlage finishing and is mesmerising to watch its beating heart. The watch comes fitted on a Habring 20mm leather strap with a pin buckle and comes with its Habring presentation box and papers.
Personal Note
This Habring2 Chrono-Felix "Panda" is quintessential Habring2 for me, simple, elegant and beautiful both on and off the wrist and they resist the urge to make their watches bigger, so at 38.5mm, I feel this is the perfect size point for most people. As I've mentioned many times before when selling Habring2, the movement finishing is incredible and deserves to be admired up close and under a loupe, so book an appointment to come see this beautiful watch in person for yourself.
