This Hanhart Pioneer One model is an automatic pilot's watch featuring a stainless steel case measuring 42mm in diameter, or 47mm including the crown. The watch is powered by a Sellita SW 200-1 automatic movement, visible through a glass exhibition case back.

The black dial displays Arabic numerals, luminous hands, and a date window at the 3 o'clock position, with the signatures "Hanhart 1882" and "MADE IN GERMANY". It incorporates a fluted rotating bezel with a red index marker. The timepiece is provided with an original branded leather strap featuring an signed pin buckle, along with an original Hanhart 1882 travel pouch and cleaning cloth. The condition of the watch case is reported as very good, while the leather strap shows signs of wear and age.

The movement is operational, though exact timekeeping performance and power reserve capacity have not been tested or verified by the source.
