Hanhart Frosted Meteorite AQUASPHERE: 82-Piece Limited Edition

Hanhart and Uhrenratgeber release the Frosted Meteorite AQUASPHERE, limited to 82 pieces, with a genuine meteorite dial at €2,190.

A Measured Take

• Capped at 82 pieces worldwide, each individually numbered XX/82 on the engraved case back — the production run matches the dial material in rarity: no two meteorite dials share the same crystalline pattern.
• Genuine meteorite dial, developed in collaboration with Marcus Finger of Uhrenratgeber, with cool turquoise accents on the seconds hand, bezel insert and the UR logo.
• 42 mm stainless steel case, 12.95 mm tall, rated to 30 bar with a helium escape valve; powered by either a Sellita SW200-1 or Soprod automatic, 38-hour power reserve.
• Priced at €2,190 incl. VAT; delivery from mid-December via the Hanhart online shop or directly through Uhrenratgeber.

The Dial, Up Close

Genuine meteorite — material that has travelled further than any strap will carry it — forms the entire dial surface. The natural Widmanstätten structure, shaped across billions of years, is left exposed rather than obscured, so the frost-like crystalline geometry takes the place of conventional texture. Hanhart states each dial is unique by definition.

Turquoise accents, applied to the seconds hand, the UR logo and within the anthracite-grey unidirectional ceramic bezel, introduce colour without overcrowding the composition. Super-LumiNova BGW9 charges to an intense blue in darkness, keeping legibility intact around the clock.

Case & Mechanics

The 42 mm case in brushed and polished stainless steel sits 12.95 mm tall, a proportion that suits the wrist without bulk. Water resistance reaches 300 metres (30 bar), and a helium escape valve is fitted as standard. The screw-down case back carries an embossed underwater scene alongside the individual edition number.

Inside, Hanhart fits either the Sellita SW200-1 or the Soprod automatic, both delivering a 38-hour power reserve. For a watch at €2,190, either calibre represents a credible and serviceable choice for daily wear in demanding conditions — the Gulf summer included.

Market Position

At €2,190, the Frosted Meteorite AQUASPHERE occupies a precise space in the mid-luxury segment: a meteorite dial at this price is genuinely uncommon. Comparable meteorite-dialled references from better-known Swiss houses start considerably higher, often above five figures. The 82-piece ceiling adds scarcity without artificially inflating the entry point.

For collectors in the Gulf who track secondary-market activity, small-run collaborations between independent brands and respected media voices (here, Uhrenratgeber’s Marcus Finger) have historically held value more firmly than open-production references at equivalent retail. With only 82 examples, the ceiling for resale premiums is at least plausible, though no price trajectory can be guaranteed on a first release.

Ownership at a Glance

Day to day, the AQUASPHERE asks little of its owner. The 30-bar rating covers any aquatic activity a Gulf collector is likely to pursue, the ceramic bezel resists scratching, and the Sellita or Soprod movement can be serviced by most independent watchmakers without special tooling. Delivery is expected from mid-December, ordered directly through Hanhart or via Uhrenratgeber.
