The Movement
Swiss Military-Hanowa only uses Swiss made quartz movements from the best Swiss movement manufacturers, from the leading producers ETA, ISA and RONDA. The mechanical watches are fitted exclusively with ETA, Valjoux or Claro movements.
The case
The cases are all very robust and made from stainless steel (with very few exceptions). The gilt parts are plated with 5 microns or Ion plated . Most of the cases are fitted with a screw back assuring perfect waterresistency and all mechanical watches are featuring a see through case back.
The Dial
The dials feature safe Superluminova numbers or dots and so can be read easily in the dark.
The Leather straps
The leather straps are made from refined, high quality leather, carefully crafted and specially treated for water impermeability.
However, Swiss Military - Hanowa recommends you: do not bathe or take shower with a watch featuring a leather strap
The Crown
Some of our watches have screwed crowns, for even better waterprotection. If you are wearing one of these watches make sure that the crown is screwed back properly after setting the time or the date.
The Story
Hans Noll came to Biel in 1961, following a broad-based commercial career, and took over the European sales management responsibility for a mid-sized watch factory. In 1963, following a management changeover, he left this company to set up his own business with his wife. As sufficient capital was not available to buy a brand for himself, he used his imagination and blended the founder's name Hans Noll with the word Watch, giving birth to the brand name Hanowa. Already after only a few years, watches were being produced under own management, giving Hanowa right from the outset a reputation for fantasy watches (ring watches, pendant watches, clip watches, watch sets and much more). For the past 15 years, the company has adapted itself to the changing market trend and converted its production over to sports watches. Thus the "hw Swiss Military" brand was born. Soon afterwards sister brand "Swiss-Eagle" followed, appealing to the same target audience but offering special, exclusive models.
All our watches are of course Swiss made and swim proof – water-resistant to 3, 5, 10 or even down to 20 ATM. The cases are all made from stainless steel and the majority of our models are equipped with luminous hands and dial figures for easy night reading.
