Why We Love it
–When the name 'Steve McQueen' is associated with wristwatches, it is generally used to describe the iconic Heuer Monaco worn in the racing film Le Mans, his Rolex Submariner 5512, or even the Rolex 1655 Explorer II 'Orange Hand' that has come to bear his nickname due to a decades-old misidentification that just won't die.
While those watches are all relatively well-known and documented, McQueen also had an affection for a rare, little-known Hanhart flyback chronograph Reference 417ES, which he sported on a leather cuff strap. McQueen also made film appearances with the watch, including in The War Lover.
Estimates suggest only about 500 of these German military chronographs were produced in solid stainless steel, whereas the majority were cased in chrome-plated brass. This particular iteration is neither — a contemporary reissue, it’s cased in solid bronze, making for a unique look that still retains its McQueen-approved swagger!
Housed in a 39mm bronze case with a sapphire crystal, a signed crown, dual bronze barrel pushers, and a bi-directional bronze indicator bezel, it features a luminous sunburst brown dial with luminous ‘Arabic’ indices, an outer white 1/5th-seconds track, a matching ‘syringe’ handset, and a dual-register chronograph with 30-minute and running second totalizers.
Powered by the Swiss-made Sellita SW510 automatic chronograph movement, this Revolution Magazine limited edition is paired to a signed, brown leather ‘Bund’ strap with a signed, bronze pin buckle and is limited to just 200 units worldwide.
Regardless of whether or not you’re a McQueen devotee, it’s tough to deny the appeal of this handsome, badass bronze chronograph. Once you get it on your wrist, we’re sure you’ll agree!
Brand Story

Brand Story
+Produced in Switzerland and QC’d in Kuala Lumpur, Ming watches use either Sellita and ETA movements in their entry-level pieces, or higher-end calibers from the likes of Schwartz-Etienne and others on some of its pricer wares. Their products sell out quickly, and Ming often rewards repeat customers with offers of allocations on new models. The watch industry has also taken note, awarding the 17.06 Copper model the Horological Revelation price at the 2019 Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève.
From simple, time-only models to GMTs and moon phases, Ming’s timepieces represent some of the best in modern boutique watchmaking, drawing on a collective 80 years of experience in the watch space to push the horological envelope.
