McQueen also made film appearances with the watch, including in \u003cem\u003eThe War Lover\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eEstimates suggest only about 500 of these German military chronographs were produced in solid stainless steel, whereas the majority were cased in chrome-plated brass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eAt 38mm, the stainless steel case was definitely considered oversized for the 1950s. Its matte black dial has a dual-register chronograph with the flyback function and large luminous Arabic indices and syringe hands. The example presented today has developed a rich patina throughout. With oversized barrel pushers and a bi-directionally rotating coin edge bezel with red timing indicator, there's no wonder why the King Of Cool found it appealing. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eStrong examples of the 417ES turn up seldomly - this is the first time we've ever had the privilege of offering one, and we couldn't be more excited about it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eWe guarantee you will be, too!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hanhart","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":19822043201623,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0809\/1255\/products\/Hanhart_TWO-REGISTER_FLYBACK_CHRONOGRAPH_STEVE_MCQUEEN__AS03069_6.jpg?v=1559849563","url":"https:\/\/www.analogshift.com\/products\/hanhart-flyback-chronograph-as03069","provider":"Analog:Shift","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
