Hanhart has officially linked Steve McQueen's name to its 417 ES model, according to Monochrome Watches. The watch publication reported the move on Friday, October 2, 2026, in a first-look piece. Monochrome Watches describes the change as the brand formally putting the actor's name on the watch.
The 417 ES is a chronograph from Hanhart, a German watchmaker. McQueen, the American actor known for his film roles and his interest in motorsport, has long been associated with watches in the collecting world. Monochrome Watches presents the naming as an official step by Hanhart rather than an informal association.
The report was published as a first look, and Monochrome Watches did not provide full details in the summary available. Pricing, production numbers, and availability were not included in the material reviewed here.
