The folks over at HYT call themselves “hydro mechanical horologists” due to their watches which make use of liquid to indicate the time. Recently, the Swiss brand added a new version of their H1 watch by releasing a sporty limited edition. One designed in collaboration with a footballer Antoine Griezmann. Antoine Griezmann is a centre-forward for the Spanish football club Atlético Madrid, and represents France during the World Cup.
The color scheme for the H1 Antoine Griezmann, blue and white, was picked by the footballer as they are his two favorite colors, we are told. The design and color scheme was meant to reflect a sporty yet elegant quality – though to me it simply looks sporty. On the dial, we have HYT’s signature liquid hour display – this time with a blue colored fluid. The hour ring is white and filled with Super-LumiNova for legibility at night. In the middle, above the bellows that push the liquid through its “capillaries,” we have a sapphire dial which serves as the minute indicator and has a rhodium-plated minute hand – once again with Super-LumiNova.
To the left of the minute dial is the running seconds and to the right is the power reserve indicator. These have blue rings and the red hands add a little visual interest to all the blue and white. The case for the H1 is a combination of black DLC titanium and blue PVD. In addition to the two colors, there are also different types of finishing, from bead-blasting, to brushing, to a satin finish. HYT watches tend to be large and at 48.8mm by 17.9mm, this is no exception. Thankfully, the use of titanium should keep it light and wearable.
The display caseback for the H1 has Antoine Griezmann’s logo on it, but no other text on the crystal – which gives you a full view of the back of the movement. I believe both the H1’s Caliber 101 and the H4’s Caliber 401 are essentially the same movement with different finishing and more skeletonization in the case of the H4. The movements are both hand-wound and beat at 28,800 bph with 65 hours of power reserve.
