H. Moser & Cie. Venturer Small Seconds XL Purity Red Gold Edition

Posted on by

Elegantly displaying the largest diameter offered by H.Moser & Cie., the Venturer Small Seconds XL Purity models brilliantly demonstrate the minimalist philosophy celebrated by the Schaffhausen-based Manufacture. The rhodium-plated fumé and midnight-blue fumé dials feature only the logo together with the five main indices, including double indices at 12 o’clock.

Five indices, at 12, 3, 6, and 9, shine through on the Venturer Small Seconds XL Purity dial. They provide the dial with a rhythm, featured here on the midnight-blue fumé version and the traditional rhodium plated fumé version. Amplified by the domed sapphire crystal and the refined bezel, the signature fume dial demonstrates the power of an iconic product.

Measuring 43 mm in diameter, for the first time the Venturer Small Seconds XL Purity case is featured here in 5N red gold. Warming up the otherwise cold tones of fumé dials, this material adds to the beauty and elegance of the Venturer Small Seconds XL Purity. Offsetting the classicism of this creation, H.Moser & Cie. has chosen a bold, chocolate-coloured strap for the model equipped with the midnight-blue fume dial, and a beige kudu leather strap for the model with the fumé dial.

The Venturer Small Seconds XL Purity features the convex shapes typical of the 1960s and design inspired by historic H. Moser pocket watches. The watch is equipped with the HMC 327 small seconds hand-wound Manufacture calibre. Visible through the sapphire case back, this movement is equipped with an escapement with a bi-directional screw, developed and manufactured by Precision Engineering, the sister company of H. Moser & Cie. The HMC 327 calibre provides a minimum power reserve of three days, displayed on an indicator on the reverse side of the watch.

The Venturer Small Seconds XL Purity in red gold is available in a limited edition of 100 pieces for each of the two references.
