Made by H. Moser & Cie., the most legible and easy to set perpetual calendar watch is now available in a Tantalum case version featuring a blue “Grand Feu” enamel dial with the signature fumé effect.
Tantalum was discovered in 1802 by Swede Anders Gustav Ekeberg. This rare metal is extremely corrosion resistant, malleable yet strong, and fine-looking yet durable. Moser & Cie. is using this metal for this first time in its history.
H. Moser & Cie. Endeavour Perpetual Calendar Tantalum
The new H. Moser & Cie. Endeavour Perpetual Calendar Tantalum watch has a 42mm diameter case. The anthracite shade of the case is offset with the distinct colour theme of the enamel dial, featuring vibrant colours and an ultra-contemporary hammered texture.
The perpetual calendar by H. Moser & Cie. has an extremely complex mechanical movement beating inside, yet easy to operate and read. The absence of a subdial and date disc makes it very easy to read.
In the Endeavour Perpetual Calendar Tantalum Blue Enamel, H. Moser & Cie. removed the brand logo and all indices except for those at 12 and 6 o’clock, in order to showcase the full beauty of the “Grand Feu” enamel dial.
Featuring the eye catching complex hammered texture, fume effect and an intense hue christened Abyss Blue, each dial is unique.
At the centre, the small hand indicates the months, while a very large date window at 3 o’clock, with the “Flash Calendar” function providing an instant date change at midnight and a power reserve indicator at 9 o’clock displaying the movement’s seven days of autonomy, complete the piece. The time and date are easy to set using the crown, and can be changed at any time of the day.
Visible through the sapphire crystal case-back, the in-house HMC 800 hand-wound mechanical perpetual calendar movement has the ability to store a power reserve up to seven days thanks to the dual barrel system.
