The H. Moser & Cie. Endeavour Moon is being assembled at the company's headquarters in Schaffhausen. The large moon disc complements the blue fumé dial perfectly. However, unlike other companies' moon phase mechanisms, this one actually contains a large ring-shaped moon disc that covers the entire dial, not just the portion visible through a small window.

Among the moon phase watches currently on the market, there are very few that have an accuracy of over 1000 years.
One of these, H. Moser's Moon Phase, has features that are not found in other companies' watches.
Indeed, the moon phase mechanism has existed for a relatively long time as a mechanical watch mechanism, and many watch enthusiasts are familiar with it.
What kind of breath of fresh air has H. Moser brought to the brand? We unravel the mechanisms that made this possible, and examine and explain their secrets.
