Burgundy fumé dial and tourbillon
H. Moser & Cie. has announced a new watch. The model is the Pioneer Tourbillon Burgundy. Featuring a burgundy fumé dial and a red gold case, this timepiece embodies natural elegance. The movement is the Caliber HMC 805, a flying tourbillon movement with a double hairspring.
The dial is a typical H. Moser & Cie. fumé dial that darkens towards the edges. The color is a burgundy that expresses a subdued elegance. The "H. Moser & Cie." logo is printed transparently at the top of the dial. Although transparent, the bulging logo is easily readable due to the reflection of light.
The case, hour and minute hands, and indexes are made of red gold. This color complements the burgundy dial color and gives it an even more elegant impression. The hour and minute hands and indexes are carefully polished, and their reflections create a beautiful accent on the dial, asserting their presence without interfering with the calm burgundy color.
The case is crafted in a way befitting a prestigious watch, with alternating satin-brushed and polished finishes. The bezel and sides are polished, while the lugs are primarily satin-brushed. The recesses on the sides of the case are decorated with a fine striped pattern, adding rhythm to the overall look of the watch.
The included khaki strap is reminiscent of military style and is sure to inspire a sense of adventure. However, it matches perfectly with the burgundy dial and red gold case. It is not just a sophisticated elegance, but also an important element in creating a casual look that is suited to the modern lifestyle of today.
The movement is the Caliber HMC 805, which is equipped with a flying tourbillon. It is the successor to the Caliber HMC 804, which also features a flying tourbillon, but it uses a larger, hollowed-out rotor, a design typical of H. Moser & Cie.'s rotors of recent years. The hollowed-out shape of the red gold rotor features elegant curves reminiscent of Gothic architectural vaults. The movement has a power reserve of approximately three days.
The movement is anthracite-colored, while some of the gears and balance wheels are red gold, creating a contrast that makes it easier to see how these components work.
The watch uses a double hairspring from its affiliate Precision Engineering. This compensates for the movement of the center of gravity of the mainspring during expansion, significantly improving accuracy and isochronism. It also has better wear resistance than a single hairspring.
Furthermore, since the flying tourbillon is an interchangeable module, it can be assembled and adjusted independently of the movement, making it easy to maintain.
Automatic winding (Cal. HMC 805). 21,600 vph. Power reserve approximately 72 hours. 18KRG case (diameter 40.00 mm, thickness 12 mm). Water resistant to 12 bar. 10,714,000 yen (tax included).
