    H. Moser & Cie in steel

    Wouldn't turn my nose up at it!






    From their page:
    Introducing the Pioneer Centre Seconds in steel, the first steel model in our regular collection and quite possibly the most practical H. Moser & Cie. watch to date! Stainless steel case. Midnight blue fumé dial with applied indexes and luminescent dots. Automatic movement with 3 days power reserve. 120 metres of water-resistance. Rubber strap. What more could you ask for from a daily wearer?
    The Pioneer Centre Seconds' new in-house HMC200 automatic movement features a bi-directional pawl winding system, providing a power reserve of 3 days. You can take it off on Friday, strap it on again on Monday, and it will still be running. Though we don't think you'll want to take it off at all...

    Stunning, the price point would still be unobtainable for now though

    If it's the same as the gold one (which I think it will be) it'll be 42.8mm. I've no idea on the price sorry as that's not mentioned but it won't be cheap!

    42.8 mm x 15 mm, according to their website. I don't mind the diameter, but, it seems rather thick for that style of watch.

    Way too wide for me and most likely way too expensive. Does look good though!

    A really beautiful looking watch. It just needs scaling down a couple of mm in each dimension. Completely unobtainable for me though, but one can dream.

    I've not seen a Moser & Cie that I haven't liked. This is stunning. It looks like the could reduce the size a couple of mm by retracting the rehaut to the major diameter of the dial?

    In an Instagram comment Ed Meylan reported the thickness as 11.3mm, which sounds more like it?

    That is my idea of a truly classy watch. Really lovely. Just think, you could buy one instead of the Daytona you can't get anyway.

    I really like it. I'd love to know how much. But if anyone gets one and fancies losing thousands and passing it on - I'm your man ;)
    It's just a matter of time...

    Love the watch but not so keen on the rubber strap. Probably wears very comfortably but does not really match the dressy case, dial etc..

    A quick and easy change, wouldn't make me turn it down as a gift in the slightest

    Doesn't seem to affect sales of the Patek 5167 too much.
    It's just a matter of time...

    Or a fair chunk of the Breguet range, the Rolex Everose Yachtmaster, etc.

    Delicious. Will be interesting to see how residuals fair as you'd get a lovely precious metal one for not a lot more (after discount etc) than its rrp.

    The rubber band does not stop me wearing my Terra Nova either but IMVHO rubber bands in no way looks as smart as a quality bracelet or strap, on most watches.

    Yes, I've a few reservations about the strap, but that's easily sorted.
    Can i have first dibs for the first one that appears on SC please?

    The watch is so stunning that I didnt even notice that i didnt even notice the rubber strap. Definitely needs to be on some premium leather

    Looks stunning, but why make it the size of a saucer? It will look ridiculous on anyone with a wrist less than 8".

    I would love one of those, but I'd pop it on a black alligator strap.

    I absolutely adore that dial colour.

    Truly stunning. But at that price point and with the fine case design it's extremely cheap putting a rubber strap on it.

    100% agree. With the possible new Clowndweller and that Tudor clownograph monstrosity it doesn't look like the trend for daft sizes is going away as many had hoped it would.

    Very high quality I'm sure, but 42.8mm is far too big
