I am with you.
Much prefer their original PC.
Announced today. I’m usually a huge Moser fan, love the Streamliner and everything else they’ve done, but I’m not liking this version so much. Huge power reserve and being able to adjust the date at any time without risk to the movement is a plus but the date window placement just seems off to me. Normally I don’t mind 4 o’clock dates would want the date to be towards the outer part of the dial but I think this one needs to be moved in a bit and maybe a bit bigger.

What is it with the date window obsession? No one needs that

Looks a little like a Tag from the 90s with the bracelet :P
Another No from me. Even the crown looks askew (but that may just be poor CGI).
I am a bit of a Moser fan boy most of the time, but this does not quite work. As mentioned by others, crown looks off, date wrong place etc.
For me also they have used the wrong dial colour. Moser is famous for coloured fume dials so why go with a boring grey for this ??? Also power reservoir does not really work in this position.
So a meh
I think the Streamliner aesthetic is one that folk either love or hate. I own the green-dialled centre seconds version and I'm in the love camp.
FWIW, I really like the date placement on this. It reminds me of the Glashutte Sport Evolution. I'm not so keen on the power reserve though and I'm keen to see the evolution of the Streamliner. It's great that Moser are expanding the series - I'd love to see their big date implementation on a non perpetual-calendar version.

The minute marker track reminds me of the Speedmaster Tin Tin and the power reserve at 50 mins is unnecessary.
Don’t like it.
Understandable due to bracelet.
Otherwise it is nothing like an Ebel.
Calling something like a Tag is equivalent to the use of homophobic slurs when disparaging a guy but there is nothing that looks like a Tag here.
Not always the biggest Moser fan but I like it compared to their usual vanilla stuff.
Beer-brain moment - I only see the date, so how is this a 'perpetual calendar'?
The real small hand pointing 12 in the pic is the month ie in the pic it is pointing to 12 ie December (1= jan, 2= feb etc). On the backside is leap year indicator. So all covered for a perpetual. This execution by Moser for the month is really elegant and keeps the dual uncluttered.
There is a stubby central hand that points to the month and there’s a dial on the back that points to the year relative to the nearest leap year.
From the perspective of a Center Seconds Stresmliner owner, I can confirm that the minutes / seconds track is dreadful to read. But I still love it 🙂

Not quite for me, but I do like the idea of integrating the power reserve into the minute track. Usually power reserve indicators stick out like a sore thumb on otherwise good looking watches (looking at you, Grand Seiko), but if you’re gonna stick one on this solution is much less obtrusive.

Saying one particular watch resembles another equates to homophobia. Really? What a bizarre thing to say.
It does look better in these photos.
Thanks chaps. I love the Streamliner aesthetic, and the rear of the watch is masterly, but the month indicator is way too subtle for my knackered eyes, and the lack of a weekday is another black-mark for me. Absurd really, since there's not an icecube-in-hell's chance I could ever afford one!
