H. Moser & Cie. Streamliner Centre Seconds

by Michael Satterfield - 05/15/2024

The Streamliner Centre Seconds Matrix Green, also known as the "Green Dragon" among collectors, is making a highly anticipated comeback alongside a new model featuring a striking "Purple Haze" colored dial. Initially released in 2020, this model received widespread acclaim and quickly became an iconic timepiece. Despite high demand, H. Moser & Cie. temporarily halted orders to further enhance the aesthetic and technical features of the watch. The updated version now includes a transparent lacquer logo and the new self-winding caliber HMC 201, promising to surpass expectations and captivate collectors once again.

The three-hand watch, featuring hours, minutes, and center seconds, is a timeless classic that demands the the highest level of expertise to perfect the intricate details. The Streamliner Centre Seconds exemplifies this philosophy with its balanced, precise proportions.

Encased in a cushion-shaped steel case with a diameter of 40.0 mm, the watch is water resistant to 12 ATM. Its ergonomic design is enhanced by the seamlessly integrated steel bracelet and the absence of lugs. The case middle exhibits hollowed and satin-finished forms on the sides, along with alternating brushed and polished surfaces, paying homage to the distinctively unconventional shapes typical of Moser cases. The subtly domed sapphire crystal and see-through case back further complement the design.

The integrated steel bracelet gracefully follows the wrist's contours, boasting a highly complex construction with fluid lines based on organic forms. Its articulated links feature a gentle wave design with a vertical brushed finish and polished surfaces, showcasing exceptional craftsmanship and flexibility.

EvEry aspect of the Streamliner Centre Seconds, from its balanced proportions to its high-end finishes, exudes perfect harmony. Enthusiasts will appreciate the Matrix Green fumé dial, which adds to the watch's allure with its vibrant, multi-tonal shades from olive green to red gold.

In addition to the Matrix Green, H. Moser & Cie. is introducing a new "Purple Haze" colorway in the Streamliner collection, featuring an intense purple dial with blue reflections. Both the green and purple dials display the brand's logo in transparent lacquer, subtly serving as a signature. The 3D hands, formed of two sections and incorporating inserts made from Globolight®, an innovative ceramic-based material containing Super-LumiNova®, display the hours and minutes.

Powering the Streamliner Centre Seconds is the 100% Swiss mechanical Manufactured movement: the self-winding calibre HMC 201. This movement replaces the HMC 200 and features updates such as a wider opening onto the mechanism through partially skeletonized bridges and a contemporary anthracite grey finish. The rotor has also been beveled to allow an unobstructed view of the movement, which still guarantees a power reserve of at least 3 days.

Priced at $24,100. For more information, visit h-moser.com.
