H. Moser & Cie. Pioneer watches

The H. Moser & Cie Pioneer is the brand's sports line, conceived as a range of luxury sports watches. Moser calls it an all-rounder, classy yet robust. The case measures 42.8 mm, with concave flanks finished in vertical fluting, a domed sapphire crystal and a screw-down crown, and it is water-resistant to 120 m (12 ATM). Super-LumiNova on the hands and on dots around the flange keeps it legible in the dark.

The fumé dial, a graduated finish that darkens toward the edge, carries applied tapered indices and leaf-shaped hands. Dial names do much of the identifying: Midnight Blue, Funky Blue, Cosmic Green, Burgundy, the grey Ardoise fumé and the silver Argenté.

The Centre Seconds is the three-hand core of the line, on Moser's HMC 200 or HMC 230 calibres. Its versions differ mainly by dial and case finish; the Funky Blue 3200-1205 pairs a DLC-treated steel case with the bright blue dial in a run of 100 pieces. The Pioneer Perpetual Calendar, 11.3 mm thick, keeps the display simple: a big date at 3 o'clock, a short central hand that points to the hour markers to show the month, and a power-reserve indicator, with the leap year shown on the movement side. Moser first offered it only in rose gold, in 2016, and in steel from 2017; the Perpetual Calendar MD is steel, with a Burgundy (3808-1200) or Funky Blue (3808-1201) dial on the HMC 808.

The Pioneer Tourbillon (3804-0900, Midnight Blue) measures 10.8 mm thick and is limited to 50 pieces. Its HMC 804 is self-winding, with a flying tourbillon at 6 o'clock, a three-day power reserve and a double hairspring made in-house by Moser's associate company Precision Engineering. Moser also made it in steel as the 3804-1201, announced in October 2018 in a run of 50.
