News: H. Moser & Cie. Presents the New Pioneer Perpetual Calendar MD with Dual Window Display

For the first time in its history, H. Moser & Cie. has created a perpetual calendar with two windows displaying the date and month. The aim of this development is to offer optimal legibility in the brand's sportiest line: Pioneer. The Pioneer Perpetual Calendar MD features a steel case water resistant to 120 meters, enabling it to display the time under any conditions, whether on land or underwater. A practical, wearable perpetual calendar for everyday heroes. In 2015, H. Moser & Cie. launched the Pioneer collection. This contemporary collection, imbued with a pioneering, adventurous spirit, was the obvious choice to accommodate the brand's new perpetual calendar with dual window display. A stylish creation with two large windows to display the date and month and two discs featuring the Flash Calendar function, which changes instantly when necessary. The date can be set at any time of the day, forwards or backwards, with no risk to the movement.


H. Moser & Cie. Pioneer Perpetual Calendar MD

The Pioneer Perpetual Calendar MD is an innovation par excellence, available in two models with bold colors: the first features the Funky Blue dial with traditional indexes and markers; the second is dressed in burgundy and stripped of almost all indications except for the dots that mark the hours. An offset small second sits at 6 o'clock, and a power reserve indicator at 9 o'clock, along with the leap year cycle indicator, which is concealed on the movement side. The leaf-shaped hands are partially skeletonized and filled with superluminova, as are the hour marker dots on the flange.


The Movement

At the heart of the Pioneer Perpetual Calendar MD beats a new Manufacture calibre. A complex marvel of ingenuity, the HMC 808 manual wound movement offers a comfortable power reserve of at least seven days thanks to its double barrel. The 32-jewel movement features a leap year indicator on the movement side and beats at a frequency of 18,000 vph.


The Pioneer Perpetual Calendar MD finds H. Moser & Cie. daring to push the limits of fine mechanical watchmaking ever further, always aware of the brand's need to continue innovating and reinventing itself. Both watches are cased in a stainless steel case measuring 42.8 mm in diameter and 11.3 mm in thickness featuring a curved sapphire crystal and a screw-in crown. Both watches are available in a limited edition of only 50 pieces for each color. Both watches are delivered with a black alligator strap or a black rubber strap.
