You no doubt have seen a flood of new releases hitting the sites from various luxury brands. This is because the Dubai Watch Week show has been going on, which means all sorts of new fun stuff to look at, even from afar. One that seemed especially lovely to us is the H. Moser Streamliner Small Seconds Blue Enamel.

What is it?

Well, to begin with, the H. Moser Streamliner Small Seconds Blue Enamel is instantly recognizable as a Moser Streamliner model. From the case profile to the integrated bracelet, and over to the hands and indices, those are very familiar. The dial is where we can start noticing differences. Most obvious, of course, is that subdial with the seconds indication. Past that, however, the dial is actually a bit different.

We’re used to gradients in Moser dials, and those are normally on rather smooth dial blanks. Here, however, we’ve got a hammered texture that reminds me of a pile of sand, or perhaps sun sparkling down on deep blue waters. However you see it, the fact remains – it’s lovely.

Is there anything else different?

Why, yes, yes there is. The H. Moser Streamliner Small Seconds Blue Enamel also features a brand-new movement, the HMC 500. This has all manner of finishing techniques, and offers a 74 hour power reserve. The star of this movement show, though, is that micro rotor – the first time Moser has implemented one. I’ve long been fascinated by these, as they allow you to get an automatic movement into a package that’s closer to manually-wound movement dimensions. Here, this results in a watch that’s 10.9mm thick, which should feel thin, but rightly sized against the 39mm diameter.
