H. Moser & Cie - 1345-0500 Endeavour Dual Time Elegant Hong Kong

H. Moser & Cie 1345-0500 description

Unlike the precious metals used in H. Moser’s regular timepiece collection, the Endeavour Dual Time Special Edition has a case of polished grade five titanium (used in very few H. Moser special editions) with a diamond-like carbon (DLC) treatment. Grade five is the highest grade of titanium used in watchmaking. It is not only very hard, easy to wear, hypoallergenic and very light, but it is also the only grade of titanium that may be polished like a precious metal or stainless steel. As such, the Endeavour Dual Time Special Edition, like other H. Moser timepieces, enjoys specific finishes and decorations on its various surfaces and edges, including mirror and hairline finishes. The diamond-like carbon treatment gives the Endeavour Dual Time Special Edition an understated and mysterious deep black surface, and it helps protect the case further from scratches, making for a timepiece that is suited to daily use.

Set against a modest matte anthracite dial, the hour, minute and seconds hands appear to simply be carrying out their basic function, when in fact they are hiding exceptional H. Moser technology. The Endeavour Dual Time Special Edition, as its name conveys, has a dual time zone function, for travelling around the world and across time zones. A red second time zone hand is concealed underneath the “home time” hour hand. When overseas, you simply adjust the red second hour hand to the new local time. The hour hand for the second time zone moves with the home time hour hand. The patented H. Moser Double Pull Crown can be pulled precisely to the central position without stopping the movement, so the home time is not disturbed. This technology is a classic display of H. Moser’s unassuming master craftsmanship.

Only 20 Endeavour Dual Time Special Edition timepieces will be sold, all with Elegant in Hong Kong. This special edition timepiece shows how H. Moser responds to the wishes of watch enthusiasts, as well as being a fine example of H. Moser’s in-house product development and production capabilities.
