A bracelet that bends, a case that melts
By Marco Bellini, Zurich ·
The bracelet is the clever part. It flows straight out of the cushion case with no visible break, and the links articulate enough that it drapes around the wrist instead of standing off it like a flat plank. Integrated bracelets usually fail here. This one doesn't.
24 mm at the case, 40 mm across, 10.9 mm thick, 120 m. HMC 200 automatic, 72 hours. The green fumé dial, no date. Fine numbers.
I don't love the case flanks. The cushion shape is so soft from some angles that it looks almost melted, and on a steel sports watch I want a few more edges for the light to catch.
29,000 to 31,000 USD. That's close to the list price of the big-name integrated steel watches, and the Moser has less history and far better availability. Point for or against? Depends if you want a watch or a status symbol. I know which I'd want.
