A look at the Moser Perpetual Moon

May 21, 2010,23:43 PM
 

Unveiled at Baselworld 2010, the Moser Perpetual Moon is an ultra-precise moon phase - Moser says it will be off by a day after 1000 years. The display at six shows the moon as seen from the Northern hemisphere. 


It also has a day/night indicator in the form of a tiny hand on the dial that makes one revolution every 24 hours.


The state of the seven day power reserve is indicated by a red arrow on a scale engraved onto the bridge of the movement.


Like all Moser watches it has a beautifully sculpted case and a curved back, as well as an interchangeable escapement with a solid gold anchor and escape wheel.



Though this is almost 41 mm wide and fairly thick for such a watch, it feels elegant. This is a subtly beautiful watch.

Price wise it is in between the Moser Perpetual and the entry-level Moser watches. It is available in platinum as well as rose gold.

Don Corson first covered this at Baselworld 2010, click here to see his report.

& thanks! Another great piece from H. Moser! How does the 'tiny hand' work? Mech.

The tiny hand is a day/night indicator

It makes one round in 24 hours so 12-6 is day and 6-12 is night. - SJX

That's intuitive!

I'm still not overly sure about this watch. I'm finding the moon a little out of place for the Moser styling and after the initial "oooh a new Moser" feelings passed I soon found my self back favouring the more subtle Perpetual 1 or Mayu (even it it isn't... 

I thought the same when I first saw it

But in the metal the watch is attractive. The moon phase works better aesthetically than one would expect. I only wish the watch were slimmer. - SJX

Beautiful timepiece.

More pictures here from my Basel report: ahci.watchprosite.com This watch does look better in the metal than in pictures IMHO. What bothers me some are the longitude lines down the moon, even if they do in conjuction with the dots at the bottom, allow pre... 

Thanks SJX.

I can't wait to get a look at one of these in the metal. Though I suspect this one is not from me, there is certainly plenty to like about it. The dial color looks gorgeous, particularly with the yellow (or is that rose?) gold. I like that Moser continues... 

Thanks For The Great Writeup

I'm still not sure about this one and can't wait to see it up close and personal. I can't help thinking that there are too many hands on the dial and it would look better without the sweep seconds hand.

Thanks JX for the great pix
