You may be wondering if this timepiece has been created to satisfy watch
enthusiasts, or more as an expression of
H. Moser’s pride and
dedication as professional watchmakers. In fact, the idea for the
Endeavour Dual Time Special Edition was born during
Baselworld 2014,
when a representative from
Elegant told
H. Moser’s senior management how
popular the timepieces are among
Elegant clientele, with some watch
owners boasting a number of
H. Moser timepieces. Many of Elegant’s
customers, coincidentally, mentioned a desire to own an
H. Moser
timepiece that combines understated aesthetics with more complex
functions (such as a dual time zone display). The feedback from these
customers is what drives
H. Moser watchmakers to continue to innovate
and, as such,
H. Moser took this feedback very seriously.
H. Moser
immediately set about designing the
Endeavour Dual Time Special Edition,
exclusively for
Elegant in
Hong Kong. Something that makes this
timepiece particularly special is that it features
H. Moser’s first ever
matte anthracite dial, sandblasted and plated with ruthenium entirely
by hand and created for this special edition. 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.

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.

Another key feature of the
Endeavour Dual Time Special Edition is the
pawl winding system within the in-house automatic calibre
HMC 346. This
system is the result of relentless efforts made by the
H. Moser product
development team during the design and testing this highly efficient
automatic in-house calibre, and it reflects
H. Moser’s goal of bringing
together both fine craftsmanship and practicality. The timepiece also
includes
Moser teeth for all wheels and pinions, a patented Moser
interchangeable escapement, an original Straumann hairspring® with a
stabilised
Breguet overcoil and a pallet fork and escapement wheel made
from solid gold. An 18-carat solid red-gold oscillating weight winds the
spring barrel, giving excellent performance and a minimum 3-day power
reserve.
