H. Moser Endeavour Centre Seconds 1200-026 Concept Blue Lagoon 18k WG

Famed for their minimalist branding, not too serious approach to watchmaking, impeccable craftsmanship and stunning dials, Moser has become a darling of the world of independent horology, and it is collections like the Endeavour Center Seconds, like what we have here, that propelled them to the position they have occupied in the last number of years. Released in 2017 to highlight how a seemingly simple timepiece can be just as visually striking as a more complicated timepiece, the Endeavour Center Seconds boasts a minimalist dial free from any branding and a simple 40mm diameter case that is perfectly executed in its relative simplicity. Offered here we have the Blue Lagoon variant that was launched in 2020 as a limited edition of just 100 pieces with its stunning blue fume dial that turns black around its periphery and a beautiful white gold case. Proudly displayed behind a sapphire crystal caseback is Moser’s inhouse automatic HMC 200 movement, new at the time, which would go on to become the basis of the brand’s watchmaking development, with the Endeavour Centre Seconds serving as one its debut timepieces, alongside the Pioneer Centre Seconds. THE DIAL Inspired by a blue lagoon, as its name implies, the ref. 1200-026 features a stunningly minimalist dial whose bright blue center fades to black along its periphery in what is a classic example of Moser's famed fume effect. THE CONSTRUCTION Made of 18kt white gold and boasting a 40mm diameter, the Endeavour Center Seconds is a perfectly sized watch with its stunning dial creating a commanding wrist presence and highlighting Moser's incredible craftsmanship.
