Building on almost two centuries of watchmaking tradition, H. Moser & Cie. has launched its summer season with a bold collaboration. Blending two seemingly contrasting universes, the manufacturer has partnered with globally recognized sportswear brand UNDEFEATED to create a limited edition.
Espousing many shared values, the two brands are resolutely minimalist in their aesthetic, with an eye for detail and a desire to constantly push boundaries. They make it a point of honor in their respective industries to surprise by subverting expectations and defying norms.
UNDEFEATED was founded in 2002 by James Bond and Eddie Cruz, opening its first curated apparel and sneaker boutique of its kind in Los Angeles, on the legendary La Brea Avenue. Now with 28 boutiques throughout the world, UNDEFEATED has since become one of the most influential brands of its generation. From its inception, UNDEFEATED has built one of the most iconic collaboration portfolios, partnering with artists and brands to create highly sought-after limited editions in fields as diverse as mainstream basketball and luxury cars.
The idea for the collaboration with H. Moser & Cie. came from Eric Cheng, one of UNDEFEATED's co-owners and a keen fan and collector of H. Moser watches who contacted Edouard Meylan, CEO of H. Moser & Cie.
The new model comes with a DLC-coated stainless steel case measuring 42.3mm in diameter and 12.1mm in height. The sporty case hosts sapphire crystals on both sides along with chronograph pushers at 2 and 10 o’clock and a screw-in crown featuring an M logo. The stylish case, in addition to its waterproof value of 120 meters, allows the model's Flyback chronograph feature to be used underwater.
H. Moser Streamliner Chronograph UNDEFEATED features a Tiger Camo patterned dial designed in harmony with the case. The applique UNDEFEATED logo made of DLC steel stands out on the dial. Globolight phosphor applied hands on the dial and DLC coated numeral indices display the time.
The new model is powered by the Caliber HMC 902 designed by AGENHOR for H. Moser & Cie. The 55 jewels automatic movement beats at 3Hz (21,600vph) and offers up to 54 hours of power reserve when fully wound. The bi-directional winding tungsten rotor draws attention with its placement between the caliber and the dial. Column-wheel coordinator chronograph movement also includes the Flyback feature.
A dark-gray DLC coated stainless steel bracelet with a folding clasp complements the 76 units limited edition model.
The Streamliner Chronograph UNDEFEATED will be available online from June 22nd and in selected UNDEFEATED stores, as well as on the H. Moser & Cie. e-commerce platform. MSRP is CHF 50,000.
