Beautiful! Just not crazy about all the rubber straps - which can easily be replaced!

I would want a dark kudu leather to go with it also. If traveling to fun places with warm water, the rubber would work great.

Stunning. Is this a new release?

Dark kudu would look good. It’s a really cool leather.

Moser assured me it would be an exciting year for 42.8 mm releases, and they sent me a link to one I had not seen yet.

That’s great news!

Agreed. It is really comfortable. Love the pin buckle as well as it lies very flat. I’m one who likes pin buckles better than deployants in most cases.

See above. Moser’s are really good, but you’re right they can be easily switched. Their kudu is great as is their textile and the steel bracelet.

I’m not Australian so Aussie friends please forgive me if I’m off, but I believe the western Australian time zone is GMT+8. Thus the watch’s ‘+8’ moniker, with emerald index at the 8 position.

BTW usmc_k9_vet, your mega cool is objectively mega cool, ie cool x a million according to the ancient Greeks. I really like the color!

if you list it, or have a price in mind, I would be interested in the details. I’m 90% certain I will buy a stainless midnight blue tourbillon, unless something better pops up before I find one.

And it looks great! And a great size. Cleanest perpetual calendar you'll ever see.

[ChetBaker]

Very nice - only small gripe would be the color of that month hand - wish they'd kept it the same colour as the other hands. Other than that - another great watch by Moser.

[Gebbeth]

Unpopular opinion incoming: I do not like Moser perpetual calendar layouts. It's not the stub month hand or the reverse side leap year counter. That all makes a lot of sense, and aesthetically, is the right choice.

It's just that in a perpetual calendar, I'd like to see the day, as well as the date and month. Many Moser perpetual calendars, and all in the Streamliner line, do not have the day.

I just feel like you're missing a major element in a perpetual calendar and something that also shows the mechanical miracle that is a perpetual calendar, that it shows the whole calendar for essentially a hundred years.

Wished Moser could find a way to implement a day indicator that blends in with Moser's reductive design ethos.

I think the majority share your opinion, but in this case, the minority has been under served, and I think Moser recognized that. It's smart to fill a niche when you find one

Luckily, there are lots of perpetual options that show more information, most show tons of information. I want to eventually own a perpetual calendar but I find almost all of them too busy. I get that it is a busy complication, but I love that it has been simplified. As of right now, the moser perpetuals are the ones I picture myself owning in the future.

Is it crazy talk to consider trading a DD40 for a Streamliner Flyback?

[ChetBaker]

Not at all. I traded a blue Milgauss, blue YM and topped up with quite a bit of cash for a blue chrono. I never wore the Rolexes and prefer watches that are more unique. Dont know values of DD40’s but as such not crazy at all.

[usmc_k9_vet]

The new Streamliner perpetual salmon dial is really cool. Super clean and I’m a big fan of that.

Enjoying my Pioneer.

It is very cool and very well done. A very unique skeleton tourbillon and at a reasonable price when you consider what it’s competing with. The rotor is very nice and the finishing looks excellent to my untrained eye. I like the aesthetic and layout of everything. Might be slightly difficult to tell the time, but I wouldn’t mind making the extra effort to look at the watch a while longer anyway. The globolight indices are also a cool touch, as is the mini fumé dial.

^^^ Great pics and agree, the more you have an H. Moser the more you see to admire.

[PinKchampagnE]

Very nice indeed but, for that price, the rubber strap is a huge let down for me. I'm sure it's comfortable but it just doesn't match the rest of the watch in terms of perceived quality.

I really like it. I get it though. Fortunately Moser also makes some different and awesome factory straps such as textile and kudu leather and they also offer a great stainless steel bracelet.

Have you seen and experienced the rubber on wrist. Its the best I’ve ever worn that includes 5167, Panerai, oyster flex etc

[NardinNut]

I completely agree. Best rubber strap I’ve ever worn
