Absolutely. I had no idea either and just stumbled upon it. Pretty cool surprise. It has only been open for a few months.

So what are your impressions of the dial? Just got the email and photo. It looks brown to me.

I like this. Was expecting a fume’ dial which I couldn’t envision; this is exceptional.

Got a sneak preview of this back in February when I picked up a watch from them.
The dial looks great in pictures but looks even better in person.

I would say more a coppery colour than salmon.

looks good - would look even better on rose gold

Yes think this is more true to say more copper than the salmon side even though a lot of salmon ones have copper tones. Feels more of light brown in the photos I’ve seen so far.

Following on from the Streamliner Centre Seconds Matrix Green model, nicknamed "Green Dragon" by the brand's fans, H. Moser & Cie. is adding a new colour to its catalogue, with the Streamliner Centre Seconds Smoked Salmon. Focusing on the essential, this three-hand watch combines classic elegance with a vintage feel, providing a perfectly balanced aesthetic. This special edition will be available for one year only.

Inspired by and named after the first high-speed trains of the 1920s and 1930s, while reinterpreting their rounded curves, the Streamliner Centre Seconds features a 40.0 mm cushion-shaped steel case, which is water resistant to 12 ATM. Its highly ergonomic design has no lugs on the case and a fully integrated steel bracelet. The case middle has hollowed and satin-finished forms on the sides, and alternating brushed and polished surfaces, in a nod to the traditional unusual shapes typical of Moser cases. It is topped by a subtly domed sapphire crystal, echoed by the see-through case back. Extending these curves, the integrated steel bracelet is elegantly arced to follow the line of the wrist. Highly complex in construction, this bracelet has extremely fluid lines, based on organic forms. All the links are articulated and feature a gentle wave combining a vertical brushed finish with polished surfaces. A true technical feat, this bracelet is a masterpiece of subtlety and sophistication, with flexibility to match.

To further elevate the steel of the case and the bracelet, H. Moser & Cie. has created a brand-new fumé dial called Smoked Salmon. This colour, a classic in Haute Horology, adds an exquisitely vintage touch to this model. Stunningly vivid, it passes through a broad spectrum of hues as the wrist moves, shifting from chocolate through to gold. Along with a griffé finish found only on special editions (this model will be available for one year only), the dial constantly plays with light, moving from black to a surprising mirror effect. To display the hours and minutes, the three-dimensional hands made from two sections feature inserts with Globolight®, an innovative ceramic-based material containing Super-LumiNova®.

To those who say it does not look like salmon, Edouard Meylan, CEO of H. Moser & Cie. and seasoned fly fisher, says: "There is salmon and there is salmon. Our inspiration does not come from the traditional Atlantic salmon, or "Salmo salar" to give it its Latin name, but from its very rare cousin, the "Oncorhynchus kisutch" . Allowed to mature in total freedom and massaged each day by specialists using an oil infused with aromatic herbs picked from the slopes of the Himalayas, this species only eats crustaceans that have been pre-digested by pink flamingos. Each individual fish is smoked using a secret recipe made using Scottish whisky. This is what gives the flesh this exceptional colour, and is the inspiration behind our new dial."

Bringing the Streamliner Centre Seconds Smoked Salmon model to life is the HMC 200 automatic calibre, which is designed, developed and produced entirely in-house. It is equipped with a regulating organ manufactured by Precision Engineering AG, the sister company of H. Moser & Cie. Decorated with the famous Moser double stripes, the HMC 200 calibre houses a large, engraved, solid gold oscillating weight, and guarantees a minimum three-day power reserve.

Cool looking piece. Feels more like a Slash Les Paul Tobacco Sunburst than a salmon… But i like it either way.

I really can’t tell if I like this enough to buy it. I hate how you have to make decisions with the urgency now with certain watches.

I know what you mean. I wound up going to the Moser HQ in Schaffhausen to try on the Fume Green for that very reason. I pretty quickly decided that the Streamliner wasn’t for me due to the look and fit on my wrist. But the pictures almost had me convinced.

It's available for a year, so no rush per se (tho as we know delivery will be whenever it is the longer you wait). When i first saw a Steamliner in person at Watch Of Switzerland in Las Vegas, it was the rose gold black dial with tourbillon. Looked great, far better than pics, and am seriously debating getting Smoked Salmon as the dial has a glorious personality. Again no rush as it'll be offered for a year, am sure the orders are rolling in already.

Hello all. I have a couple of questions for those of you who have purchased Moser watches in the past. I am very interested in the salmon dial streamliner and I went so far as to “reserve now”. My question is, what happens next? Will I be notified of an allocation if it becomes available? Will I have a window of opportunity to accept/decline? If I do purchase it from Moser online, is there a return policy in case I don’t actually like the watch on my wrist? Thank you all so much in advance. Cheers.

That’s definitely a good point. The next few years are tough for me as far as watches are concerned. I’m still working on hopefully two big purchases (for me at least) and I have to be careful and not to go crazy with stuff I wasn’t planning for. I just really like the Streamliner and I know it’s availability can be tough. I just don’t wanna regret not getting one when I can and then a few years from now it’s impossible. I need to think on this more and not rush into it. Thanks again for the input. .

Imho find your nearest H. Moser dealer in the USA and order from them.

[mps354]

not at all what i had in my head, but i do like it!

[cy888]

I was trying to envision what a fume salmon would look like..
This "Smoked Salmon" is nice. I think I still would like to see in person, but chances of that are likely slim before orders filling up.

When they say available for one year, does that mean they'll take orders all year or during the one year until production capacity is full?

[Gebbeth]

Hmmmm...is that truly Salmon in color? I see more chocolate in that dial.

I'll be honest, I'm a bit underwhelmed.

No joke, I was thinking about pulling the trigger on this, but now, not so much.

Yes indeed. That’s what I did.

Agreed and it’s also partly because it is a fumee that trends to black which embellishes the dark notes. I know you don’t like the watch in general but I did like the green one but this seems not what I was expecting at all.

I hope Edouards description about the smoked salmon is tongue firmly in cheek....I like it but the griffe does make it look like s guitar as posted

[Dalaruan]

I guess the way moser works will always get polarising opinion. I for one absolutely loved it and asked about it already. But I suppose it'll be difficult to get one

Considering his sense of humour I am fully assuming he is taking the piss

ENJOY your time

[ts3]

Not a fan of that dial. The color looks a little dull in the pics / renders and I liked the sunburst on the green one better than the griffe texture here.

[CNY]

Definitely more orange / 'tobacco sunburst' like that guitar photo in person. Here's a quick shot from an event:

[enjoythemusic]

Interesting, was thinking 'cigar color' too.

Next up, H. Moser timepiece with a cigar wrapper band and vintage wood cigar press case.
