H. Moser & Cie. Endeavour Chinese Calendar Watch (2023)
In collaboration with Agenhor SA, Moser masterfully merging the Chinese lunisolar calendar with the Gregorian calendar. The intricacy involved in such a task might baffle many, but the result is a remarkable timepiece that remains accurate without manual correction for a duration of 12 years.
The Endeavour’s design stands out with its unique elegance, steering clear of the customary designs usually associated with Chinese calendar complications. The case is in 18k red gold in 40mm with a thickness of 13mm, water resistance up to 3ATM and is adorned with a Midnight blue fumé dial. While the dial is more intricate than some of Moser’s previous perpetual calendar models, it remains very clean and uncluttered. The crescent-shaped apertures, gold round-tipped retrograde hands, display the Chinese lunisolar months and days. The triangular window at noon display the zodiac animal of the current Chinese year. Gregorian date window placed below the small seconds counter.
Automatic movement HMC210, featuring a solid 18k gold oscillating weight, and most importantly the original Straumann hairspring (in-house). Power reserve is 72hrs
