H. Moser & Cie. made one watch for the drivers of the BWT Alpine Formula One Team and one for its mechanics; now both take on pink, from the team’s second livery.
H. Moser & Cie. today introduces the Streamliner Alpine Drivers and Mechanics Pink Editions, limited to 50 pieces. The two come only as a pair: the Mechanics edition never sells alone.
The Drivers edition is a skeletonised flyback chronograph, its chronograph seconds and minute hands both set at the centre. Twin V-shaped bridges echo single-seater suspension, and a caseback bridge is shaped like a racing helmet. Its calibre, the HMC 700, is H. Moser’s first fully skeletonised chronograph, developed with Agenhor, with the rotor moved to the dial side so the movement shows unobstructed from the back.
The Mechanics edition is digital. Its screen stays dark until woken, then shows a GMT with a country selector and a split-seconds chronograph. A perpetual calendar and an F1 race mode, counting down to race starts, follow. A small domed grey dial keeps the ordinary time.
H. Moser & Cie. calls the pair a team effort: one watch for the track, one for what keeps a race running.
