Catalogue Essay
Displaying a generously sized 38mm case, the present chronograph by H. Moser & Cie is an incredibly well-preserved specimen. Boasting a stepped bezel and a beautiful lacquer dial, it exudes 1950s flair, and even has design similarities to the better known Longines "Tre Tacche" of the same period.
The dial condition is particularly remarkable, as it is still very glossy in appearance with hardly any signs of aging. The case too is preserved in excellent condition with crisp edges and defined facets. Without a doubt, this watch was incredibly modern for its period - not unlike the Moser that we know today - known for always pushing the boundaries of horological innovation
