Swiss luxury watchmaker H.Moser & Cie has added a new 'Dual Time' model to its 'Heritage' collection, delivering its classic design elements in an updated, travel-ready model.
Aiming to embody an "adventurous spirit" the 'Dual Time' features a burgundy fumé dial enclosed with a 42mm steel, allowing wearers to view two time zone clocks simultaneously. Other features of this luxury timepiece include an eye-catching sunburst pattern with 'Globolight' numerals, a 'Super-Lumi-Nova' coating on its hands, and an impressive three-day power reserve.
In addition, the watch is powered by H.Moser & Cie's 'HMC 809' automatic movement, which boasts dual time zone functionality. Aesthetically, the watch borrows from early 20th century models as evident by its classic hand-stitched grey kudu leather strap.
