Pioneer Centre Seconds Sun Berry is the latest addition to H. Moser & Cie's sports watch collection. The watch features a Berry Purple fumé dial finished with a sunburst pattern and contrasted by a bright yellow inner flange and matching leaf-shaped hands. Following the brand's Concept design approach, the dial omits logos and hour markers, placing emphasis on color and surface treatment. The watch is housed in a 40mm steel case with a screw-in crown and is paired with a yellow rubber strap secured by a steel pin buckle.
The timepiece is powered by the in-house HMC 201 automatic calibre, a 27-jewel movement operating at 21,600 vibrations per hour. Visible through a sapphire crystal caseback, the movement incorporates an Original Straumann hairspring, a bi-directional pawl winding system, and partially skeletonized bridges finished with anthracite treatment and Moser double stripes.
