H. Moser & Cie. has released two new versions of the Endeavour Flyback Chronograph Automatic featuring Funky Blue and Burgundy fumé dials housed within 42.3-millimeter stainless steel cases. The watches incorporate flyback chronograph, dual-time, and big date functions within a restrained dial layout that avoids traditional multi-register chronograph formatting. Concentric chronograph counters are positioned together at 6 o’clock, while applied indices and leaf-shaped hands extend across the dial surface beneath a tachymeter scale around the outer edge.
The watches are powered by the HMC 250 automatic movement developed with Agenhor and visible through a sapphire caseback. Both references are paired with hand-stitched kudu leather straps and retain the rounded case geometry associated with the Endeavour collection. The H. Moser & Cie. Endeavour Flyback Chronograph Automatic is now available through the brand and authorized retailers.
