The Streamliner Perpetual Moon Concept Meteorite uses a golden meteorite dial to anchor a precise moon phase display within a compact steel case. The material comes from the Gibeon meteorite and reveals natural geometric patterns that are enhanced with a soft fumé effect. A large moon aperture at six o'clock shows the current phase with accuracy rated to drift by only one day in more than a thousand years. Inside, the automatic calibre HMC 270 offers a three-day power reserve and keeps the indication moving smoothly.
The design stays true to the Streamliner line by keeping the dial free of logos and indexes so the meteorite remains the focus. Curved surfaces and alternating brushed and polished areas create a play of light across the case. The watch presents itself as a sports piece that connects precise moonkeeping with minimalist aesthetics, appealing to collectors who value mechanical depth and presentation.
