The Streamliner Genesis 2 is a limited edition watch from H. Moser and Cie that features a 40 millimeter stainless steel case with curved surfaces and an integrated bracelet characteristic of the Streamliner family. The dial is finished in Vantablack, a material known for its high light absorption, which creates a deep, uniform surface without indices or applied markers. The minimalist arrangement highlights the hour and minute hands and maintains continuity with the brand’s earlier Genesis design. A titanium crown with a pixel-inspired texture adds a small visual contrast to the smooth case.
The model runs on the HMC 203 automatic movement visible through a sapphire caseback. The calibre includes skeletonized bridges, an 18 karat gold rotor and a power reserve rated at three days. Water resistance is set at 120 meters. Production is limited to 100 pieces available only to owners of the previous Genesis watch or their selected guest.
