H. Moser & Cie. has a habit of making complicated watches look almost disarmingly simple.
The Endeavour Flyback Chronograph Dual Time Date follows that house instinct closely, pairing a central flyback chronograph with a second time zone and date without crowding the dial with subdials.
It’s a serious piece of modern chronograph engineering, but the first impression is still pure Moser restraint.
Quick summary
- New Endeavour model with flyback chronograph, dual time and date functions.
- 42mm stainless steel case with bullhead-style chronograph pushers at 10 and 2 o’clock.
- Turquoise fumé sunburst dial with a black fumé central disc for the second time zone.
- Manual-winding HMC 730 calibre developed with Agenhor input and a 72-hour power reserve.
- Priced at £65,000 including VAT.
A sector dial that carries more than decoration
The dial is the immediate departure point for this Endeavour.
Rather than using Moser’s familiar full-field fumé treatment, the watch introduces a sector-style layout with a black fumé central disc surrounded by a turquoise fumé sunburst ring.
That split is functional as well as visual.
The inner disc handles the dual-time indication, with a small white arrow marking the hour in a second time zone.
The outer turquoise ring carries the main hour scale, while the date sits neatly at 6 o’clock.
It gives the watch a layered look without abandoning the brand’s preference for clean surfaces and minimal interruption.
Central chronograph architecture keeps the dial open
The chronograph display is arranged around the central hand stack, which is one of the reasons the dial remains so spare.
A red central hand tracks chronograph seconds, while a rhodium-plated central hand records chronograph minutes.
There are no elapsed-minute subdials, no running seconds register and no visual clutter fighting for space.
A tachymeter scale runs around the flange, adding a practical speed-calculation function while keeping the main dial clear.
The result is a chronograph that doesn’t immediately read like a chronograph, which is very much the point.
The HMC 730 puts Agenhor thinking inside Moser restraint
Inside the Endeavour Flyback Chronograph Dual Time Date is the HMC 730, a manual-winding calibre developed with support from Agenhor.
The movement is derived from the HMC 902 architecture, but the automatic winding system has been removed to make room for the dual-time and date mechanisms.
It runs at 21,600 vibrations per hour and offers a 72-hour power reserve.
The flyback chronograph uses a column wheel and horizontal clutch, with the clutch construction designed to reduce hand jump when the chronograph is engaged.
That technical work matters because the watch’s calm dial hides a fairly involved package underneath.
A steel bullhead case with polished restraint
The case measures 42mm across and 13.2mm thick, with stainless steel construction and 30 metres of water resistance.
The crown is positioned at 4 o’clock, while the chronograph pushers sit at 10 and 2 o’clock in a bullhead-style arrangement.
The pushers are smoothly integrated rather than aggressively protruding, so the layout feels more refined than overtly sporty.
Curving lugs lead into a grey alligator leather strap with a nubuck finish and steel pin buckle.
On the back, an exhibition caseback shows the movement finishing, giving the watch the mechanical drama that the dial intentionally keeps under control.
At £65,000 including VAT, this is not a chronograph positioned around traditional sports-watch value.
It’s aimed at collectors who appreciate complicated mechanics made visually quiet, especially those who want travel functionality and flyback timing without a conventional multi-register layout.
