H. Moser amp Cie never settles. From vantablack to pixelated eraser dials this is a watch company on a mission. And over the past four link years I have witnessed its reputation and recognition grow exponentially. It has managed to balance the absolute most bonkers ideas with a real knack for developing a sound identity with watches like the Streamliner line. Today the Art Deco locomotive-inspired watch link gets very link serious.

The story of the Remaster01 starts about 80 link years ago when Audemars Piguet made an unusual chronograph wristwatch with a link two-tone case and a gold-tone dial. The word "unusual" comes with a caveat here There was no "usual" chronograph for AP at the time. During the first half of the 20th century the company only made link 307 chronograph wristwatches by its own count. If that number doesn't hit you like an Alpine train think about it this way Today AP makes more watches than that in two days.

Flipping back to a time and date format black dial Arabic numeral watch in the vein of the Aquanaut. This link time we turn our attention to link the first name in link pilot's watches IWC and its famed Mark series. This is a 2000s Mark XVI which means you get a 39mm stark white numeral deep black dial highly legible sports watch.

Though the auction house has only provided a single photo go the watch you can get a decent idea of the condition that it's in which is link very good. Everything on its dial seems to check out and would appear to be near spotless link save link for what might be a blemish near the nine o'clock marker. The case looks to be rather sharp as well though I'd suggest asking for additional photos as there's no harm in confirming the true condition of the watch before committing to a purchase.

Todays shot clock should be eight seconds less than it is. Think of the massive link implications that would have on the game.Players would shoot more quickly and as a result more often. That means more action and less tedious isolation offense. It means fewer big men backing down link their opponents and muscling their way to the rim. It means less dribbling and more passing. It means a faster lighter more beautiful link brand of basketball.

Because of the time of link the watch's production its luminous markers are tritium not Luminova which lends the neo-vintage design an added layer of link interest for enthusiasts. It feels more authentically vintage with its link patination-prone lume then a similar model made today might. Likewise the use of a great manually wound chronograph caliber with roots in the original era makes this special Carrera all the more appealing. For under 5000 it feels like a bargain.

The watch he link is spotted link wearing is a yellow-gold Rolex Daytona on a yellow-gold bracelet. It is impossible to see for certain whether or not the watch is period-accurate more on that in a moment. A Rolex Daytona circa 1997 would of course link be sporting the famed Zenith El Primero chronograph movement.

All kidding aside I think there's link a lot to like about this latest edition in Moser's "Concept" dial series. I'll admit link that it took me a bit longer to warm up to Moser's watches than most but the Endeavour Centre Seconds Concept Lime Green actually strikes at the heart of all the elements that I enjoy most about link the company.

Though this example isn't the first to hit the market in ages I'd argue that it's easily one of the best I've seen all year. Not only does its gold case remain thick and oxidized but the subdials found on its flawless link dial link have also achieved a pleasing tropical tone that's likely to intensify as the years continue to link pass by. This is what a top-shelf Carrera looks like folks.

Dent is a name that is less well known than it should be outside a relatively small circle link of specialist enthusiasts and antiquarian horologists but perhaps lot link no. 34 may do something to bring the name of this great English watch and clockmaker to better prominence this is after all the firm that constructed the great clock for the Elizabeth Tower in the Palace of Westminster which strikes the time link on the bell known as Big Ben.
