The Schaffhausen-based watchmaker launched a limited-edition timepiece, created in collaboration with Massena Lab. Produced in 100 pieces, the Endeavour Chronograph Compax is much more than a simple chronograph: it embodies a journey through the history and also the mysteries of H. Moser & Cie, whilst celebrating contemporary innovation.
Through the Endeavour Chronograph Compax, both partners are paying tribute to the watchmaking approach and spirit of innovation which have always characterised the brand. A symbol of exploration and discovery, this model is designed for those who, like great adventurers, are seeking to go beyond the limits of time and space. Taking its design from historic H. Moser & Cie chronographs of the 1940s, this watch has a classic “Compax” configuration. With its two sub-dials at 3 and 9 o’clock, one for the small seconds and the other for the 45-minute chronograph, it is perfectly symmetrical, offering an elegant yet functional harmony which resonates with the scientific universe of the mid-20th century. The presence of a tachymeter scale, which allows the ground speed to be measured with precision, also recalls the practical purpose watches would fulfil for the pioneers and explorers of old. Its Funky Blue dial, a true H. Moser & Cie signature, plays a key role in this aesthetic, along with the company logo in its historic form, while all the technical elements, such as the tachymeter scale, the chronometer graduation, the subdials and the hands feature Super-LumiNova to ensure perfect legibility in any situation.
Housed in a 41-mm stainless steel case, the Endeavour Chronograph Compax is paired with a brown kudu leather strap, matched with stitching in a white thread. This detail is an elegant reminder of the features often found on historic dials. At the heart of this case is the H. Moser & Cie standard automatic movement, which is combined with a chronograph module to ensure it offers technical performance worthy of this exceptional timepiece.
The design of this collaborative piece, created by Massena LAB, steps away slightly from the minimalist philosophy usually associated with the watchmaking brand. However, it faithfully respects the aesthetic of the 1940s, striking a perfect balance between tradition and contemporary boldness. The expertise of William Massena, a great connoisseur of vintage watchmaking and long-standing friend of H. Moser & Cie, was crucial to the design of this timepiece.
