Slug: h-moser-&-cie-introduces-the-new-streamliner-centre-seconds-smoked-salmon

If you bring the blinis, we will provide the smoked salmon to this watch fest. And that’s precisely what this is thanks to the new H. Moser & Cie Smoked Salmon Dial Streamliner Centre Seconds. This magnificent integrated-bracelet timepiece harks back to the 1970’s when prawn cocktails and Harvey Wallbangers were doing the rounds at dinner parties.

But smoked salmon is so much more than that. As versatile as a Rolex Daytona, don’t we all like a shmear of smoked salmon? Whether in a fresh salad with avocados and pomegranate seeds or splurging on some luxury offerings at Christmas, we all love to spoil ourselves with a bit of the pink stuff. Oh, and it’s just as good with a dollop of creamy scrambled eggs! Something else that is just as indulgent is the new H. Moser & Cie Streamliner Centre Seconds Smoked Salmon.

More smokin' than Jim Carrey, let’s take a deep dive into this brand new watch and if it cuts the horological mustard.

Background On The Streamliner Collection

Taking inspiration from classic train designs from the Roaring 20s when Berlin was ablaze with jazz music and icons like Marlene Dietrich comes another trailblazer - The Streamliner. This new found development in sleek lines and speed emanating from planes, trains and automobiles formed part of the so-called Streamline movement.

And H. Moser & Cie know their svelte looks blended effortlessly with modern elegance. This is encapsulated in the integrated steel bracelet that the brand is famed for. From the single links to the cushion-shaped case, no detail has been spared in the execution and beauty of this range. It’s highly durable too given its stainless steel but it is just as ergonomic and multi-purpose as you will find if you want to buy H. Moser & Cie.

Be A Good Sport…

Since 2020, H. Moser & Cie has attempted to put its horological stamp on the luxury sports market with the Streamliner Flyback Chronograph housing an Agenhor movement. Yet, sophistication is brought to the timekeeping table with the superb Streamliner collection.

Why are we banging this drum? Well, they are different and a tad unconventional to the normal luxury protagonists of the watch sector such as The Patek Philippe Aquanaut and Rolex Yacht-Master. Although the Streamliner collection has a plethora of three-handed models and tourbillons like the Vantablack to satisfy the hungriest of horophiles, there’s a new horological kid on the block.

Gentlemen, may we introduce the spanking new H. Moser & Cie Streamliner Centre Seconds Smoked Salmon (Bollinger not included)

First Impressions

We thought you would never ask…Well, they are everything after all and every second counts! And the Streamliner Centre Seconds Smoked Salmon does not disappoint. Call it pink, radial fumé, smoked salmon or smoky pink, the dial is mesmerising. And we haven't even gotten started with the special edition griffé dial.

Forget your retrograde or even Tantalum. If you are looking to buy H. Moser & Cie with the ultimate subtlety, this time-only version is the real deal. Don’t even think about glimpsing at date windows, apertures, sub-dials, tachymeters or a chronograph. The smoked salmon dial speaks for itself. It doesn’t need any blinis or bread and butter to convey its design excellence and smoky goodness. Unfussy and to the point, this latest three-handed iteration from the Streamliner stable makes us feel all George Jetson.

Futuristic retroism…is that a thing? It is here with the new H. Moser & Cie Streamliner Centre Seconds Smoked Salmon. As fresh as the salmon leaping in the River Tweed, H. Moser & Cie jumps into action with gusto for 2023 with this new horological delicacy. The original Matrix green dial watch, an enthusiast's favourite, has been discontinued. But proudly taking its place front and centre is this new Streamliner Centre Seconds Smoked Salmon. For all us connoisseurs, H. Moser & Cie have some of the finest pioneering designs in the watch business.

And the Streamliner is no different which can easily fit on any NOW That’s What I Call watch playlist. Ah, the 80s! This contemporary classic integrated sports watch features a majestic lug free design which gives it plenty of distinctiveness straight off the bat. A great piece of arm candy for any vintage watch fan or in the know enthusiast, it ticks many boxes.

What We Like: Design, retroism, brand-new fumé dial, glamour, chicness and timelessness.

Personality Of The H. Moser & Cie Streamliner Centre Seconds Smoked Salmon

Now, we could drone on about salmon dials till the cows come home…or the boutiques are closed for that matter. From The Patek Philippe 5172G to The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar Salmon Dial, pink salmon dials are as on trend as yellow gold watches.

But H. Moser & Cie do things a little alternatively when it comes to the new Streamliner Centre Seconds Smoked Salmon. Naturally, we are talking about how Moser flirts brazenly with their fumé method delivering lighter tones in the middle with a darker graduation moving towards the watch's edge. Meanwhile, the griffé dial is finished with vertical brushing. But what does this mean in reality?

Light and shadow go hand in hand like Earth, Wind and Fire leading to a range of different accents from pinky brown to chocolate tones. The hour and minute hands on the dial feature Globolight is packed with Super-Luminova. Fluidity, harmony and an air of calm are symbolised by the stunning yet simple dial. Measuring 40mm and just 10.3mm thick, the H. Moser & Cie Streamliner Centre Seconds Smoked Salmon is both unpretentious and special in its own way.

The stainless steel case benefits from a matte finish that is satin brushed while the slinky bracelet is a marvel on its own. Identical to all previous Streamliner models, the bracelet on the new Centre Seconds Smoked Salmon bears resemblance to a super silver wavy snake. Watch peeps should also note the polished bevels and vertical brush on this domed sapphire crystal case. Despite the height altering with this element to a smidgen over 12mm, we ain't clutching at straws.

But what we do like about the Streamliner Centre Seconds Smoked Salmon is the lack of text - there isn’t any...not even a “Swiss Made” reference. And H. Moser & Cie are renowned for pulling off this timekeeping masterstroke which draws many watch fans in when they buy H. Moser & Cie. Other horological highlights include the crown at 3 o’clock with a screw down case, metal framed hour and minute hands (just like the Matrix Green), applique indexes, 120 metres of water resistance and an impressive 72 hours of power reserve.

Calibre HMC 200 Movement

Powered by the HMC 200, the in-house movement on the new H. Moser & Cie Streamliner Centre Seconds Smoked Salmon is automatic and features a Straumann Hairspring produced by Precision Engineering AG. This is precisely the same movement that can be found housed inside the highly popular Matrix green watch.

Shall we get a move on with what else is going on inside? The oscillating weight emblazoned with the brand logo sparkles thanks to its solid gold composition while the bridges are adorned with the signature double stripes located on many Moser models. As mentioned, the movement should last for a minimum of 72 hours giving you the ability to take it on that all important business trip.

Pulsating along at 3Hz or 21,6000vph, the movement inside the new H. Moser & Cie Streamliner Centre Seconds Smoked Salmon is competent and smooth with hacking seconds and a bidirectional pawl winding system.

Are The Streamliner Centre Seconds Smoked Salmon A Fish Out Of Water?

What we can safely say is that this watch is without a doubt the horological catch of the day! And it’s championed by Edouard Meylan, CEO at H. Moser & Cie who happens to be a fly-fishing hobbyist. We have grown accustomed to the brand’s novel attitude to new releases. And his take on the new H. Moser & Cie Streamliner Centre Seconds Smoked Salmon is too good not to mention;

“There is salmon and there is salmon. Our inspiration is not taken from the traditional Atlantic salmon, but from its very rare cousin, the Oncorhynchus kisutch…each individual fish is smoked using a secret recipe and massaged each day by specialists using an oil infused with aromatic herbs picked from the slopes of the Himalayas with their unusual diet of crustaceans that have been pre-digested by pink flamingos...This is what gives the flesh this exceptional colour, and is the inspiration behind our new dial.”

Sounds bonkers? Absolutely but it is all part of the bravado and timekeeping mystique when you buy H. Moser & Cie. These far-fetched press releases and cryptic descriptions make them far more interesting than your run of the mill press releases from those usual Swiss brand suspects…ahem Rolex and AP.

What’s Our View?

So what do we think of the Streamliner Centre Seconds Smoked Salmon? Sublime, sleek, slinky, striking and brimming with character. Need we say more? This is definitely one to watch as a hot contender in the luxury sports watch sector.

The new smoked salmon dial needs no introduction which elevates it to new heights…and on the wrist. Pair this with a sharp navy suit or silver three piece for the perfect office attire or dress down with a cashmere jumper to enhance your arm candy.
