H. Moser & Cie Unveils The Bold And Bright Pioneer Spiced Aqua Collection
H. Moser & Cie continues to push the boundaries of contemporary watchmaking with the introduction of the Pioneer Spiced Aqua Collection, a vibrant and colorful reinterpretation of its popular Pioneer line. This new sub-series includes three existing models presented in striking turquoise and orange color combinations, available across different levels of mechanical complexity.
Pioneer Centre Seconds Spiced Aqua
At the foundation of the collection is the Pioneer Centre Seconds Spiced Aqua, now available in two case finishes: stainless steel or black DLC-coated stainless steel. Both variants feature a 42.80 mm case, water-resistant to 120 meters, and equipped with a screw-down crown. The signature Moser fumé dial is finished in a vivid turquoise with a gradient dégradé effect, devoid of markers or branding. Surrounding the dial is a bright orange Super-LumiNova-coated flange, enhancing legibility in low light and adding a dynamic contrast.
Powering the watch is the HMC 201 automatic calibre, an in-house movement with a 72-hour power reserve and refined finishing. The steel version is paired with a white rubber strap, while the DLC-coated model comes with an orange strap. A stainless steel bracelet is also offered as an option. Retail pricing begins at CHF 14,500 for the standard steel version and CHF 16,000 for the DLC-coated edition (both prices excluding taxes).
H. Moser & Cie, Pioneer Centre Seconds Spiced Aqua, 3201-1202 (steel) and 3201-1205 (DLC). Turquoise fumé dial with an orange flange, stainless steel case, 42.80 mm diameter, 12 mm thickness, sapphire crystal, 120 meters water resistance. White rubber strap (steel), orange rubber strap (DLC). Calibre HMC 201, automatic movement, hour, minutes, seconds, 21,600 Vph, 72 hours of power reserve. Price: CHF 14,500 (steel), CHF 16,000 (DLC) plus taxes.
Pioneer Tourbillon Spiced Aqua
The next model, the Pioneer Tourbillon Spiced Aqua, introduces a higher degree of horological complexity. It cames in a smaller 40 mm stainless steel case with the same 120-meter water resistance but reverses the color theme. The fumé orange central dial is complemented by a turquoise Super-LumiNova-coated flange. At 6 o’clock, the one-minute flying tourbillon is prominently displayed, featuring a double hairspring for improved precision and reduced positional error.
The watch is powered by the HMC 805 automatic movement, offering a 3-day power reserve and beating at 21,600 vibrations per hour. This model is presented on a turquoise rubber strap and priced at CHF 49,900 (excluding taxes).

Pioneer Cylindrical Tourbillon Skeleton Spiced Aqua
Topping the collection is the Pioneer Cylindrical Tourbillon Skeleton Spiced Aqua, a model that showcases both advanced engineering and aesthetic transparency. This watch is housed in a 42.80 mm stainless steel case, fitted with an ultra-domed sapphire crystal that increases its total height to 15.30 mm. Like the rest of the line, it remains water-resistant to 120 meters.
The openworked design reveals the in-house HMC 811 calibre, a self-winding movement with a cylindrical hairspring and flying tourbillon. Time is indicated on an off-centred domed sub-dial in fumé orange, with turquoise Globolight® inserts used for the hour markers and hands. This visually striking edition is delivered on a turquoise rubber strap, with a retail price of CHF 79,000 (excluding taxes).
