H. Moser & Cie And Studio Underd0g Unveil “Passion Fruit” Watch Duo
An unexpected collaboration or not is the surprise that H. Moser & Cie and Studio Underd0g announced today at Geneve Watch Days, two limited editions on the theme “Passion Fruit”.
The Studio Underd0g Passion Fruit 03 Series edition is presented in a mono-pusher chronograph format while the H. Moser & Cie Passion Fruit edition features the Endeavor Perpetual Calendar.
With the main theme being Passion Fruit, it is no surprise that the dials of both watches line up on a gradient yellow textured background with lilac details.
The Studio Underd0g Passion Fruit 03 is housed in a 38.50mm by 12.60mm stainless steel case, with sapphire crystal on the front and back, a fluted crown at 3 o’clock and a rectangular mono-pusher at 2 o’clock dedicated to the chronograph.
The yellow dial is adorned with a lilac 30-minute counter at 3 o’clock with an orange hand that matches the inner tachymeter bezel. Three black centre hands that include a chronometer seconds hand with a green “seed” tip and a snailed running seconds at 9 o’clock.
Powered by the 23-jewel Sellita SW510 M hand-wound movement it reaches 28,800 Vph and offers up to 63 hours of power reserve.
The H. Moser & Cie Passion Fruit wears the traditional polished stainless steel case measuring 42mm wide by 12.80mm high, sapphire crystal on both sides and an onion-shaped crown at 3 o’clock.
The purple lacquered dial is given a fumé grand feu enamel yellow, featuring two polished leaf centre hands with a tiny green “seed” hand for the months, a large date window with a black background next to the crown and a lilac small seconds at 6 o’clock that matches with the power reserve indicator at 9 o’clock, which once again comes without inscriptions in the usual minimalist style.
At its heart is the 32-jewel Manufacture HMC 800 movement, with a leap year indicator, operating at 18,000 Vph and offering an incredible 7 days of power reserve thanks to its double barrier.
The watches are sold together in a limited edition of 100 sets, with both watches attached to a black leather strap with a steel folding clasp and priced at USD 64,900.
