The Streamliner Genesis 2: A New Chapter In Moser’s Digital-Inspired Trilogy
H. Moser & Cie. continues its exploration of digital aesthetics and modern manufacturing with the new Streamliner Genesis 2, the second chapter in the brand’s ongoing Genesis trilogy. After the experimental Endeavour Genesis of 2022, the concept now arrives in the Streamliner collection, bringing together the line’s refined sports-watch architecture and visual cues inspired by contemporary technology and advanced 3D-printing.
A Familiar Streamliner Silhouette with a New Edge
The Streamliner Genesis 2 preserves the characteristic proportions of the redesigned Streamliner generation. The watch features a 40 mm cushion-shaped stainless steel case with a height of 12.10 mm including the domed sapphire crystal and it is paired with the collection’s well-known integrated steel bracelet, which is engineered for seamless comfort and fluid movement around the wrist. The case and bracelet combine vertically brushed surfaces with polished accents, maintaining the elegant sports-watch identity of the family.
One visual departure immediately sets this model apart: its 3D-printed titanium crown. The crown’s rough, pixel-like texture recalls the aesthetic introduced in the first Genesis release and introduces a digitally inspired contrast to the otherwise sleek case lines. The watch also maintains a practical water-resistance rating of 120 metres, reinforcing the Streamliner’s functional capabilities.
A Vantablack Dial That Erases All Distractions
At the centre of the design is a dial coated in Vantablack, the ultra-dark material engineered to absorb almost all visible light. Moser has used this material in several previous creations, and here it creates a dial that appears completely devoid of depth or reflections. In keeping with the brand’s emphasis on minimalism, the dial includes no logo, no indices, and no printed markings of any kind.
Only the hour and minute hands emerge from the darkness. These hands follow the signature elongated profile of the Streamliner collection, although they have been reinterpreted with pixel-edged contours that echo the grainy structure of the crown. Both hands are filled with Globolight to ensure legibility in low-light conditions.
The HMC 203 Calibre: Visible Architecture and Mechanical Refinement
Through the sapphire caseback, the wearer can observe the in-house HMC 203 automatic movement. The calibre is designed with partially skeletonised bridges finished in an anthracite tone, allowing greater visibility of the mechanical components beneath. Moser’s characteristic double stripes decorate the bridges, adding depth and texture to the movement’s architecture. An 18k gold openworked rotor contributes both weight for efficient winding and a view into the movement’s inner workings. The large balance wheel beats at a frequency of 21,600 vibrations per hour, while the barrel provides a minimum power reserve of three days.
