H. Moser & Cie. and Massena LAB have joined forces to create a remarkable timepiece—the Endeavour Chronograph Compax. This limited-edition watch beautifully blends vintage charm with modern innovation. Inspired by the iconic chronographs of the 1940s and 50s, this collaboration breathes new life into the Endeavour collection, focusing on mid-century aesthetics and mechanical mastery. Limited to just 100 pieces, the Endeavour Chronograph Compax is more than a watch; it’s a collector’s dream celebrating fine horology while embracing contemporary craftsmanship.
The 41mm stainless steel case exudes timeless elegance with its polished surfaces, vertically brushed accents, and a refined concave bezel. The case maintains the signature curved profile of the Endeavour series but introduces retro elements like the mushroom-style chronograph pushers, adding a classic touch to this modern creation. The dial is where this collaboration truly shines, featuring a bi-compax layout with small seconds and a 45-minute counter. The gradient blue fumé dial, one of Moser’s signature colors, provides a cool, modern contrast to the vintage cream-colored Arabic numerals and tachymeter scale. These retro design elements are complemented by Super-LumiNova accents that ensure legibility in low light while maintaining the vintage-inspired aesthetic.
Inside the case beats Moser’s 3-day automatic HMC 220 movement, paired with a Dubois Dépraz chronograph module. The decision to use a modular chronograph movement allows for a harmonious balance of style and functionality without compromising the watch’s proportions. Despite the added complexity of the chronograph, the case remains relatively slim at 13.3mm, making it comfortable for daily wear.
The movement operates at 3Hz and boasts an impressive 72-hour power reserve, all while delivering the precision and performance that Moser is known for. Flip the watch over, and you’ll find a sapphire crystal caseback showcasing the intricate inner workings of the movement, finished with Moser’s signature 19th-century-inspired hand-finishing techniques.
Adding to its luxurious appeal is the brown kudu leather strap, which features white stitching that complements the watch’s refined yet rugged look. The H. Moser & Cie. x Massena LAB Endeavour Chronograph Compax is not just a tool for timekeeping; it’s a statement piece that harkens back to the golden age of chronographs while offering modern reliability and style. This limited-edition piece represents an opportunity for serious watch enthusiasts to own a unique blend of history and contemporary watchmaking artistry. Priced at $28,555, this exclusive release will capture collectors’ worldwide attention.
