H. Moser and Cie. 3808-1200 Pioneer Perpetual Calendar MD SS Burgundy Dial LIMITED

The H. Moser and Cie 3808-1200 Pioneer Perpetual Calendar MD stands as an exceptional and technically sophisticated addition to the modern haute horlogerie landscape. Debuting in 2019, this reference is distinguished by its rich Burgundy Fume dial, a signature of Moser’s artistry, and is produced in a scarce edition limited to just 50 pieces worldwide. The robust 42.8mm stainless steel case—measuring just 11.3mm thick—combines sporting versatility, with 120 meters of water resistance, and elegant finishing marked by alternating polished and brushed surfaces. Powered by the in-house hand-wound caliber HMC 808, the watch offers a perpetual calendar indication with two adjacent windows for date and month, all adjustable both forwards and backwards, and a subtle power reserve indicator along the edge of the dial. Uniquely, the leap year cycle is displayed on the reverse, visible through the sapphire caseback. The piece’s configuration, inclusive of skeletonized leaf hands and sharply finished indices, aligns the avant-garde with immense practicality. Among independent watchmaking efforts in calendar complications, the 3808-1200 resonates with collectors for its understated visual cues, mechanical innovation, and sheer rarity from a rising manufacture. This Burgundy Fume-dialed edition encapsulates the spirit of contemporary, collectable Swiss watchmaking. Like New with H. Moser and Cie box and papers dated 2022.
