With its streamlined case, flexible integrated bracelet, and sensual contours, H. Moser & Cie.’s sleek Streamliner luxury sports watch continues its journey onwards, and in this case, upwards, with no signs of losing steam. Coinciding with Dubai Watch Week 2025, Moser unveils the new Streamliner Perpetual Moon Concept Meteorite, a hyper-accurate moon phase complication framed by a shard of outer space rock culled from the Gibeon meteorite.
Introduced in 2020 with a Flyback Chronograph, Moser’s aptly named Streamliner luxury sports watch collection did not try to emulate the formula of the Royal Oak and its countless copycats. Instead, the Streamliner drew inspiration from the remarkable vehicles that emerged in America during the Streamliner Moderne period (1920s-1930s), which celebrated the modern machine age and the newfound passion for speed with sleek, aerodynamic designs employed on trains, ocean liners, airplanes, and cars.
Design and Features of the Streamliner Perpetual Moon
The new Perpetual Moon comes in a 40mm steel case with a thickness of 11.4mm (with sapphire crystal 13.2mm) and a water resistance of 120 meters. Flowing seamlessly from the lug-free case, the slinky bracelet has articulated, tapering lugs that adapt perfectly to the wrist. The case is decorated with satin-brushed finishes, and the slightly recessed case middle is also brushed and sandwiched between two polished bevels. Following suit, the bracelet’s links are vertically brushed with contrasting polished bevels between each link, and the watch is attached to the wrist with a triple-folding clasp.
Connecting with the vastness of the universe, the dial is crafted from a sliver of the Gibeon meteorite that hurtled through space before crashing in Namibia. With its unique Widmanstätten pattern produced by the iron-nickel alloys, the meteorite dial is embellished with a golden tone and, in true Moser fashion, a fumé or gradient effect. Like all Moser’s “concept” watches, the dial is stripped down to its bare essentials. Bereft of hour markers, the only other elements on the dial are the central red gold hour and minute hands with Globolight inserts and the large cut-out hole at 6 o’clock for the moon phase complication.
A Legacy of Precision and Innovation
This is not the first moon phase complication from Moser. Enthusiasts have enjoyed it before on board a couple of Endeavour models, including the light-absorbing Vantablack watch. Fitted with one of the most precise moon-phase complications available, with one day’s deviation every 1,027 years, the phases can be adjusted to the minute by a pusher on the side of the case. The red gold Moon is depicted with a golden, textured surface and is set against a black background.

Implications for the Luxury Watch Market
The announcement of the Streamliner Perpetual Moon Concept Meteorite comes as the luxury watch market continues to evolve, with brands increasingly seeking to differentiate themselves through unique materials and innovative complications. The use of meteorite in watchmaking is not entirely new, but Moser’s application of it in a moon phase complication adds a layer of cosmic allure that is bound to attract collectors and enthusiasts alike.
According to industry experts, the integration of such rare materials not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of the watch but also positions Moser as a brand that is willing to push the boundaries of traditional watchmaking. This move represents a broader trend within the industry, where the fusion of art, science, and luxury is becoming a hallmark of high-end timepieces.
Meanwhile, the Streamliner collection itself continues to gain traction among watch aficionados. Its distinct design, inspired by the Streamliner Moderne period, sets it apart from other luxury sports watches, offering a fresh alternative to the more ubiquitous designs on the market.
Looking Ahead
As the watch industry looks towards the future, innovations like the Streamliner Perpetual Moon Concept Meteorite are likely to inspire further creativity and experimentation. The combination of historical inspiration with cutting-edge technology and materials positions H. Moser & Cie. as a forward-thinking brand that respects tradition while embracing the future.
With the unveiling of this new model at Dubai Watch Week 2025, H. Moser & Cie. has once again demonstrated its commitment to excellence and innovation. As collectors and enthusiasts eagerly anticipate the watch’s release, the Streamliner Perpetual Moon Concept Meteorite is set to make a significant impact on the luxury watch market.
