It appears not - but is there any taper to the bracelet?

Yes. 20mm to 18mm

Got my piece this past week and I’m absolutely loving it. This reference is seriously special and hasn’t left my wrist since.

Question for you all — what material / color is your rotor on the movement? Mine appears to be rose gold. But the photos I’ve seen online all show a grey rotor that I believe is Tungsten. Not sure why mine is different? I bought it straight from Govberg.

A bit hard to tell the color of the rotor in the photo

It does come across as a rose gold color. Buti t may be the lighting conditions . . .

Isn't that a great dial?

Crazy! Definitely not the same as mine!

The dial is striking. The rotor on mine is definitely rose gold in color — the photos don’t portray the colors very well. Definitely not just the lighting! Is your rotor rose gold or tungsten/grey?

Crazy indeed! I wonder if mine was a mistake? Or maybe Moser ran out of tungsten rotor HMC 200 movements. Or perhaps they decided to switch to rose gold rotors midway through the production of 100 pieces?

Mine's tungsten too.

Mine, as well, is tungsten. Odd for sure, certainly doesn't make sense for the same limited edition to have different rotors. Absolutely Loving it still

Upon a deeper dive, the actual rotor for this titanium Govberg LE is indeed tungsten, not gold.

Okay, so why the rose gold on the other one?

I know that Moser likes to drop in completed movements instead of fixing an existing movement, but was this that kind of mixup?

That being said, isn't a rose gold rotor technically a higher end material than tungsten?

I agree, I wonder if he called moser or govberg to find out. Tungsten is 10x harder than gold , similar weight and significantly cheaper. The tungsten look within this titanium case certainly looks more fitting, imo

I messaged my SA at Govberg to find out why my rotor is rose gold and no one else’s is, but I’m still waiting to hear back. Not sure if they’ll be able to give me any concrete info. Anyone know if I will actually hear back from Moser if I try reaching out to them directly?

I’ve been torn the past weekend on whether I think it’s a plus or minus that my rotor is rose gold. On the one hand, I think it’s cool that my piece seems like it was a mistake and therefore feels a bit unique. And technically, gold is a more expensive metal than tungsten.

On the other hand, I agree that tungsten is a more fitting look for this reference. Tungsten blends in with the monochromatic, media blasted look of the titanium and keeps the striking blue dial as the only pop of color.

Regardless, I’m still absolutely loving this watch and it’s wearability. It’s become an immediate favorite in my whole collection. And so far the HMC200 has been shockingly precise — it’s adding just +0.21 seconds per day!

Looking forward to the update once you hear back. Definitely a unique piece!

Tried one of these on today and while it’s a beautiful piece, I really didn’t like how stiff the end links on the bracelet were. The bracelet and lugs are so sharply turned downward and don’t seem to articulate very well. Do any owners notice that or is it just me?

In the interest of turning lemon into lemonade, you can legitimately claim that your Moser is a piece unique. A 1 of 1.

Christies would be the next stop.....kinda like those upside down printed stamps.

On my 6.6 in wrist the downward lug profile fits beautifully. The lightness of the titanium is wonderful as well.

I think that's in common with a lot of bracelets. My PF, Urban Jurgensen and Nautilus were all the same. that's why your wrist has to have the right curve / size otherwise the first link extends out too much. This Moser isn't an issue for me with a 7 inch wrist. But I'll accept it's horses for courses........!

[rag5178]

I’m just glad I was able to try it on. Most of my other watches on bracelets lay relatively flat if you were to take the watch off and lay it on a desk, dial side up. The moser, due to the articulation of the end links, would stand fully upright it seemed. My wrist is a little over 7 inches though so maybe that was the issue for me. At any rate, my usual problem is falling in love and buying too many watches, so I’m actually a bit relieved this one was an easier pass for me.

I've just tried the Moser compared to my PF Chrono - you're right and it's not just the first link but the second is quite "curved" too. I'd n ot previously noticed it and, as I've said, it's not a problem for me but as you get over 7 inch wrist, it may start to dig in a bit.

Agreed! Great point. Well, I have certainly been enjoying my piece unique Moser these past few weeks

I have a 6.6 in wrist. I find that the downward curve of the lugs and articulation of the bracelet links makes the piece fit beautifully and comfortably.

Here’s what it looks like from the side when the bracelet is spread as wide open as possible:



And here are some shots showing it next to some other watches with bracelets. You can see that it certainly doesn’t articulate as widely as the others:




By the way, can we talk about how incredible the LUME on this piece is? Outshines (pun intended) every other sports watch in my collection by a mile. The luminous ceramic compound that they use (“Globolight”) is stunning. I hope other brands consider using this new material as well:

I love how you have them all lined up on the floor for a photo. That’s the kind of dumb **** my wife catches me doing regularly and has no choice but to keep it moving lol
