Moser Streamliner Ranking

How would you rank the 3 offerings available to date as far as the following categories?

1. Creativity
2. Uniqueness
3. Wearability and usability
4. Overall your preference to have if able

These came out within a short time and interested to know how the chips fall for others out there. They are all fairly different in terms of look and certainly purpose and technical detail.

I like the case design but can’t get on board with the dial design or hands on them. I realize I’m in the minority and they are quite popular.

I’ve only seen the blue Flyback Chrono, but I’ve handled the green Centre Seconds because that’s the one I was most interested in. It wears really nicely, it’s smooth, light and thin. The dial is the most beautiful sunburst I’ve ever seen, it looks like it has multiple burst overlapping giving it a sort of butterfly effect. (It’s wrapped in plastic, so hard to capture with the light)



All three of them have the same design language, which is very unique, there is nothing like it. But only the Centre Seconds is 40mm, the others are 42.3mm, which in my book is too large for a watch like this.

It’s a marvelous watch, but you have to ask yourself the question, how long do you think you will be able to enjoy the design. It’s so unique, different and alien-esque that it’s difficult to predict how long you will enjoy the design. But I am still dreaming about this watch though, especially the dial, it really wowed me and that doesn’t happen very often anymore

I rank them

Perp, want
Dragon, own
Chrono, not crazy about pusher on left

A blue perp ss or three hander in rg blue would be grail worthy

I was excited for the streamliner perpetual but it wore large for my small wrist. I hope they make it 40mm someday.

Tried on the Streamliner Perpetual and it wears smaller than its size suggest. Beautiful watch, if only I could get one…

I would say the Streamliner flyback is my favourite watch (out of about 40), even taking into account recency bias. It wears like a 38mm.

I like them all, but for me the time only is the best case size, so that’s what I went with

I'm trying to decide if I like the center seconds green dragon or the chrono better. There's something fascinating about the chrono piece particularly given the movement in it. Though it seems the green dial time only is super popular above the others.

I opted for the centre seconds and it has fallen into the rotation.

Very cool piece
