Amazing pics! This is exactly what I was feeling when I tried the watch on. At 7.25 inch wrist, I find that the way the end links and first link of the bracelet are curved, the watch actually digs into my wrist some. I imagine for smaller wrists, it helps the watch wear beautifully.

This is a beautifully executed watch. I don't know why Moser doesn't make more of these kinds of watches, especially on bracelet.

I know they have a design language and aesthetic, but they are bordering on boring if they don't keep iterating on their case designs. This pure sporting look just looks right in my opinion.

Depends on the wrist. I have a 7.25” wrist as well and the watch is extremely comfortable on my wrist. My only issue is that the micro adjustment is useless for my wrist. There are no half links to remove so the watch is either on the tighter side with micro open all the way, or I add a link and it’s slightly lose with micro closed all the way. Shame as the micro adjustment is fantastic and something I love with a bracelet as my wrist swells more in the morning (that’s what she said!).

Good point, shape of wrist is very important too. I'm just glad I was able to try before I buy. It seems trying before you buy is a challenge for a lot of pieces in high demand, but it's always a good idea.

I totally agree with you. If this reference were part of their standard lineup, I’m pretty sure it’d be one of their best sellers. But perhaps they care more about differentiation? This reference seems a bit too “mainstream” as far as Moser goes…

Would anyone happen to know what grade titanium is used for these?

I completely agree as well as I too have a 6.6 in. wrist and this reference fits perfectly. It would likely fit a wrist up to 7.1 nicely. It checks all the Moser "boxes" and in so glad Govberg and Moser teamed up for this beauty. I wonder if there are any left?

I had the same question. I don’t have any official confirmation, but at this price point I presume it is Grade 5 Titanium.

Thank you. I sent a message to one of the Moser reps online asking them and waiting for a response.

Nicholas Hofmann and he confirmed that the a grade 5 is used for the Govberg pioneer.

New H. Moser Limited

I was interested in getting it so I then set up an appointment and was able to try it on but for some strange reason it didn’t connect with me. My buddy who came along was in love with it. Maybe it just felt to lightweight for me and the 40mm size was off to me. It’s a really Cool looking piece though with a great bracelet. I ended up picking up the Rose Gold Pioneer with blue dial.

Beautiful watch, congrats. I believe there are only 5 more of the titanium limited edition pieces left. At least 1 had a gold rotor. Odd that some had gold rotors, most had tungsten.

Any update on if they're sold out yet?

I believe there are a few left. I personally saw one at Govberg's last week and 2 weeks ago there were 5 left. It's such a wonderful titanium reference in 40mm that not one has been seen on C24 for resale.

Nope, not sold out yet. Just confirmed with Govberg that they still have some left.

This model is SS would be awesome. I kinda like some heft in a watch.

Is there any chance Moser might reissue that earlier version with the GMT bezel in the larger size (SS)? That was also a winner to me.

I'm not generally a fan of titanium watches but this one feels more "heft" than others due to the bracelet.
I'd hope they won't "re-release" the previous SS GMT bezel one or this one for that matter. Keep the LEs truly "limited" IMHO!

Very nice piece. Indeed, talking to my SA, this is still available as of last weekend at Govberg. It says this is 40 mm watch. From the photos though, it looks like more than that.

It’s 40mm and wears like a 40mm (for me at least)

Mine fits perfectly as a 40 mm, the curved lugs hug the wrist with a great slim profile. Wearing it more and more. Go for it.

Thanks for sharing the photos. I passed on this one because I just made another purchase and I would like to enjoy that for some time first. It is however a very nice, unique Moser.
