I’ve been awaiting this for a while now...

...but I can’t say that I’m impressed. I usually am all about Moser Bc of how avant-gard and all-Swiss they are but this timepiece left me cold. It comes off as a timepiece that was engineered to fill a void in an atelier’s collection, as opposed to something that was created out of passion.
1. I’m not sure how the famed fumé dial is of any real use while diving (ok, I know that most of these watches will never see anything deeper than a 5 meter end of an Olympic pool, but still)
2. Why does it need be on a bracelet? A nice sail cloth or rubber strap would have been sufficient and given some nice contrast
3. Why the shine-less rotating bezel? As if that is the only way to time dive times.
4. Nowadays, any “diver” boasting anything less than 300m is less-than-impressive.
Don’t get me wrong; I’m a huge fan of moser and what they have done. As a matter of fact, I’m in the process of putting an order for a pioneer (and saving up for their limited edition stainless steel perpetuals). But this diver...meh...There’s better-put-together divers on the market.
Just my humble opinion. I’m sure others would disagree and this watch may end being a major success for the brands. That’s what I like about watch collecting...the subjectivity

I don't know what the price will be, but I'm 90% sure I'll place an order for this one. Imagine if they did a green dial version!
Just not feeling this one.

Dial, hands, indices and the cursive signature speak to one style, whereas the bezel, case and bracelet seem to say something else entirely. A clear miss, in my opinion.

Bezel aside the size just ruined it for me. 39-41 for Sports watches!

Two reasons:

1) In my opinion there are already plenty of good option for nice sport watches, made by firms that, more or less, specialize in making these kinds of watches. 2) A Lange sport watch would probably be a commercial hit given the current fad that favors spo...
