The Swiss brand with a self proclaimed sense of humor, H. Moser, have teamed up with the dapper menswear brand, The Armoury to release a pair of limited edition Vantablack clad Endeavor Small Seconds watches. The inspiration for the pair of dramatic watches was the equally dramatic celestial event of a total eclipse, conjuring a fitting visual to the highly polished surfaces meeting the total blackness of the Vantablack dial. The resulting Endeavour Small Seconds Total Eclipse present a unique take on the proprietary material, in ways you probably aren?t expecting.

Vantablack is a brand of super-black coating consisting of dense carbon nanotubes (VANTA = vertically aligned nanotube arrays). Okay, ?super-black? might be underselling this stuff. It absorbs nearly all light it encounters, but not violently like a black hole, rather ?when light strikes Vantablack, instead of bouncing off, it becomes trapped and is continually deflected amongst the tubes, eventually becoming absorbed and dissipating into heat.? The result is a material coating that will eat up to 99.965% of visible light. The stuff has practical applications within the aerospace sector (think preventing stray light from entering sensitive areas of telescopes), but H. Moser has done one better by applying it to the dial of a watch. Who needs to see those things, anyways"
The Endeavor Total Eclipse is not the first such instance of a Vantablack watch from H. Moser, but it is the first to apply hour...
