Hands-On With The Very Black H. Moser x UNDEFEATED Streamliner Chronograph
Hype collaborations have reached a fever pitch in recent years, and while they may be nearing a jumping of the shark moment, there?s some interesting and rather unexpected stuff being released as a result. One such example is this collaboration between the high-horology Swiss watchmaker with a sense of humor, H. Moser and upscale LA based sneaker and streetwear boutique, UNDEFEATED. The resulting Streamliner Chronograph is a collab that pushes the watch well outside its comfort zone, bringing an all-black motif to the case, dial, and most interestingly, the bracelet. H. Moser is a brand that feels very much at home when playing outside the usual sandbox, and, while not without fault, this collab feels right in the sweet spot.Â
H. Moser introduced the first Streamliner Chronograph in 2020, bringing a new spin to the high-end integrated sport watch craze that was just taking hold at the time. The Streamliner, in any of its configurations, features a unique design that defies easy explanation. The shape of the case head is a bit pillow-like, while the integrated bracelet reads closer to some type of alien armor than it does a watch band. The execution is impeccable, as you?d expect on watches in this price tier, and this specific example features a dial unlike anything we?ve seen from H. Moser before.
The dial gets applied numerals at the cardinal positions, which look to be done in high black polish, with the UNDEFEATED logo (which is the Roman numeral 4) at 12 o?...
