Introduction
Conceived during a production mishap involving the making of its dial, the H. Moser & Cie. Venturer XL Small Seconds is an exceedingly rare watch that combines Moser's signature minimalist style with a stunning dial to create something unique. Individually numbered and limited to just 100 pieces, the Venturer XL Small Seconds that we have here sports an Arctic Blue fumé dial with no branding, hour markers, or markings of any kind in a fitting continuation of Moser's minimalist aesthetic. With a sunburst finish across its majority, a stepped running seconds subdial with a subtle concentric guilloche engraving, this timepiece's dial says a lot without the need for overzealous styling. Powered by the immaculately finished cal. HMC 327 movement with three days of power reserve that is displayed behind its sapphire crystal exhibition caseback; the Venturer XL Small Seconds is a sight to behold from the rear just as much as it is the front.

THE DIAL
Classically Moser in its unfiltered simplicity, the Venturer XL Small Seconds' Arctic Blue fumé dial was actually created by accident during a production mishap which resulted in this rare 100 piece limited edition as Moser's CEO, Edouard, decided to keep the stunning dials.
THE MOVEMENT
Housed within its 43mm red gold case, the Venturer XL Small Seconds is powered by Moser's immaculately-finished and proudly exhibited manual-wind cal. HMC 327 movement with its own 3-day power reserve indicator.
