Just when I thought the Moser Streamliner couldn’t get any cooler, the brand goes and does something like this.

Although it lacks the name recognition of its more famous competitors in the integrated luxury sports watch category, like the AP Royal Oak and Patek Nautilus, the H. Moser & Cie. Streamliner ranks as one of the best options for well-heeled buyers. That’s due to the watch’s sleek cushion case, its comfortable serpentine integrated bracelet, its surprising robustness and Moser’s unique juxtaposition of ultra-minimalist dials with highly complex watchmaking.

But there’s one area where the Streamliner has lagged behind its competition. Unlike the Royal Oak, Zenith Defy Skyline, Girard-Perregaux Laureato and many other contemporaries, there’s never been a Streamliner made of ceramic. Steel and gold, sure, but nearly scratchproof ceramic? Nope.

That is, until now.

Sleeker Streamliner

Moser’s first-ever ceramic watch is the Streamliner Tourbillon Concept Ceramic, marking the fast-rising independent brand’s initial foray into one of the hottest trends in sports watches over the past decade. Ceramic has become popular due to its near-imperviousness to scratches, the fact that its color will never fade and, to a lesser extent, its lightweight and hypoallergenic attributes.

Moser’s new ceramic watch possesses the same fluid case and integrated bracelet design as other Streamliners, but it’s been crafted entirely out of anthracite gray ceramic. Both the 40mm case and bracelet have been hand-finished, with the material showing off the Streamliner’s mix of satin brushing and mirror polishing arguably better than previous materials.

The dark gray case and bracelet have been paired with a seriously bold, fire-red dial executed in Moser’s trademark fumé Grand Feu enamel style. The dial’s gradient effect is amplified here thanks to the darker case material, with the ceramic almost seeming to bleed into the dial’s black edges before giving way to the bright red center.

This is a “Concept” watch, which in Moser-speak does not mean it’s not a production model. Instead, it just means that the dial is devoid of any logos, indices or markings of any kind. Instead, all you’ve got are an hour and minute hand — each topped with a solid luminous ceramic Globolight insert — and a visible tourbillon at 6:00.

Moser makes some of the best tourbillons in the business, and the one appearing here comes courtesy of the manufacture’s in-house Calibre HMC 805 automatic movement, which has a power reserve of three days.

The tourbillon features two hairsprings, a rare setup that doubles down on the anti-gravity effect of the rotating escapement and improves precision. The rest of the movement is partially skeletonized with anthracite-coated bridges and a rose gold rotor, all visible through a sapphire caseback.

Despite this being a ceramic watch with an enamel dial and a tourbillon movement, this Streamliner is no delicate flower. Like the rest of the model line, the watch is water-resistant to an impressive 120m, putting it near the top of its genre for aquatic readiness.

Availability and pricing

Moser’s slogan is “very rare,” so although the Streamliner Tourbillon Concept Ceramic is not a limited edition and is now part of the brand’s permanent catalog, I don’t expect a whole lot of these to be produced.

Likely to further stifle the proliferation of this model is the price, as it is quite expensive. The watch’s $112,100 price tag makes it the second-priciest non-gold, non-gemset Streamliner currently in Moser’s catalog after the highly limited Streamliner Minute Repeater.
