Introducing – H. Moser & Cie. Streamliner Flyback Chronograph Funky Blue (Live Photos & Video Review)

It seems that most brands need to enter this race to gain the heart of enthusiasts. H.

Now, the Streamliner Flyback Chronograph comes back with a typically-Moser “Funky Blue” fumé dial and in the permanent collection. And it looks stunning, as you can see in our video review.
