In 2015, H. Moser & Cie. introduced its celebrated Pioneer collection that combined elegance with the practicality and robustness of a sports watch. The brand has now expanded that collection with a satellite time display, which first appeared in 2018 in its other iconic line, the Endeavour—introducing the Pioneer Flying Hours.

Two models mark the launch. The first is housed in a 42.8 mm case crafted in 5N red gold with black DLC-coated titanium inserts, paired with a deep aventurine dial that evokes a starry night sky. The second is crafted in stainless steel paired with a white fumé dial with a sunburst finish. Significant to H. Moser & Cie., both dials remain logo-free, keeping the focus on the display’s complexity. On the dial, three satellite discs orbit around a skeletonised central minutes disc. At the precise turn of the hour, a numeral jumps sharply into position, visible in the hour aperture.
Both timepieces measure differently in terms of thickness—the gold-and-titanium model measures 16.1 mm, while the steel edition is slimmer at 14.2 mm. The watches are water-resistant to about 120 metres.

Driving the mechanism is the in-house automatic calibre HMC 240, adapted specifically for the instantaneous jump system. The movement features a Straumann hairspring with a flat overcoil and a bi-directional winding system. Depending on the model, it is equipped with either a solid red gold rotor (gold-and-titanium edition) or a tungsten rotor (steel edition). It runs at a frequency of 3 Hz and delivers about 72 hours of autonomy.
Each version is paired with a textured rubber strap. The red gold and titanium edition is flanked with a black strap secured with a DLC titanium pin buckle, while the steel edition comes with a grey strap and steel buckle.
