From what I understand,
HMC applies three layers of DLC coating hence it's supposedly one of the toughest on the market. Moreover, it's DLC applied on Titanium as opposed to steel, hence more shock resistant. If I hadn't already bought my own piece, I probably would have seriously considered the black edition! 
Do let us know if you go ahead and pls share a few pictures with us...
The MOST boring watch to look at on the evening of Feb 29th...
Yet it's definitely one of the most treasured pieces among my perpetual calendar watches... Stepping back almost a decade ago, when Moser announced the perpetual 1, I was captivated at first sight. The dial was clean, with almost NO excess information. It...
Such a beauty
The model is a wonderful exercise in restraint, and that particular version you have is extremely handsome - congrats!
Most beautiful rather than most boring
I share your love for the extremely clean dial and believe the perpetual 1 is THE perpetual calendar to go for. Interesting to read that you had some substantial inputs into their evolvement of the product range . I had the chance to visit H. Moser in 201...
I've never been a fan of such clean, simple dials, BUT....
Moser pulls it off like no other. I absolutely love the softness of these dials and the overall design of these pieces.
Less is More
Thanks for your post! “Largely bored w/ the typical layout of perpetual calendar pieces with multiple sub dials indicating day of the week, date, month, leap years etc etc. I was looking for a simpler layout” That is exactly why I have NOT bought a perpet...
A great concept
I like minimalistic look and this does it for me. I actually like the Black Edition of this watch but I am not sure how resistant that DLC coating is. Thank you for sharing this with us. One of the best perpetual calendars out there.

I got a reply from HMC with regards to the DLC coating
They said if it comes off, they will not be able to repair/ recoat it. The part will need to be replaced! Nevertheless, I think this is a great watch and I am still thinking about the black edition. Such a wearable PC and practical. I will definitely post...
Like you, I've already had a grey fume dial Endeavour Small Seconds (Mayu). If I were to get a perpetual calendar,
the one like yours would be perfect! I can't even dream of any opportunities of getting involved in the development of my own dream watch. Oh! How I envy you.
Superb ! Beautiful pics .....
of the blue fume dial and movement . the double hairspring is ingenious. Big congrats and hope to see more of it in the near future ! Cheers !
What a great PC!
Love the minimalism and the execution - not hard to understand why it is one of your favorites
Indeed a VERY rare combination
of exceptional minimalist design and sound technical concept/execution.
perfect marraige
Congrats! This is too my favourite perpetual calendar out there due to it's clean lay out but your piece is truly breathtaking!
Having owned a few perpetual calendar
I consider myself rather critical but I'm truly impressed by this piece.
Some questions...
This is an amazing piece and I am thinking of getting the black edition. I have never owned an H. Moser, what has been your experience with the service quality and length? Is the watch keeping a good time? Have you noticed any problem with the watch, for ...
I've had her for
almost a year so there's absolutely no need for service quite yet! (Thank god for that!) No problem whatsoever w/ the date jumping so far although I haven't put it on a timer yet. However, based on my casual observation, the time keeping is pretty decent....
