Moser and many others on two distinctive projects which are the Collective Series and Portfolio Series, these watches are made available to the Collective members through their shop. The 42mm brushed 316L stainless steel case curves over your wrist with sharp-angled chamfer-edges tapered lugs, a lug-to-lug length of 48.5mm and a case thickness of 11mm giving the watch an impressive wrist presence. On the right side is a signed screw-down crown with deep knurling for extra grip and is protected by crown guards, on the left side the case mirrors the shape of the crown guards giving it a symmetrical appearance. The unidirectional stainless steel bezel has a matte black ceramic dive insert, raised polished numerals and markings that add dimension to the insert. A flat sapphire crystal AR coated sits above the star of the show a vertically brushed radiant bronze dial that has been coated in a lacquer to prevent natural oxidation, the bronze plays with the light as you rotate your wrist.
