Summary

  • H. Moser & Cie. unveiled the Off-Grid as a digital watch aimed at enthusiasts rather than smartwatch users, with two PVD-treated steel versions limited to 1,000 pieces each.
  • CHF 3,900 buys a hybrid design that keeps Moser’s minimalist look while adding a small digital display at 6 o’clock, positioned as a middle ground between mechanical watches and connected devices.
  • The D10 caliber—developed with Sequent—delivers accuracy of ±0.3 seconds a day and up to 12 months of power reserve in time-only mode, dropping to six months with broader functions active.
  • Functions include GMT, a 1/100-second split-seconds chronograph, perpetual calendar, moonphase, sunrise and sunset data, alarm, timer and an Off-Grid travel mode, while Bluetooth Low Energy 5.3 supports iOS and Android without making the watch app-dependent.
