Since its debut on the Streamliner Centre Seconds in 2023, the smoked salmon shade has proven itself essential to the modern Moser palette. Clearly, the pink is here to stay, with H. Moser & Cie. pairing it with its signature neoclassical aesthetics in the new Endeavour Perpetual Calendar Smoked Salmon. Inspired by the copper highlights of barrel-aged whisky, the dial’s vertical griffé finish gives it a textured, almost mineral quality, while the fumé effect transforms how light plays across the surface — from soft copper to warm brown — revealing layers of depth with every glance.

Salmon-colored dials have long held a special place in watchmaking, first emerging in the 1930s and ’40s as a subtle twist on traditional silver, black, and white faces. Their warm, coppery glow quickly became a hallmark of classic dress watches, radiating quiet elegance and refined taste. Through the mid-century, these dials were favored in chronometers and perpetual calendars, giving these complications a classical burst of color that ages beautifully.

Moser’s latest release unites three of their hallmarks: the Smoked Salmon dial, the Endeavour case, and the Perpetual Calendar complication. Powered by the HMC 800 calibre, a small central hand indicates the months, while the large date window at 3 o’clock features the Flash Calendar for instant midnight changes. A power reserve indicator at 9 o’clock displays seven days of autonomy, and the crown allows effortless, damage-free adjustments at any time — a true convenience for a perpetual calendar.

At 42 mm in white gold, the Endeavour Smoked Salmon showcases refined proportions, harmonious form, and rich colour depth. The transparent lacquer logo, a discreet signature, underscores the brand’s dedication to subtlety and understated luxury.
