The H. Moser & Cie. x Massena LAB Endeavour Chronograph Compax pairs a vintage-inspired two-register dial with a 41 mm steel case and an automatic HMC 220 movement fitted with a Dubois-Dépraz chronograph module. Reference 1220-1200 was made as a 100-piece limited edition. Massena LAB’s product page currently lists it at $27,600 and marks it out of stock; that is the page’s current listing, not proof that every example has sold.
A vintage Moser layout, reinterpreted
Massena LAB says the design takes inspiration from Moser chronographs of the 1940s. The Funky Blue fumé sunburst dial combines a historic Moser logo with a tachymetric scale and two recessed registers. Luminous leaf-shaped hour and minute hands and luminous dial markings provide the time display; the central chronograph seconds hand and 45-minute counter handle elapsed time, while the small-seconds register runs continuously.
The October 16, 2024 hands-on report from Hodinkee highlights the sculpted case flanks and concave bezel. Its reviewer said the relatively large case wore well on their wrist; that is an individual assessment, not a guarantee of fit for every wrist.
