Laurent Ferrier announced the Classic Traveller Meteorite in July 2022 as a 15-piece edition exclusive to the North American continent. Its defining feature is a deep metallic-blue dial cut from Muonionalusta meteorite; the watch pairs that distinctive surface with a practical dual-time display in a 41 mm Grade 5 titanium case. The manufacturer’s announcement describes the edition as North American-exclusive, while Monochrome Watches called it US-exclusive.
What makes the Classic Traveller Meteorite different?
The dial is cut from Muonionalusta, an iron meteorite. Laurent Ferrier says the meteorite fell in northern Scandinavia, west of the Sweden-Finland border, around 1 million years BCE. The fragment is galvanically treated, changing its original anthracite color to deep metallic blue. Because each dial comes from a different fragment, its natural pattern varies from watch to watch.
White raised silkscreen printing, Roman-style hour markers, a small-seconds track at six o’clock, and white-coated 18K white-gold hands provide contrast. The meteorite material—not a printed imitation of it—is the centerpiece of this limited edition.
How does its dual-time display work?
The central hour hand shows local time. Two push-pieces on the left side of the case move that hand forward or backward in one-hour steps without moving the minute hand. The date at three o’clock follows local time and changes as it passes midnight.

There is a published power-reserve discrepancy: Laurent Ferrier specifies 72 hours, and Monochrome’s article text also gives 72 hours, but its technical summary lists 80 hours. The manufacturer’s figure is the appropriate specification to use here.

European Watch Company’s exact-reference resale listing was marked sold when accessed on October 7, 2026. That status applies to that listing only and does not establish whether another example is currently available elsewhere. The dealer described its particular listing as including a Laurent Ferrier box, papers dated 2023 and a travel pouch; those listing details should not be assumed to describe every watch’s original contents.
