The best sports-luxe watches to invest in now

H Moser & Cie's new sports watch looks, at first glance, like any other sports-luxe watch released into a market that's clearly keen for them Last year saw a slew of takes on the idea from brands across the spectrum, ranging from the Bell & Ross BR05 through to Chopard's Alpine Eagle - all of which draw on the codes that Genta established back in 1971, as have any number of watches from labels across the luxury sector recently All that is what makes H Moser & Cie's Streamliner so interesting.

Yes, it's in steel; yes, it has a top-class movement; and yes, it has a noticeably 1970s feel - but its design owes more to the 'bullhead' chronographs from the likes of Omega in the early '70s and IWC's work with Porsche Design More refined than its antecedents, the Streamliner is something genuinely new and a welcome breath of fresh air in the crowded sports-watch arena Omega's Speedmaster was conceived as a high-quality instrument rather than a luxury watch when the line was introduced in the late 1950s, but the newly launched Moonwatch 321 turns that thinking on its head.

It's a homage to the Speedmaster's past and aimed squarely at the collector, with its remade calibre 321 and 'correct' period details such as the logo The movement is a complete reproduction of the movement used in the original Speedmasters, including those employed in the Apollo programme, and assembly of the watches will be by individual watchmakers within a special atelier set up at Omega's HQ in Bienne. .
