Our favorite New Zealand-based watch company Magrette is back with a new watch model called the Moana Pacific Professional. In addition to a slightly new design flavor and more sporty attire, the Moana Pacific Professional finally uses the well-received Japanese Miyota 9015 automatic movement that we actually covered back here.

Omega Seamaster Ploprof 1200M Watch Review
An ad for the original Omega Ploprof stated, “It may not look pretty on the surface, but deep down it’s beautiful.” It is a curious statement for an official advertisement, but well sums up a lot of what the original early 1970s super diver was all about. Omega was one of the lead innovators along [...]
ArmourLite Professional AL46 Watch Review

It more or less combined the best features of a dive watch with the best features of an aviator watch. For many people, this is the ultimate “mission” timepiece. Two years after the original Vortex was released the [...]

A dive watch with a rugged spirit and a designer face, the Classico Blue has a unique design meant to appeal to guys all over the world. Dievas watches always revolve around a diving watch theme.

Omega Speedmaster Solar Impulse HB-SIA Watch
This is a watch that I could really see myself wanting – even though it has a carbon fiber dial that I tend to not always enjoy (though I did like it on my Tissot T-Touch Expert). Yes, this has been a month of many Omega watches, but they have had some interesting releases so [...]
