Magrette Moana Pacific Watches

When it comes to choosing timepieces here at The Coolector, we always gravitate towards those that are built for adventure with an impactful presence on the wrist. These requirements led us squarely to the door of Magrette, an awesome New Zealand watch brand, and their wonderfully eye-catching Moana Pacific collection of watches. There is a real sailing inspiration to the timepieces from Magrette and this truly shines through in the Moana Pacific series.

Available in three different iterations, the Moana Pacific Watches from Magrette are stylistically right up our street here at Coolector HQ and not only are they great value for money, but they are one of the coolest-looking timepieces you can add to your wrist in 2024. Check out the three watches from this new collection below:


The Waterman GMT Bronze from Magrette is a notable timepiece featuring a 40mm bronze case with a polished ceramic bezel insert. Its heart beats with the Miyota Cal. 9075 automatic GMT movement, allowing for easy adjustment of the local hour hand while travelling. The sunburst blue dial, adorned with applied indices and lumed hands, adds to its striking appearance. The brown leather strap with bronze buckle complements the overall design. With a water resistance of 200 meters, this watch is suitable for various activities. Notable features include the jumping local hour hand, fully-lumed ceramic bezel for tracking a third-time zone, and a detailed three-dimensional case back displaying world time offsets. The Waterman GMT Bronze combines style, functionality, and durability, making it a sought-after timepiece for watch enthusiasts.


For this release, Magrette have created another first for the Waterman series — namely, to mill the case and matching bracelet out of lightweight Grade 2 Titanium. A low-profile and signed butterfly clasp adds a touch of sophistication to proceedings and ensures this watch will turn heads everywhere you go. The new Waterman GMT Titanium comes equipped with the always-reliable Miyota Cal. 9075 automatic GMT movement that ensures your timepiece keeps excellent time day in, day out. This movement boasts a jumping local hour hand rather than an independent GMT hand, something that allows for rapid adjustment while travelling. The fully-lumed ceramic bezel allows for convenient tracking of a third time zone. A truly stunning timepiece.


A truly special watch, the Grade 5 titanium case of the Moana Pacific Professional Titanium (Black) Watch provides unrivalled tensile strength and surface hardness with exceptional corrosion resistance and high strength–to–weight ratio. The Moana Pacific Pro Titanium is purpose-built for the most uncompromising of aquatic environments and boasts an impressive water resistance rating of 500M. It has a large screw-down crown with red safety alert collar, scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, and engraved ceramic bezel insert. The Moana Pacific Professional from Magrette is powered by the Swiss Made Sellita Calibre SW200-1 automatic mechanical movement – quality guaranteed.
