Magrette Moana Pacific Professional Watch
Our favorite New Zealand-based watch company Magrette is back with a new watch model called the Moana Pacific Professional. FEBRUARY 2013 UPDATE: See the end of the article below for links to new images of the finished watch. 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. This isn’t the first watch I’ve seen with a 9015 movement, but I know Magrette has been waiting to get their hands on these.

Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Diver Forged Carbon Watch Hands-On
This year Audemars Piguet released a new version of last year’s Royal Oak Offshore Diver watch. The new version isn’t too different, but now employs Audemars Piguet’s forged carbon case. The special case material is produced in-house out of carbon thread that is heated and compressed. The result is a very light and strong case material that suits the sporty look and performance of the ROO Diver very well.I first covered the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Diver watch here. Later I was on a boat with Audemars Piguet and offered an additional piece with some lifestyle shots of the ROO Diver (and humor) here. Designed as a true dive watch with 300 meters of water resistance, the Royal Oak Diver in steel was a lovely, almost entry level Royal Oak Offshore model priced at about $15,000.
