Now, should you’re passingly acquainted with the watches from New Zealand-based Magrette, the Moana title sounds fairly acquainted. Whereas initially complicated, I believe it cleverly ties this new watch again to the Moana Pacific Skilled and Moana Pacific Waterman GMT. So, let’s see what this brand-new Magrette Moana is all about.
Briefly, it’s a Magrette designed for a smaller wrist. Sure, they do categorize it as a ladies’s watch within the textual content of the product web page. We are saying, hey, should you just like the look and a 38mm matches your wrist properly, put on it, no matter gender. Now, on to the watch.

Different acquainted touches are going to be the typeface used for the two-digit numerals on the compass factors, in addition to the emblem embossed within the FKM strap.
So, what’s new? Effectively, for starters, you’ve obtained an especially textured dial set underneath the sapphire crystal. That very same texture is then repeated on the perimeters of the case as properly. We’ve seen Magrette do engraving on some watches beforehand, however that is the primary time we recall seeing the case embellished like this on a full manufacturing mannequin.
Many occasions, if a model is designing a smaller watch (whether or not or not they state it as being for ladies), they’ll take the chance to place a quartz motion in. It provides you some flexibility within the case design, in addition to lowers prices. That’s not the route they’ve gone with the Magrette Moana. Inside – and visual by means of the exhibition caseback – you’ve obtained the Sellita SW260. It is a 4 Hz motion that gives a couple of 38 hour energy reserve, so normal stuff there. What this brings alongside to the watch is that small seconds at 6 o’clock.
When you’d prefer to get the Magrette Moana in your wrist, you’ve simply obtained to determine if you would like it with the blue, inexperienced, or white dial. As soon as that’s settled, you’ll be able to head on over and put your pre-order down. Full worth for the watch is $885, and also you’ll be placing $300 down for the pre-order. When it will get nearer to cargo time (anticipated for October 2025), you’ll pay the stability, plus $48 for worldwide transport.
