Magrette MPP Diver Steel Magrette has released their updated version of the MPP Diver, (Moana Pacific Pro), which has a slightly new look and an upgraded Swiss movement. A few years back I reviewed the first version and overall I was quite satisfied with it. I think I can say the same for this new version, though I think the makeover could have been a little more extreme.

From Panerai to micro brands, everyone is trying their hand at bronze. That brings us to Magrette Watches and the Vantage Bronze, their first bronze cased watch…kind..

I am a big fan of Magrette Watches, and I have been for a long time.
