I've been waiting for this Magrette for months. I'm a sucker for a pretty face. Especially when it comes on a chronograph. So when Dion introduced this one, I knew I had to order one.

The black PVD is so very shiny It's difficult to photograph , but believe me, it's a gorgeous watch with a fantastic looking movement.

IMHO Dion has produced another winner. Just like the All Blacks.

First the specifications:

MODEL: MOANA PACIFIC CHRONOGRAPH PVD
MOVEMENT: SEAGULL TY-2901 (ST1901) HAND-WIND CHRONOGRAPH (BASED ON THE VINTAGE VENUS 175) WITH METAL MOVEMENT HOLDER.
CASE DIAMETER: 44MM EXCLUDING THE CROWN
CASE FINISH: PVD, BRUSHED SIDES, POLISH FINISH ON TOP.
BEZEL: BLACK CERAMIC WITH ETCHED MARKINGS.
CROWN: SCREW DOWN CROWN AND PUSHERS.
CRYSTAL: SAPPHIRE (DOUBLE DOMED), AR COATING.
DIAL AND HANDS: SUPER LUMINOVA C3
WATER-RESISTANCE: 500M/1650FT WATER RESISTANT

STRAP: 24MM CHOCOLATE BROWN LEATHER.
BUCKLE: BRUSHED
VINTAGE STYLE ROLL CASE: CANVAS
LIMITED EDITION: 1000 PIECES

Then a few pictures:

Congrats and the All Black's definitely deserve something in their honor. A beauty.

I think as a tribute watch honoring The All Blacks (greatest rugby team in history out of New Zealand), I think it must be predominantly black. They could have put some white detail on the bezel to match the dial, but all in all a every nice looking watch.

I'm tempted to "fill in" the bezel sometime in the future.

That might just enhance this already beautiful watch even more. Congrats and wear in good health.
