Just bought this last week and today it arrived from New Zealand......
The Reggattare Vintage Bronze features the Miyota 21 Jewel Automatic Movement.
It has a 45 hour reserve and uses 'Parashock' - its own proprietary shock resistance on the balance.
The Miyota has a track record of accuracy, dependability and longevity; three characteristics that Magrette timepiece wearers have whole-wristedly embraced.
This timepiece will be a Limited Edition of 1000 pieces worldwide.

Pros
1) It is really a bang for bucks with this bronze case (really looking forward for tha patina to develop)
2) OEM strap is really soft and comfortable (I would prefer brown colour strap and a bronze buckle)
Cons
1) Crown not bronze (looks weird)
2) Buckle not bronze (another sigh)
3) Strap not brown (sigh... sigh....)
4) Water resistant 50 meters
Overall I am quite satisfied with this watch....
It is the cheapest Bronze case watch to date....
Have been a bronze fan for quite some time but just could not fork out the cash to buy Anonimo, Helson, Zenton, Benarus, Ennebi and the renowned PANERAI..
This will have to do for the moment...
Sorry for the crappy photos from my PNS camera....
Thanks for watching.....
