The drama series " Reef Break " (2019), which has not yet been released in Japan, depicts the confrontation between criminals hiding behind the scenes and the law enforcement authorities on an island filled with beautiful nature and majestic scenery.

The item Jake wears in the film is also Maurice Lacroix Icon Chronograph ( Ref. AI6018-PVB01-331-1 ) . It was released in 2016 as a reissue of the brand's popular Calypso model from the 1990s. Since then, it has gained a lot of support from watch enthusiasts as a flagship model. In addition, this watch is water resistant to 200m, so it is suitable for water sports and surfing. It fits in seamlessly with movies and dramas set on islands where water sports are popular.
summary
What did you think.
As you may already know, Ray Stevenson is a brand ambassador for Maurice Lacroix , and he has been seen wearing watches from the brand in almost every film he has appeared in in recent years.
The watches we introduced today are all mechanical but reasonably priced models with a list price of around 200,000 to 700,000 yen, but in fact, Maurice Lacroix is a proper manufacture that develops and owns numerous patented technologies and produces tourbillon models that cost over 10 million yen. It is one of the brands to look forward to in the future.

Ray Stevenson is an actor who was only known to a small number of movie fans until now, but thanks to the attention he has received for " RRR ," his name recognition in Japan is undoubtedly on the rise. This means that perhaps more attention will be focused on Maurice Lacroix , for which he serves as an ambassador.
Even so, "RRR" was really fun. I wonder when I'll go see it for the second time...
see you!
