The unique watch features intricate designs drawing inspiration from the themes of the 'Moana' films and Johnson's personal cultural background. The name 'Matai' itself is a Samoan word meaning 'chief' or 'leader.' The timepiece also incorporates motifs that directly reference Johnson's tribal tattoo, an homage to his Samoan roots and his character in the movie, Maui.

Johnson reprises his role in the live-action adaptation of 'Moana,' which is set to release in theaters on Friday, July 10. He previously voiced Maui in the animated films released in 2016 and 2024. A third animated installment is currently in development, with Jared Bush and Dana Ledoux Miller returning to write the script. Despite mixed critical reviews, Deadline reported that the film is projected to earn approximately $130 million globally at the box office, with $60 million of that amount being domestic.

Beyond 'Moana,' Johnson has other significant projects in the pipeline. He is also scheduled to reprise his role in 'Jumanji: Open World,' the third and final installment of the Jumanji trilogy, which is slated for a Christmas Day release later this year.
