Share
Last week, TAG Heuer set sail in Italy to launch its new Aquaracer Professional 300 Date and GMT, paying tribute to adventurers who answer the call of nature. This collection embodies TAG Heuer’s adventurous spirit and Jack Heuer’s visionary heritage, symbolizing durability and exceptional performance.
The TAG Heuer Aquaracer series is renowned for its diving capabilities. The Aquaracer Professional 300 Date features a unidirectional rotating bezel, while the GMT version boasts a bidirectional rotating bezel. Both models include a screw-down crown, 300m water resistance, luminescence, and a double safety clasp, reinforcing their position as quintessential tools for deep-sea and high-altitude explorers. Each iteration blends the robust ethos of the Aquaracer with natural elegance, making these models ideal companions for life’s endeavors.
The iconic 12-facet ceramic bezels facilitate effortless turning, while luminescent pointers ensure precision at any depth, guaranteeing reliability in all conditions. The casebacks proudly display diving helmet engravings, symbolizing their aquamarine essence.
The Aquaracer Professional 300 Date focuses on easy legibility and smooth handling. The updated minute track and prominent hour hand, featuring the shield shape, ensure immediate readability. The second hand and wave pattern on the dial capture the essence of aquatic exploration. The case has been reworked, transitioning from 43mm to 42mm, with a thickness of 12mm, ensuring enhanced ergonomics and comfort.
The color palette pays tribute to the mesmerizing depths of the ocean, offering options in black, blue, and green. The vibrant blue hue of the second hand represents the last visible color underwater, seamlessly blending with the spirit of exploration. The pairing of blue and orange serves a dual purpose; blue evokes the tranquility of the sea, while orange symbolizes safety, forming a harmonious contrast.
At the heart of the TAG Heuer Aquaracer Professional 300 Date is the COSC-certified manufacturer TH31-00 caliber. With an impressive 80-hour power reserve, a 5-year extended warranty, and chronometer-level precision, this caliber elevates itself within the realm of high-end complications.
The TAG Heuer Aquaracer Professional 300 GMT is designed for the modern explorer, featuring a GMT function ready to guide its wearer across oceans and time zones. The color palette of blue and black or green and black reflects the elements of sky, land, and ocean. The two-tone bezel, made of scratch-resistant ceramic, displays a 24-hour GMT scale, enabling the wearer to distinguish day from night at a glance. The GMT hand, with its blue or green lacquered finish and luminous tip, adds functionality and boldness.
Both the Date and GMT models are equipped with the COSC-certified manufacturer TH31 caliber – TH31-00 for the Date and TH31-03 for the GMT, which features an additional time-zone complication. They come with a five-year extended warranty and a closed caseback featuring the iconic diving helmet, celebrating TAG Heuer’s dedication to craftsmanship and adventure.
The models share ergonomic advances and a unified design language. From the reimagined crown for enhanced grip to the rotating bezel, every detail aims to elevate the tactile interaction. Both timepieces come with straps equipped with a folding clasp, complete with double safety push-buttons and an advanced adjustment system. This ensures that wearers experience a consistently snug and comfortable fit, adapting to every wrist’s needs, whether facing high temperatures or diving with gear in tow. The straps come with a buckle offering five adaptable positions and a 1cm adjustment range, guaranteeing a tailored fit.
