TAG Heuer’s Aquaracer collection is one of the brand’s most popular tool watch lines, and the latest update to it comes by way of iterations that have been downsized from 43mm to 42mm. However, the case is now 0.5mm thicker to ensure more comfort. A total of eight new watches are unveiled by the brand, which include five Aquaracer Professional 300 Date models, and three Aquaracer Professional 300 Date GMT models.
The Aquaracer Professional 300 Date references are incorporated with a single coloured 12-faceted unidirectional rotating ceramic bezel, while the Aquaracer Professional 300 Date GMT versions feature a two-tone bidirectional rotating ceramic bezels along with an additional GMT hand—the watch bezels have Roman markers on them.
Aquaracer Professional 300 Date The watches come in sunray-brushed wave patterned blue dial—the last visible colour underwater—and black and green, which pay tribute to the different depths of the ocean. There is also an updated minute track and prominent shield-shaped hour hand.
Aquaracer Professional 300 Date GMT Providing contrast are the lume-applied (blue in the blue dial and white in the others) second’s hand in light blue, orange, or lime green in the Date models, while the second’s hand in GMT models is rhodium-plated, and the coloured hands are for the second timezone. Further, there are rhodium-plated applied octagonal hour markers, shield shape-hands coated with green Super-LumiNova®, and a magnifying round date aperture at 6 o’clock.
The COSC certified calibres TH31-00 and TH31-03 power the Aquaracer Professional 300 Date and Aquaracer Professional 300 Date GMT models respectively, boasting an 80-hours power reserve. The watches sport a three-row steel bracelet and additionally, are offered with black or blue rubber straps.
