TAG Heuer launches eight new watches in its Aquaracer line—four Aquaracer Professional 100 Solargraph in 28 mm and four Aquaracer Professional 200 Solargraph in 40 mm. All the watches are driven by solar-powered quartz movement. The new watches are redesigned with a new sculpted bezel.
First, its redesigned bezel will catch your attention, however, there are other changes, significant as well as subtle. The 9 o’clock side of the case, for example, is now what the brand describes as “fluted” seemingly to match the bezel’s grooves that are meant to provide grip. More notably, it also protrudes in a way that mirrors the crown protectors on the other side for more case symmetry.
Other changes include a sloping rather than stepped flange ring for the dial. The 28mm models introduce a new skeletonized design for the hour and minute hands. The dial colours introduced include blue sunray, black sunray, white mother-of-pearl (with or without diamonds on the bezel).
A quick-change system for the bracelet is also a notable upgrade but one that’s becoming more common and nearly expected across the industry. These tiny models fit well on the wrist and have a feminine appeal. The watches are powered by solar quartz Caliber TH51-00.
As of now, it’s only on the 40mm models, but it’s something we hope and expect to see for more (or all) Aquaracers in the future. The 40 mm models are technically called the TAG Heuer Aquaracer Pro 200 Solargraph and are powered by the Caliber TH50-00 with 200m of water resistance. Of the four variants, two are in steel with blue or green dial options, and two are in titanium — one with a bead-blasted finish and black dial, and the other brushed and polished with rose gold-plated dial elements.
