The TAG Heuer Aquaracer Professional 300 story continues!
Since its high-profile relaunch last year, TAG Heuer's luxury toolwatch has rewritten sports watch design and performance codes, taking wearers beyond the edge as they push their limits in search of every greater performance.
And now comes another new chapter with a clean, colourful take on the GMT function. The TAG Heuer Aquaracer Professional 300 GMT is the ultimate go-anywhere watch, a powerful yet hugely versatile design created to cross time zones and dive and surf all over the world.
Besides its confident, steely form, the most immediately striking thing about the new TAG Heuer Aquaracer Professional 300 GMT is its stylish blue, yellow and white colour palette. TAG Heuer's designers carefully selected these, casual shades to represent the sky, the sun, the water and the crashing waves near the shore. These colours also make the watch the perfect all-day, every-day companion for surfers and divers who travel the world in search of the perfect break and the most spectacular underwater habitats.
The characterful, imposing dial, still with its horizontal lines, is a deep midnight blue, offset by white lume-filled hands and hour markers. The rhodium-plated central sweep seconds hand has a yellow lacquer tip, and a luminous insert designed to inform divers that the watch is running during a dive.
And then there's the two-tone bi-directional rotating bezel, which is cast in highly scratch and fade resistant ceramic. The determine day from night, it's cast in two colours half in a deep midnight blue to match the dial and represent the night-time hours of 6 in the evening til 6 in the morning; and half in a brilliant white to represent the daytime hours of 6 in the morning til 6 in the evening.
For absolute clarity and legibility, the 24-hour GMT scale is engraved into the ceramic and then filled with contrasting colours: black for day time and white for night. In pursuit of the highest quality and legibility, no detail has been overlooked For example, the numerals 18 and 6 break across the point where the blue and white meet, and yet the colour inversion continues seamlessly across the two numerals.
The GMT hand, which makes a full tour of the dial once every 24 hours and is set via the crown, is finished in yellow lacquer and tipped with luminous material.
The result is a highly legible GMT wristwatch conceived and designed for the urban adventurer who in pursuing a life in the waves always goes beyond the edge.
Beyond these fresh, peppy details and the addition of a second time zone, the TAG Heuer Aquaracer Professional 300 GMT carries the same form and functionality of the critically acclaimed automatic introduced last year.
Still in place is the instantly recognisable 12-sided bezel that ties the TAG Heuer Aquaracer Professional family to previous generations. And as before, every other facet has a fluted edge so that the wearer can grip and adjust the bezel with ease and confidence. The crown is still screwed and protected, and the 43mm case continues to offer 300m of water resistance.
One watch, two looks, the new TAG Heuer Aquaracer Professional 300 GMT is presented on two different strap styles. Available on either a stainless steel metal bracelet or deep midnight blue rubber strap to match the dial and bezel. Both feature TAG Heuer's ergonomic fine adjustment system so that the watch can easily be tailored to fit over a wetsuit and back again, or simple to accommodate comfort changes as temperatures rise and fall.
Fuelling the watch is the ageless Calibre 7 GMT automatic movement. With all those aesthetic details, each chosen to maximise the watch's performance, the new TAG Heuer Aquaracer Professional 300 GMT needed an ultra-reliable movement too. Inside the watch therefore is TAG Heuer's Calibre 7, a Swiss Made automatic with a power reserve of up to 50 hours. It also provides the watch with its date function, centered at 6 o'clock and indicated under a 'Cyclops' magnifier.
The introduction of the TAG Heuer Aquaracer Professional 300 GMT signals the next phase in the evolution of the TAG Heuer Aquaracer family. It picks up on the TAG Heuer Aquaracer's six signature features and marries the demands of utility and luxury in perfect unison. For surfers, divers and life's time-zone crossing adventurers, it is the ultimate luxury toolwatch.
