The result is a cleaner, more classic bezel. The bezel has also been updated, with the main change being the deletion of the bezel grips that have long been part of the 2000/ Aquaracer look. It’s a handsome, strong case with a fresh look, but still very much an Aquaracer. Look carefully and you’ll also notice the reprofiled crown guards, which are inspired by the original 844/ 1000 series.Īdding to the up-scale push is the more refined case finishing, a combination of brushed surfaces with polished highlights. Despite these changes it’s no lightweight, and there’s no sign yet of the 41mm option many hoped for, but it’s a clear step in the right direction.
AQUARACER CALIBRE 5 PROFESSIONAL
2021 Aquaracer Professional 300 CaseĮach of the five Aquaracer Professional 300 models uses the same basic 43mm case design, which may look the same as the 43mm 2014 Aquaracer 300m, but is actually thinner and lighter and with shorter lugs- a similar principle applied to the 2020 Carrera redesign. Overall, we love the new look, which seems to keep all the strong elements of the previous model, yet also addressing a couple of areas which never quite gelled on the 2014 re-design.Ģ014 Aquaracer 300m vs. Firstly, the new range steps up the quality of materials and finishing to justify a higher price point and secondly, TAG Heuer’s designers have enthusiastically embraced the 12-sided bezel as a key design thematic, with dodecagons featuring prominently. As we ran through the changes in the spec sheets, there are two key themes that we kept coming back to.
AQUARACER CALIBRE 5 SERIES
The Aquaracer Professional 300 is the first major redesign of the Aquaracer series since 2014 and brings back the “ Professional” name, which was added to the dial of TAG Heuer dive watches during the 1980 and 90s. Today we’ll show you five of the new models- the standard production blue, black and silver dials, the “special edition” titanium model and the highlight of the new range- the limited edition 844 tribute edition in titanium that draws inspiration from one of Heuer’s first, and most loved, dive watches from 1978. TAG Heuer Aquaracer Professional 300- 844 Limited Edition And yes, while the previous watch was the Aquaracer 300m, the new one is the Aquaracer Professional 300– no “m”. Launched today at the Watches & Wonders online watch fair, the Aquaracer Professional 300 Calibre 5 collection are the first new watches in the revised Aquaracer family, which will extend to other models and movements over the coming months. So it’s somehow both familiar, yet all-new at the same time. There’s a re-profiled and polished case, a redesigned caseback, new bracelet and rubber straps, an updated dial, new hands and a revised bezel. While the new Aquaracer Professional 300 maintains the same silhouette as the previous model, make no mistake that the new watch represents a significant step forward for the Aquaracer line.
