The new models come in two flavours – the Aquaracer Professional 300 Date and the Aquaracer Professional 300 GMT. Both come with iconic 12-facet ceramic bezels, which makes them instantly recognisable.
TAG Heuer’s Aquaracer Professional 300 Date is crafted with a focus on easy legibility and smooth handling. The updated minute track and more prominent hour hand, now featuring the shield shape, ensure immediate legibility, while the second hand and wave pattern on the dial are intended to capture the essence of aquatic exploration.
The case has shrunk from 43mm to 42mm, taking ergonomics and comfort to another level. Thickness has grown by 0.5mm, so it now measures 12mm thick, but TAG Heuer claims this improves the case’s balance.
The colours chosen pay tribute to the depths of the ocean, offering options in black, blue and green.
Among them, the vibrant blue hue adorning the second hand holds a special significance – it represents the last visible colour underwater. Additionally, the pairing of blue and orange serves a dual purpose; while blue evokes the tranquillity of the sea, orange symbolizes safety, forming a harmonious contrast.
At the heart of the TAG Heuer Aquaracer Professional 300 Date is the COSC-certified manufacture TH31-00 calibre. It has an 80-hour power reserve, a 5-year extended warranty, and chronometer-level precision.
Swim in different oceans with the GMT
If you regularly find yourself swimming in different oceans all around the world, then the TAG Heuer Aquaracer Professional 300 GMT might be for you – with its GMT function ready to guide you across multiple time zones.
The GMT’s colour palette of blue and black or green and black reflects the elements of sky, land and ocean. The two-tone bezel, in scratch-resistant ceramic, displays a 24-hour scale enabling the wearer to tell day from night at a glance.
Inside the TAG Heuer Aquaracer Professional 300 GMT is the COSC-certified manufacture TH31-03 calibre.
The Aquaracer Professional 300 Date and GMT models come with ergonomic upgrades, from the reimagined crown for enhanced grip to the rotating bezel, every detail aims to elevate the tactile interaction.
Both timepieces also come with straps equipped with a folding clasp, complete with double safety push-buttons and an advanced adjustment system which offers a generous 1cm adjustment range. This allows the wearer to experience a consistently snug and comfortable fit.
If that wasn’t enough, TAG Heuer has even upgraded the ‘sensory experience’ and sound, which will no doubt enrich the overall experience of the watch.
The new Aquaracer models are available now online and in TAG Heuer boutiques. The Aquaracer Professional 300 Date starts at £3150 on the rubber strap, while the GMT starts at £3500.
