PAGE-TURNER
The Aquaracer Professional Series story continues
Last year, TAG Heuer introduced the brand’s ultimate watch, the Aquaracer Professional 300, breathing new life into the Aquaracer story. Luxury dive watch.
The story begins in 1978, when Jack Heuer introduced the Heuer Reference 844. Designed for favorite men and women Outdoor sports and nature adventures – on land or in water – this watch defines a new high-performance category A versatile watch you can rely on in extreme conditions.
The Aquaracer name was added in 2004, continuing the family tradition of six design principles: Shift in one direction bezel; screw-in crown; water-resistant to at least 200 meters; luminous markers; sapphire crystal; and a double Security lock.
After the Aquaracer Professional 300 came the Aquaracer Professional 200, a sister model designed in this way Fly at high speed or skate in comfort while pounding the pavement. Same as the larger 43mm Aquaracer Professional 300 Six design codes developed over forty years ago were used.
The new watch shows sophistication everywhere. The larger of the two models debuting today is 40mm and 11mm in diameter Thick, with a slimmer profile and profile compared to the previous model it replaced (41mm thick) Diameter and 12mm thick. TAG Heuer’s design and engineering teams have created a watch to match the Aquaracer The basic principle, only more complex and more durable.
“If you look at the Aquaracer Professional 200, you can see
our intention to create an everyday watch that still has the
tool watch look that TAG Heuer lovers came to expect from
the icons of the past, such as the Reference 844, 1000 and
2000 Series models. It’s an evolution of all this history.”
Guy Bove, TAG Heuer’s Creative Director
DRAWING THE LINES
Comparing the Aquaracer Professional 200 and 300
Relationship between Aquaracer Professional 200 Aquaracer Professional 300 is easy to define. have The famous and now upgraded twelve-sided bezel First introduced in 1995; both feature a refined, repetitive character Dial decorated with horizontal lines; both are chiseled Beveled, shorter lugs with brushed and polished finishes; Both come with a three-link bracelet, and both come with a Screw in the crown with twelve faces and protection.
A closer look reveals some subtle but definite All the differences that define Aquaracer Professional 200 for its unique character and versatility. E.g Aquaracer Professional 200 is even more compact At 40mm (compared to 43mm) with more options a Smaller 30mm case. There is also a diving scale on the bezel, Only now it’s engraved on the steel insert instead of a Made of ceramic. Unpolished central bracelet links Brushed and empowered Aquaracer Professional 200 More The formal feel is designed to help him cross the cipher, from sea to Mountain, about the office and the meeting point for the weekend.
“Our eyes can read shapes quite well when they have a matt finish. The
contrast we created between the brushed vertical finishes and the polished
finishes on the case means that your eye doesn’t see as much of it, with the
effect that the watch appears to have a slimmer profile.”
Guy Bove, TAG Heuer’s Creative Director
Differences in display geometry continue to exist. in which The Aquaracer Professional 300 has octagonal hour markers, Aquaracer oversized hour hand and yellow detail The Professional 200 adopts a more classic sports watch code With straight, trapezoidal indexes, slimmer Sword-shaped hands and bright white details. for dial For legibility, the indexes and hands are still coated Super-LumiNova, but for a more elegant look, no Luminescence has been applied to the bezel.

Quartz models have no date and By contrast, the appearance is reduced while maintaining it The same aesthetic and technical characteristics.
“With both the automatic and quartz versions, we’ve played
on the theme of elegance, giving the watch a narrower
bezel, longer indexes, and stronger markers at 3, 6, 9,
and 12. It’s more of a street watch in the sense that it’s
more elegant and refined, and something you might more
readily consider wearing with a suit. That’s why we gave the
automatics a fumé dial, for instance.”
Guy Bove, TAG Heuer’s Creative Director
There are other playful, elegant options in the 30mm range. There are three kinds of quartz models, light silver, bright color Sunburst blue or black dial; quartz model, white mother-of-pearl dial set with diamond tips; additional quartz model A diamond-set bezel is added to the diamond-set white mother-of-pearl dial; then two automatic transmissions Black or blue smoked diamond dot dial. again automatically There is a date window.
