TAG Heuer Aquaracer Carbon (Technical Specifications and Prices)
It’s one of the most modern incarnations of the famous Aquaracer, TAG Heuer’s ultimate dive watch. To celebrate the end of summer 2018, the Swiss watchmaker is presenting its most modern line of models yet, developed based on carbon and sold exclusively in TAG Heuer boutiques and at www.tagheuer.com from September 3rd. An urban look that combines comfort, durability and sportiness.
The Carbon Aquaracer is available in three models, each standing out thanks to hints of blue, yellow or rose gold. The 41mm black PVD-covered titanium case houses the carbon bezel. The dial boasts an imitation carbon effect. It’s therefore a watch that’s durable and solid, but above all, light. The full black look, subtly illuminated by hints of colour, lends the piece elegance and modernity.
Thanks to the random injection of carbon fibres into a resin pressed at high temperatures, each piece is unique, boasting an exclusive black and grey marbled motif. A look that evokes the depths of the oceans. Waterproof to 300m, the Aquaracer Carbon is the perfect watch for setting off in search of adventure while maintaining the stylish, sporty look that’s inseparable from TAG Heuer. The watch is enhanced by a beautiful black textile strap whose topstitching echoes the colours of the dial.
Also available from the 3rd of September is the TAG Heuer Monaco Bamford, the first collaboration in the serial production of a watch for Bamford Watch Department (read more about here). It’s a brand new interpretation of the iconic TAG Heuer Monaco, sporting a solid carbon case and an elegant full black dial that enhance the aqua blue chronometers.
