The case of the latest Aquaracer remains structurally unchanged from the previous version. The all-black look is bolder though, and I think the steel case is the more versatile wearer. You get a big chunky timepiece at a fraction of the weight. You certainly know it’s there, but that said, the titanium carbide coated titanium cased version hits the sweet spot of size/weight ratio. In steel this is a hefty watch (especially on the steel bracelet), which is either reassuringly solid or a little heavy depending on your tastes. Either way, you can’t deny this bad boy’s heft. The case is (as the model name implies) rated to 300 meters, which is deep for a chronograph.
The design is very much a classic Aquaracer (particularly evident from the grip tabs on the bezel and the shape of the crown guards). Nowhere is this more apparent than the 12-sided bezel, but it’s also clear from the shape of the lugs and the chronograph pushers. It’s a beefy, 43mm construction, full of sharp, sporty angles and facets.
The big diver’s chronograph has had a few major updates this year, most notably a ceramic bezel and small (but big impact) dial improvements. Case in point is the latest version of the crowd pleasing Aquaracer 300 Calibre 16 Chronograph. But beyond their top billing acts the brand had a solid line-up that would fare well in any other year, featuring many of their greatest hits. TAG Heuer had some big headline acts at this year’s Baselworld fair, notably the announcement of a smartwatch partnership with Google and Intel, and the impressive Carrera Heuer 01. The latest version of TAG Heuer’s splash friendly chronograph, the Aquaracer 300 Calibre 16 gets a range of updates including a slick new bezel. For the first time in six months we thought about the beach. Of course this means we need a watch that can handle the waves – and they don’t come much more surf-ready than the new TAG Heuer Aquaracer 300 chronograph. Umbrellas have been discarded and t-shirts donned – Spring has definitely sprung.
