A novelty that has significantly increased functionality compared to the easy-to-wear everyday models of the Aquaracer Professional 500.
Among the novelties presented by TAG Heuer at the Watches & Wonders salon were not only new Monaco models but also an appealing addition to the Aquaracer collection. The new model fills the existing gap in TAG Heuer's diver lineup, positioning itself between the Professional 300 models designed for everyday use and the discontinued Professional 1000 Superdiver watches, which would have been perfect for underwater filming.
The new models are presented in a 42-millimeter case with a comfortable profile. Both the case and the bracelet are made from grade 2 titanium. The standout feature of the design remains the 12-sided unidirectional bezel. The watch weighs about 120 grams.
At the "10 o'clock" mark, a helium valve is integrated into the case, clearly indicating that the watch is oriented towards professional diving. It is made of titanium with a DLC coating. The screw-down crown is also made of titanium and adorned with the shield logo. The solid case back features a diver's helmet engraving.
Two dial options are available. One features a black dial with a wave pattern accented by blue highlights, evoking a marine theme. The second version is distinguished by orange accents. Both options are equipped with massive hands with Super-LumiNova luminescence. They are complemented by equally massive hour markers in trapezoid and octagon shapes. The date window at "6 o'clock" is always visible thanks to a lens built into the sapphire crystal of the dial.
Beneath the dial is the TH30-00 caliber. This is a COSC-certified automatic movement operating at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour and providing a 70-hour power reserve. This movement is produced by Kenissi, and TAG Heuer has already tested it in the now-discontinued Superdiver model.
As mentioned earlier, the watch comes on a titanium bracelet. It is equipped with a folding clasp with safety buttons and a micro-adjustment system. The watches are limited to series of 1,500 pieces for each version.
The estimated price of the model is €5,400.
