TAG Heuer Unveils Sleeker Aquaracer Professional 300 With Enhanced Features

The TAG Heuer Aquaracer Professional 300 now arrives redesigned, in a new, more friendly-sized case and with a new chronometer-certified movement.

It was in 2021 that we saw the last update to the collection, which now receives five new models in a 42mm stainless steel case, three of them with the time-date function and two others that add the GMT complication.

And starting with the exterior of the dive watch, it now comes with dimensions of 42 mm in diameter (just 1 mm small which may sound little), 48 mm lug-to-lug distance and 12 mm height for the date version and 13.45 mm for the GMT featuring a mainly brushed finish and polished on the bevels and crown. Twelve-sided 60-minute unidirectional bezel for the date version and 24-hour bidirectional bezel for the GMT version, sapphire crystal with a magnifier at the bottom to an easy-read of the date, screw-down crown at 3 o’clock with the brand’s signature and protected by guards, screwed solid case back engraved with an embossed diver’s helmet and 300m of water resistance.

The textured dial replaces the previous symmetrical horizontal stripes with an asymmetrical wave pattern and comes with a sunray finish where we once again find applied hour markers, although now slightly wider, which together with the hands are filled with Super-LumiNova, which makes the first ones along with the new fractional hour hand glow green in the dark and the other two hands and the inverted triangle at noon on the bezel glow blue. Plus, a thinner chapter ring, a date window at 6 o’clock and an extra central hand for the GMT version that works in partnership with the two-tone ceramic insert bezel.

As for the different variants, the Date version is presented with a black dial with a light blue second hand, another in navy blue with an orange pointer and a last in green with a yellow hand. While the GMT variants arrive with a blue dial with a black-blue bezel or a green dial with a black-green bezel.

Inside, as you may have already noticed, they come equipped with a new movement, the TH31-00 and TH31-03 for the Date and GMT versions respectively, which are chronometer-certified, operating 28,800 Vph and offering up to 80 hours of power reserve, more than doubling the previous 38 hours.

The watches arrive on a 3-row steel bracelet with a folding clasp, being is also available with a matching rubber strap in the black and blue versions, with prices ranging between CHF 3,500 and CHF 3,700 for Date and CHF 3,900 to CHF 4,100 in GMT versions.
