Summary
Tag Heuer has produced a watch that is sure to last you for years. The movement is near-flawless, and the entire design is highly scratch resistant. Even the ceramic bezel is a vast improvement over other models guaranteeing that your watch will retain its looks for years to come. Its black dial is very easy to read thanks to the contrast against the linear guilloche pattern texture. The date is conveniently displayed at 3 o’clock which is just as easy to read at a glance thanks to the practical size. There is an automatic helium valve at 10 o’clock, and all the markers are silver toned with luminescence for telling the time at night.
Sleek Sophistication
One of the best parts of this design is just how light this watch is. Despite its large size, it remains compact and relatively lightweight. Most dive watches can’t come near its sleek profile. Elegance is displayed throughout its layout and design.
From the gorgeous three-link stainless steel band to the black unidirectional bezel, the entire watch screams sophistication. Certain fans have criticized the way that this watch’s bold looks have been curbed down in this model. For most, the sleeker appearance translates to a watch that you can wear anywhere instead of locking you into dive/sporting occasions only.
Precision Timing from Tag Heuer
You can’t criticize the accuracy of Tag Heuer. On average, this is a watch that runs less than five seconds fast a day. The durability is outstanding, and the clasp is extremely secure. The engravings suit the watch face perfectly, accentuating the bezel and black backing. Water resistance at 1,640 feet also makes it the ideal match for mixed-gas diving. If you’re looking for a smart, long-lasting watch which couldn’t be easier to read and you don’t mind a bit of weight, then this is the perfect option for you.
