Launched by TAG Heuer earlier this year (here the links for our collection overview and our detailed review), the Aquaracer Professional 300 family is expanding with the new Aquaracer Professional 300 Night Diver.

This new all-black, lume-dialled diver's watch takes name and concept from a successful model that the Swiss brand launched in the mid 1980s.

One of the popular "Night Diver" models from the 1980s

For this model, the 43 mm stainless steel case, the crown, and the folding clasp are all coated in matt black diamond-like carbon, known as DLC, a high-performance treatment which makes the watch even more resistant to scratches and corrosion. 

The 12-faceted, black ceramic bezel, also coated by matt black DLC, frames a  fully luminescent dial whose green Super-LumiNova glows in low-light conditions for improved legibility.

The minute and central seconds hands are filled with blue lume to contrast with the green of the dial. The hour hand and octagonal hour markers at 12, 3, 6 and 9 o’clock are filled with green lume, The remaining octagonal hour markers are all edged with black lacquer. 

The triangle on the unidirectional rotating bezel at 12 o'clock is also filled with blue lume to match the blue of the minute and central seconds hands.

Protected by a caseback decorated with the scaphandre diving suit that first appeared on the Aquaracer case back in 2004, the TAG Heuer’s Calibre 5 automatic movement beats at 28,800 vibrations per hour (4 Hz), guaranteeing an autonomy of 38 hours. 

Water resistant to 300 metres / 1,000 feet, the TAG Heuer Aquaracer Professional 300 Night Diver ref. WBP201D.FT6197 has a price of CHF 3,250 / Euro 3,150 / US$ 3,350.
