TAG Heuer - Aquaracer Professional 300 GMT

In 2022, TAG Heuer is enriching the Aquaracer Professional 300 range with a new GMT model. Prices of ref. WBP2010 starting from CHF 3,400

TAG Heuer is enriching the Aquaracer Professional 300 range launched in 2021 (you can read our overview article here) with a new GMT model.

For this new creation, TAG Heuer’s designers worked with a blue, yellow and white color palette, shades chosen to represent the sky, the sun and the water.

Characterised by the signature horizontal lines, the deep blue dial of the Aquaracer Professional 300 GMT offers an ideal contrast to the white lume-filled hands and hour markers. The rhodium-plated central sweep seconds hand is enhanced by a yellow lacquer tip. The date is centred at 6 o’clock and indicated under a ‘Cyclops’ magnifier.

The GMT hand, which makes a full tour of the dial once every 24 hours and is set via the crown, is finished in yellow lacquer and tipped with luminous material. It indicates the time in a second time-zone in combination with the bi-directional rotating bezel. This 12-sided bezel features a ceramic insert cast in two colours: half in a deep midnight blue to match the dial and represent the night-time hours from 6 PM to 6 AM; and half in brilliant white to represent the daytime hours from 6 AM to 6 PM. The 24-hour GMT scale is engraved into the ceramic and then filled with contrasting colors: black for day time and white for night. 

Offering water resistance to 300 metres / 1,000 feet, the 43 mm case is crafted from stainless steel with an alternation of satin-brushed and polished surfaces to highlight the design.

The 12-sided screwed crown is protected by two guards, a detail that enhances the look of the watch while making it even sturdier.

The caseback is decorated with a repeating hexagon motif and the scaphandre diving suit that first appeared on the Aquaracer case back in 2004, here reinterpreted with a faceted contour.

The movement of choice is the TAG Heuer‘s Calibre 7, a Swiss Made automatic beating at the frequency of 4 Hz (28,800 vibrations per hour) with a power reserve of up to 50 hours. 

The new TAG Heuer Aquaracer Professional 300 GMT comes on either a stainless steel metal bracelet (ref. WBP2010.BA0632) or on a deep midnight blue rubber strap to match the dial and bezel (ref. WBP2010.FT6198) with prices of CHF 3,700 / Euro 3,600 / US$ 3,800 and CHF 3,400 / Euro 3,300 / US$ 3,500, respectively. 

Both options feature TAG Heuer’s fine adjustment system so that the watch can easily be tailored to fit over a wetsuit and back again, or simply to accommodate comfort changes as temperatures rise or fall.  tagheuer.com
