The new solid gold models include one in 18k 3N yellow gold and one in 18k 5N rose gold. 40mm cases are styled with modern angles and an organic silhouette, with polished chamfers running the length of each side between brushed surfaces. The form factor is identical to previous TAG Heuer Aquaracer Professional 200 models.
While TAG introduced its first Aquaracer with a manufacture caliber last year with the Aquaracer Professional 1000, this year at Watches and Wonders 2023, it expands those efforts and brings a new manufacture caliber to the Aquaracer 200 series, introducing the shiny new TAG Heuer Aquaracer Professional 200 Full Gold models. The only thing that might have been holding the Aquaracer back was the fact that, unlike many of its competitors, it was still equipped with a stock ETA movement, not something in-house or exclusive to the brand. The unwieldy 43mm case of the 300 had been sized down to a modern and wearable 40mm. But when TAG introduced the Aquaracer Professional 200 series, that’s when I got hopeful that more people would see the light. When the line got a facelift in 2020, my adoration only grew.
In most people’s estimation, it ranks no better than third amongst go-to Swiss divers. I am of the mind that TAG Heuer‘s flagship dive watch, the Aquaracer, doesn’t get the love it deserves.
