This year TAG Heuer released the brand new Aquaracer Calibre 7 GMT.
This elegant new addition to the Aquaracer line is what Tag Heuer calls “a contemporary interpretation” of its classic water-resistant timepieces.
This is not the first Aquaracer with a GMT complication, it is the first to use the combination of blue and red on the bezel. And despite the obvious connections that the ‘Pepsi bezel’ draws, the bicoloured combo sees a good return to the colour scheme of the Autavia GMTs from the 1960s.
Silver-tone stainless steel case with a silver-tone stainless steel bracelet. Bi-directional rotating red and blue (pepsi) stainless steel and aluminum bezel. Black opalin dial with luminous silver-tone hands and index hour markers. Minute markers around the outer rim.
Dial Type: Analog. Luminescent hands and markers. Date display at the 3 o’clock position. Tag Heuer Calibre 7 automatic movement with a 42 to 46-hour power reserve. Scratch resistant sapphire crystal. Screw down crown. Solid case back. Round case shape, case size: 43 mm, case thickness: 12 mm. Fold over with safety release clasp. Water resistant at 300 meters / 1000 feet. Functions: GMT, second time zone, hour, minute, second, date. Dive watch style. Watch label: Swiss Made.
The new Aquaracer GMT is priced at US$2650 and is available now. For comparisson with other models in the TAG Heuer range, the Calibre 5 white-dial model we reviewed last month retails at US$2,250 (steel bezel), while the ceramic bezel Calibre 5 43mm model (WAY201A) is also priced at $2,650.
