[VIDEO] The TAG Heuer Aquaracer Solargraph is the Aquaracer We’ve Been Ready For

One other refined element you’ll find yourself discovering in low gentle conditions in using a number of lume colours. Every of the hour markers, in addition to the hour hand glow inexperienced when charged, whereas the minute and seconds fingers tackle the sunshine blue look. 

I’ve just some observations concerning the dial and I’m unsure they qualify as complaints, however they stand out as barely odd decisions. The primary is the scale and placement of the Aquaracer identify on the prime of the dial, above the TAG Heuer utilized emblem. My preliminary thought is that this may be extra appropriately positioned on the backside half of the dial, above Solargraph, creating three traces of textual content (that appears affordable?). For some motive the branding at prime billing makes extra sense, however maybe that’s simply what I’m used to. 

Subsequent is using a reflective nature of the fabric used for the TAG Heuer emblem itself. It will get misplaced in most gentle and feels unnecessarily fussy in opposition to the sunburst texture of the bottom dial. Lastly, and we’re actually getting nit choosy right here, is the ‘Swiss Made’ placement on the very backside of the dial, which sits in parallel with the traces on the dial, fairly than following the curvature of the chapter ring. One other watch with the same dial texture is the Patek Philippe Nautilus, and the Swiss Made on that dial follows the curvature, which for some motive feels the extra pure placement. In fact, that is hardly an enormous deal however it’s a element that, while you discover it, you’ll all the time discover it. 

All that apart, this watch is greater than the sum of its components. As an entire, it’s fairly charming and good-looking to my eye, and the on-wrist expertise is phenomenal. This Solargraph hits in another way than any Aquaracer to have come earlier than it, even the restricted version George Bamford instance from which this watch seems to have taken inspiration. See extra of that watch from 2020 proper right here. I believe this watch will pull new eyeballs towards the model from of us who don’t care or actually take into consideration the model, and maybe for good motive. TAG Heuer must earn that spotlight and that is simply the kind of watch to do it. However there’s one more reason that this watch ought to garner consideration.
