It comes as no surprise, then, that TAG Heuer would continue to focus on expanding this versatile and popular timekeeper. This year sees the watchmaker releasing three new editions into the fold, with coloured dials inspired by the vibrancy of corals to add a pop of positivity and style to the everyday.
Available with a zesty green lacquered dial, a lush purple lacquered dial, or a serene blue sunray brushed dial, the watch delivers a well-formulated equation where form and function co-exist in perfect balance. The steel case bears both satin-brushed and polished surfaces to highlight the watch’s refined personality. Eight VS diamonds sparkle on the dial, set within octagonal frames that complement the angles found on the 12-sided bezel. The dial is further dressed with a date aperture (at 6 o’clock) and rhodium-plated applied indexes and hands with white Superluminova for clear legibility, no matter the light condition.

Beneath all this lies the Calibre 5 movement, one of the brand’s most widely used automatic movements, trusted for its reliable and robust performance. Water resistance is rated at a diver-grade 300 metres (or 30 bars), complete with a screw-down crown and unidirectional ceramic bezel to reinforce its aquatic credentials. But make no mistake: This watch wasn’t designed just for diving, it’s for weekday meetings and power lunches, weekend markets and moonlit walks, too.

The green model comes with a black ceramic bezel with a matching green to mark the first 15 minutes; and likewise for the purple edition with tone-on-tone purple. Both watches come with a three-row steel bracelet that echo the case’s brushed and polished finish for a bold statement that stands out without having to shout. For the last of the trio, a gradient blue dial, recalling the motion of the tides, is paired with a black bezel and a chic white rubber strap that reinforces the watch’s innate oceanic character. A TAG Heuer shield-emblazoned folding clasp, with double safety push-buttons and a fine adjustment system for the ultimate comfort, completes all three timepieces.
In a category often dominated by oversized cases and hyper-masculine designs, this 36mm Aquaracer is a breath of sea air. It’s sporty without being clunky, stylish without feeling precious. So whichever of the three you finally decide on, you can trust this TAG Heuer Aquaracer to keep up with your life, one tick at a time.
