IBIZA: TAG HEUER UNVEILS THE AQUARACER BLACK TITANIUM NYLON STRAP

Aquaracer 300 M (43 mm) – Black Titanium & Nylon Strap – Automatic Calibre 5 with Date Aquaracer.

 
TAG Heuer went to Ibiza, the birthplace of Electro Dance Music, to launch the AQUARACER Black Titanium watch with its two celebrity DJ ambassadors:
David Guetta & Martin Garrix!

 

 
And since we are in Spain…football is also close to everyone’s heart! 8 Spanish footballing legends – Albert Luque, Michel Salgado, Joan Capdevila, Aitor Ocio, Fernando Morientes, Gaizka Mendieta, Marcos Senna et Fernando Sanz representing La Liga for which TAG Heuer is the Official Timekeeper — were also in attendance to share their passion with the two DJs.

 
Football & EDM! Ibiza! TAG Heuer! What a mix!

 

 
Aquaracer. The quintessential sports watch inspired by the lure of the deep.
Ever the pioneer, in 1892, Edouard Heuer filed the first patent for a watertight case in the
history of watchmaking. It was an immediate success. Since that time, the Aquaracer
(the collection created by TAG Heuer in 2003) has continued to evolve, developing into the
perfect timepiece for all kinds of extreme conditions, not just diving and other sea-faring
activities.

 
Robust and water-resistant to 300 metres, this watch — featuring a ceramic uni-directional
rotary bezel, with its twelve sides and six studs, screw-down crown, large luminous
indications on the indexes and hands for improved visibility and screw-down case back
engraved with a diver’s helmet — is immediately recognisable.

 

New for 2016, the Aquaracer Black Titanium version features Grade 2 titanium with black
titanium carbide coating, a strap made from blue nylon with a rubber inner, and a case
measuring 43 mm in diameter. The ceramic bezel has a sophisticated new design featuring
engraved numerals with blue lacquer. The crystal of the date window also features a
magnifier, reintroduced last year. At its heart beats the Calibre 5 automatic mechanical
movement, offering proven accuracy and reliability.

 
The high quality of the Aquaracer’s finishes and functions make it one of the best value
timepieces on the market.
This model is available in three colourways: blue, black-and-red, and sand-coloured.
