Carbon forever

The Aquaracer by TAG Heuer has begun a new chapter in its history. Redesigned in a more angular, virile spirit, it had so far been interpreted in ceramic versions for women and stainless steel – some of them black PVD-treated – for men. The Carbon triple series takes the masculine logic a step further by adopting a new metal. The name refers first and foremost to the color, since the 41mm cases are in titanium with a ‘coal-black’ PVD coating. Framed by matt black PVD-treated carbon bezel rings, the dials bear a similarly marbled carbon-like motif. The result is a dark, stealth-type look enlivened by colorful accents that stand out against the somber background. The hands come in electric blue or bright yellow, two vibrant shades picked up on the top-stitching of the woven nylon strap ; while other versions feature gold-toned hands and hour-markers. Behind these colorful effects lies a quest for exclusivity, since these three Aquaracer Carbon variations will be available only in TAG Heuer boutiques.
