2016 TAG Heuer Aquaracer 300 Caliber 5 Titanium

TAG Heuer Aquaracer 300 Caliber 5 Titanium reference seemed a fitting match for a trek up the canyon, whose rugged outcroppings are cleaved in two by the meandering waters of Clear Creek. This stealthy "desert diver" was a quiet addition to TAG Heuer's 2016 Baselworld announcements, seemingly lost in the wash of all the attention showered on the Connected smartwatch and this sub-15k tourbillon. But just like panhandling, the real nuggets are often discovered in quieter eddies, far from rushing waters and probing eyes, crowded around the sluice. More replica Tag TAG Heuer Aquaracer watches.

Regardless of the similarities in our narrative, my longstanding appreciation for the TAG Heuer Aquaracer has plateaued with the 300-meter Caliber 5 – a thoroughly modern, solidly built sports watch, and what some might argue to be TAG's most distinctive, yet cohesive diver ever.

TAG Heuer Aquaracer 300 comes on a contrast-stitched nylon strap with a rubberized backing, fitted with an ultralight titanium deployant that snaps into place with a confidence-inspiring engagement. As mentioned, the white stitching is a baffling choice, but the strap itself is of very high quality. Serial strap-changers take note, the 43mm variants of the Aquaracer like the WAY208C have 21mm lug widths, which should be a boon to anyone with a healthy supply of 20mm NATO straps or 22mm rubber straps, because the watch looks exceptional on both.
