Tag Heuer

Of the myriads of brand names in sports watches, it’s easy to define how TAG Heuer becomes the most prevalent. Ambassadors to the brand name contributed largely to its widespread, but so do the precise watch making. The Swiss precision movement, the durable manufacturing, the highly quality materials, all these qualities are met by TAG Heuer, staying true to the well founded Swiss excellence so coveted in the watch making industry.

One of the contributing factors to its prevalence is TAG Heuer’s choice to stay in the middle to high range market of sports and luxury watches. Considered expensive enough to middle class consumers make Tag Heuer watches endearing enough prospects as luxury watches. Designs and concepts that stay faithfully in the sport and outdoor image also lend Tag Heuer an image of tough durability on a first class standard.

Like most sports watches, TAG Heuer focuses on chronograph watches, watches that feature several more analog measurements aside from time and date. Self-winding mechanical movements are also standard for a TAG Heuer, and deviations from them are very rare. TAG Heuer watches makes use primarily of sapphire crystals as watch face. These crystals are ultra hard, scratch resistant and inherently reflective free. As a high end product, most of the TAG Heuer products are water resistant to an extent. Occasionally, some TAG Heuer watches have transparent faces or else back covers to reveal the movement within. Here are some of the existing TAG Heuer product lines:

TAG Heuer Aquaracer

Divers and those individuals that participate on water borne activities are the ones that exert so much wear and tear to sports watches. Roughing on a wet environment can loosen up some parts that would allow water to enter and corrupt the mechanisms within. That’s why the TAG Heuer Aquaracer is the best sports watch for meeting such climaxing situations: it is designed to be very durable and it is designed to be very water resistant.

Featuring stainless steel body, anti reflective sapphire crystal, precision Swiss movement, and water resistant up to 300 meters, the Aquaracer is really a prestigious concept by TAG Heuer.

TAG Heuer Professional Golf Watch

Having a product line designed specifically for golf made TAG Heuer acquire the best face as the ambassador. What they got is none other than Tiger Woods.

Tiger Woods wears the TAG Heuer Professional Golf Watch, a perfectly ergonomic design of a sports watch. Perfectly light and perfectly comfortable are the best features of the TAG Heuer Pro Golf Watch, a design that’s developed with Tiger Woods in mind.

TAG Heuer Carrera 360 And The TAG Heuer Monaco

TAG Heuer’s heritage is richly linked with car races, that’s why even after relinquishing the responsibility as the F1 racing’s official timekeeper, TAG Heuer’s chronograph watches are still icons for sports timekeeping.

The TAG Heuer Carrera 360 is the world first chronograph watch that has the capability to measure time in minutest detail, at 1/100th of a second. The Monaco V4 is another wondrous precision movement that’s driven by belts than gears, and another Monaco, the 69 is a TAG Heuer watch that features the same chronograph capability but on a digital panel.

The Monaco Series is also one of TAG Heuer’s successful forays into the casual market. With radical square design, leather straps and slick looks, it befits any casual wear for city night strolling. Faithful to the usual conjuration of a Monaco setting, leather straps, avant-garde designs, and the overall slick appearance makes true to the motor racing spirit, beauty in the rebellious and audacity.

As far as sports watches go, TAG Heuer is one of the most successful brands. In this post Swatch domination era, TAG Heuer is now the embodiment of the Swiss excellence in watch making.
