In August 2023, Tag Heuer released the latest watch in the Aquaracer collection, the 300m GMT. Visually, the watch is spectacular, and the colour choice of the bezel is spot on, but it didn’t take long for me to get a little confused. The Aquaracer 300m collection is a dive watch, and the new Tag Heuer Aquaracer 300m GMT doesn’t offer that. To be honest, it almost feels like Tag Heuer has released a watch for fashion purposes at the expense of the integrity of its core collection.
I don’t want to introduce the newly released Aquaracer 300m GMT in a way that seems to me to be where Tag Heuer has gone wrong, but I think it paints the big picture of the brand itself. A dive watch is a dive watch, and a travel watch should stand on its own. Rolex is the best example of this. They have maintained the integrity of the collection and built it with purpose, while not changing the design of two similar watches. The Submariner and the GMT Master II have only minor differences in design, but are two completely different watches. I would expect TAG Heuer to take the same approach with the Aquaracer 300m GMT.
If replica tag heuer wants to release a new watch, it would be refreshing to see them do it in a proper way instead of piling alternative features on an unrelated collection.
Well, it’s time to introduce all the different features of the Aquaracer 300m GMT. I really think this is a great-looking watch, and I would love to dive into it.
The first feature of this watch is the multi-coloured bezel which features a combination of cool shades of navy and white, and contrasting Arabic numerals. Ceramic is the material of choice for the Aquaracer 300m GMT, which is surrounded by a coin-edged bezel.
The execution of the bezel is what really makes this watch popular and interesting. The use of white on the bezel is becoming a trend, and I’m excited to see what happens next.
Powering the Tag Heuer Aquaracer 300m GMT is the Calibre 7 automatic. This mechanical movement has a 50-hour power reserve, a frequency of 28,800, and allows for date and GMT complications. Calibre 7 is not a TAG Heuer movement made in-house. The movement is based on the ETA 2892 or Sellita SW300, depending on which year it was produced.
Blue is the colour of choice for the new TAG Traveler Aquaracer 300m GMT. The dial is decorated with horizontal cuts that give the dial depth, and the octagonal indexes provide a unique look. I’m not sure TAG enthusiasts jumped at the new dial design for the Aquaracer line, but they are starting to grow on me.
Since this is a GMT buy replica watches, it’s only fitting that the GMT hands are very different from the others, and TAG has chosen bright yellow GMT hands that work well with the blue and white colour combination.
When I had my Aquaracer, I was thrilled with the look of the case and how it felt on my wrist. For a dive watch, it is actually quite slim. The same is true of the new Aquaracer 300m GMT. It’s not too bulky, but at 43mm wide, it’s big enough to have a solid presence on the wrist. Aside from a few contour lines, TAG Heuer opted for a brushed finish on the case. Once again, TAG Heuer has shown that it can produce high-quality cases outside of the Monaco collection.
