TAG Heuer’s collaboration with watch customization maestro George Bamford, announced earlier this year at Baselworld, resulted in the launch of the much-discussed carbon-cased Monaco Bamford special edition. Now TAG Heuer’s sporty diving watch, the Aquaracer, gets a similar all-black carbon treatment, in a trio of new models available exclusively at brand boutiques and online.
The Aquaracer Carbon editions are the latest to emerge from the collaboration between TAG Heuer and Bamford Watch Studio.
The TAG Heuer Aquaracer Carbon draws the eye with its 41-mm-diameter, black PVD-coated titanium case and imitation carbon-printed dials, which are highlighted with hints of blue, yellow, or rose gold depending on the model. The carbon material used for the watch’s unidirectional divers’ bezel is created by a random injection of carbon fibers into a resin pressed at high temperatures to achieve the black-and-gray marbled motif that differs slightly on each finished component, essentially making each watch in this collection a unique piece. The use of grade 5 titanium, with matte black PVD coating, as the case material means that the timepieces are as durable and scratch-resistant as they are lightweight, in addition to being water-resistant to 300 meters.
