TAG Heuer is releasing a new Bamford Limited Edition within the Aquaracer family, and it may be the most OEM looking watch to sport the Bamford name yet. This watch represents the most mature take on the Aquaracer we?ve yet to see, at once showing reverence to its origins and pairing down some of the more superfluous elements that have taken hold within the family at large. There?s still a healthy dose of personality, however, adding up to what may be the most compelling Aquaracer we?ve seen in recent memory.

Seeing the word Bamford on the dial of a watch may trigger some readers out there who bristle at the thought of clapped out Rolex and Audemars Piguet watches, but since joining forces with LVMH group watch brands his work has taken a turn toward more palatable collaborations done in house with brands like Zenith and TAG Heuer. Whether you love them or hate them, Bamford watches are clearly modified takes on factory designs. This limited edition Aquaracer begins to blur those lines, and were it not for the name on the dial, this is a watch that we?d welcome right into a regular production slot within the Aquaracer family. I?d go so far as to say that if you?re not a fan of the Aquaracer, this watch might even bring you around to it.
