A central sweep seconds hand completes the inventory of functions. A date aperture is positioned at 3 o’clock and is of sufficient scale to bestow superb legibility.Įach hour is denoted with an applied index, faceted in form and lined with white luminescent fill. Residing below noon, the brand’s logo is presented in crisp, white detail. Interestingly, the minute hand is notably long, reaching the chapter ring with its elongated form. The steel hour and minute hands are silver in tone and lined with white luminescent fill. The blue sunray dial resembles light kissing the surface of water, exuding an array of shades, all emanating from the fulcrum of the dial. Personally, I prefer the latter option, but all three dial colours are highly attractive. The Link is available with a choice of three dial options: black, silver-plated or blue sunray. It does not highlight a medical misdemeanour on my part but rather an ergonomic bracelet, ‘boasting the signature S-shaped links’ found on the first Link timepiece unveiled in 1987.Īt Baselworld 2017, the avant-garde Swiss watch brand released a trilogy of models destined to dazzle with their achingly gorgeous appearance. However, TAG Heuer recently unveiled a new Link which I was very interested in hearing about. I confess I am a little bored hearing about ‘links’ and healthy virtues. The problem with middle-age is that there is always a medical practitioner pointing out a link between an unhealthy habit and a potentially serious health condition.

The waistband of my trousers is a tad too tight and I am a little breathless when climbing the stairs. Today, is the first day of my latest diet. This detailed review of the TAG Heuer Steel Link for men Calibre 5 includes live images, specification details and pricing.

The standard Chrono is built around the same Calibre 16 automatic movement available in the standard F1 line (which can also be had with a quartz movement not offered here) and features a 44mm steel case. Under all the flair, these are still Tag Heuer Formula 1s. The date window also occasionally intersperses various easter eggs (such as the banana peel visible in the gallery above) among the numerical indicators. The latter also has silhouettes of Mario, Luigi and Princess Peach etched into the rotor, visible through the sapphire case window.

The Formula 1 X Mario Kart Chronograph and Chronograph Tourbillon are packed with details that should please anybody who appreciates mechanical timepieces, Mario Kart, or (ideally) both.īoth watches feature several highly visible Mario-themed elements, from the bright red "M" on the crown to Mario himself at the wheel of his kart, featured prominently in the 9:00 indicator and on the case backing of the standard Chronograph and alongside Bullet Bob and a blue shell in the namesake Tourbillon. Tag Heuer is back with two more Nintendo-themed watches, this time based on its automatic Formula 1 model.
