TAG Heuer unveils the return of the Night Diver model in the updated Aquaracer Professional 300 collection.
The TAG Heuer Night Diver: Then and Now
The legendary Night Diver watch, a coveted luxury tool watch, now takes its place in the Aquaracer Professional 300 collection. While the original TAG Heuer 1000 Night Diver debuted in the 80's, the new TAG Heuer Aquaracer Professional 300 Night Diver is a modern marvel.
The original Night Diver showcased a quartz movement and a mid-sized 37mm case, a stark contrast to the new model's 43mm black DLC sandblasted steel case with a Calibre 5 Automatic movement.
The updated watch boasts a 300m water resistance rating, thanks to its black DLC steel screw-down crown and a 60-minute diving scale with a black ceramic unidirectional rotating bezel, complete with sapphire crystal featuring double anti-reflective treatment.
The hands and hour markers at the cardinal points are coated with white Super-LumiNova, as is the dial, while the remaining octagonal markers receive a black lacquer finish. Completing the look, the watch comes on a black rubber strap with a black DLC steel folding clasp, equipped with a fine adjustment system. A color-matched date window sits at the six o'clock, visible under a magnifying lens.
