In Singapore at the Lvmh Watch Week the time has also come for Tag Heuer. The brand that is part of the French luxury group has presented six new models and half of these are smartwatches. Like the Tag Heuer Connected Caliber E4 Sport Edition in black titanium. Or a slightly smaller (42mm) version of the Connected Caliber E4 Golf Edition, designed for players who play nine or 18-hole green grass courses. It has a lighter version in size, also suitable for women. The smartwatch has Full Shot Tracking functionality – it tracks every shot from tee to green, including putting. This timepiece has advanced features: it uses machine learning, can track stats and even make personalized recommendations. The Connected Caliber E4 Golf Edition has an ultra-lightweight case and is offered on a black leather strap with green stitching or a white rubber strap and three Tag Heuer branded golf balls. Available this spring with the app for iOS (iPhone) and Android devices.
The first model of the Connected series is from 2015. The series continues with the Connected Caliber E4 in completely black titanium, now also in a 42 millimeter version which is, together with the golf watch, the lightest and most popular smartwatch from Tag Heuer.
The Connected Sport Edition, a 45 mm watch, updated via software starting from February, will have the new Trail & Hiking application, with an optimized barometer (also for keeping track of slopes), a new redesigned black rubber breathable mesh strap available in red, orange and blue with a buckle closure designed to allow for on-the-fly adjustments, a rubber crown insert that makes it adjustable even with wet fingers.
Another novelty is the update of a racing watch introduced decades ago, the Monza. The new 42-millimetre Monza Flyback Chronometer Edition is a modern take on a model first introduced in 1976 to celebrate legendary driver Niki Lauda’s Formula 1 World Championship in 1975 and, concurrently, the motor racing track located at Monza, Italy. The timepiece features an ultralight carbon case and is powered by the in-house Caliber Heuer 02 Flyback movement, Cosc certified chronograph. It is the first time that the brand offers the flyback function on a modern watch outside the Autavia line.
2023 is also the year of the sixtieth anniversary of the Carrera Chronograph, a watch created by Jack Heuer inspired by the dangerous road race, the Carrera Panamericana, in Mexico. The anniversary Carrera Chronograph is limited to 600 pieces and has a 39mm polished steel case, silver dial with black counters and vintage pushers. The model is inspired by the late Sixties Carrera 2447 SN (silver and noir). Almost a faithful reinterpretation of the model, but there are also small differences, such as the use of Super-LumiNova to illuminate the dial instead of radioactive tritium, which was indicated by a T on the dial. The watch is powered by the in-house Heuer 02 movement with an 80-hour power reserve.
The latest model introduced is the titanium version of the Aquaracer Solargraph, presented in 2022 at Watches & Wonders Geneva. The Solargraph is Tag Heuer’s first solar-powered watch: it can be fully charged by sunlight in less than 20 hours and, once fully charged, can run for up to six months without needing to be recharged. It is powered by the TH50-00 caliber movement, created exclusively for Tag Heuer by the La Joux-Perret Manufacture in Switzerland. It is made of titanium, with a size of 40 millimeters, and has been designed to be more resistant.
