Introduction:
TAG Heuer announced a new batch of Aquaracer Professional 200 Solargraph 34mm replica watches that are smaller and noticeably dressier than their 40mm counterparts but just as capable in terms of performance and tech.
The Aquaracer Professional 200 Solargraph joined the TAG Heuer catalog in 2022, and the brand has continued to expand its line of solar-powered quartz divers with fresh iterations. We went hands-on with three of the newest models, ranging from sporty blue to swanky mother-of-pearl with diamonds.
A Legacy of Excellence:
Diversifying collections with various size options is a straightforward way to appeal to a wider audience, which rings especially true today given the current inclinations toward smaller AAA Tag Heuer Replica for men and larger ones for women.
The cases of these compact Aquaracer Professional 200 Solargraph models measure 34mm in diameter, 40.6mm lug-to-lug, and 9.7mm thick — comfortable proportions for small and midsize wrists. TAG Heuer explicitly markets these as “designed for both men and women.”
Design Aesthetics:
While men can certainly wear the watches, there are a few that are — at least to my eye — designed with women in mind.The rich blue option is my favorite out of the three and a dive watch with a blue dial just makes sense. Zooming in on the dial, we can see that nice sunburst finish and turquoise accents, such as the seconds hand, minute track plots, and SOLARGRAPH inscription, are charming touches.
As such, one thing that stands out on these Tag Heuer Replica is how thick the dials are; the date window is set in pretty deep compared to a standard dial. I would imagine if those date disks were color-matched rather than stark white, the depth wouldn’t be as noticeable.
Performance and Functionality:
Powering the new 34mm Aquaracer Professional 200 Solargraph is the Caliber TH50-01 solar-powered quartz movement, manufactured exclusively for TAG Heuer in collaboration with La Joux-Perret. The movement charges with either natural or artificial light and only requires two minutes of direct sunlight for a full-day charge.
Alternating between the numerals are raised bezel tabs, also featuring sandblasted centers. In short, the Most Valuable Tag Heuer Replica bezels on the 34mm versions are much more ornate than those affixed to the 40mm Solargraphs. An alluring mix of brushed and polished surfaces are found throughout the watches, from the case flanks and lugs to the three-link bracelets with folding clasps.
Conclusion:
The Solargraph subset is an appealing option for those who enjoy solar-powered watches and the addition of smaller options is in my book, always welcomed. However, I would expect these good-looking and well-built sporty diving watches to be an attractive proposition for newer and/or younger watch buyers who want the practicality of charging by light with the cachet of a big-name Swiss brand like Cheap TAG Heuer Replica.
