Replica TAG Heuer, with the possible exception of motorsports, perhaps no other sport has as deep a connection with the modern luxury watch industry as professional tennis. Brands from across the industry have forged relationships with high-profile tennis stars for decades, and top-ranked Japanese player Naomi Osaka is no exception. As her partnership with TAG Heuer enters its second year in 2022, the brand has announced a special limited edition model designed in collaboration with Osaka herself. The new Replica TAG Heuer Aquaracer Professional 300 Naomi Osaka Limited Edition shines a new light on the recently redesigned 36mm Aquaracer series, pairing robust capability with a softer, more verdant take on the brand’s cornerstone dive watch.

Measuring in at a compact 36mm, the stainless steel case of the Replica TAG Heuer Aquaracer Professional 300 Naomi Osaka Limited Edition builds on the smaller of the two standard Aquaracer models. Although the overall form may be lighter and less aggressive than its 43mm sibling, this case shares many of the hallmarks of the modern Aquaracer series, including the angular chamfered case sides, pronounced crown guards, and the line’s signature 12-sided rotating dive bezel. Here, this familiar bezel receives a clean engraved black ceramic insert, with a dive scale in high-contrast white. The Replica TAG Heuer Aquaracer Professional 300 Naomi Osaka Limited Edition really begins to set itself apart with its engraved solid caseback, however, where TAG Heuer adds Naomi Osaka’s personal flower logo on a guilloche background (the brand was unable to provide an image of this caseback before press time). Like the rest of the series, the Aquaracer Professional 300 Naomi Osaka Limited Edition offers a dive-ready 300 meters of water resistance.

For the dial of the Replica TAG Heuer Aquaracer Professional 300 Naomi Osaka Limited Edition, TAG Heuer drapes its familiar angular take on dive watch cues in a delicate seafoam green tone. This unorthodox surface is eye-catchingly dynamic in initial images, with a sinuous raised wave texture accentuated by a bright sunburst finish. The dial text and applied indices appear to float over this undulating surface in images thanks to a clear top layer. The brand complements this pale green surface with more vibrant lime green plots on the outer chapter ring, and adds an extra layer of visual drama to the design by replacing the Aquaracer’s trademark applied octagonal indices with eight brilliant cut diamonds. The 6 o’clock date window and round cyclops magnifier will likely be divisive elements among enthusiasts, as while they make useful information more easily legible on a smaller dial space, they arguably disrupt the flow of the dial design.

Inside the Fake TAG Heuer Aquaracer Professional 300 Naomi Osaka Limited Edition beats the Sellita SW200-1 based Calibre 5 automatic movement. The Calibre 5 has been a staple of TAG Heuer’s lineup for years, and while it remains durable and easy to service, this powerplant is beginning to show signs of age in terms of performance. TAG Heuer rates its power reserve at a below-average 38 hours at a 28,800 bph beat rate. To complete the package, TAG Heuer equips the Replica Aquaracer Professional 300 Naomi Osaka Limited Edition with a textured curved-end rubber strap in deep grass green.

In addition to the visual appeal, the Replica TAG Heuer Aquaracer Professional 300 Naomi Osaka Limited Edition boasts a unique blend of aesthetics and functionality. This limited edition stands out not only for its vibrant design but also for the legacy it represents, merging TAG Heuer’s horological heritage with the dynamism of a modern sports icon.

Furthermore, this collaboration with Naomi Osaka highlights TAG Heuer’s commitment to supporting and celebrating athletic excellence. The watch is not just a timekeeping instrument but also a symbol of Osaka’s inspiring journey and achievements, encapsulating her strength, grace, and style in a meticulously crafted timepiece.

While Replica TAG Heuer is a brand renowned for its embrace of new and modern technologies, it’s only in recent years that solar-powered timepieces have become a part of its catalog. The debut of the first Aquaracer Professional 200 Solargraph took place at Watches & Wonders 2022, and since then, the series has expanded to encompass several stainless steel models and even a version crafted entirely from titanium. Now, as part of its latest releases unveiled at LVMH Watch Week 2024, TAG Heuer introduces a 34mm iteration of its solar-powered sports watch, marking the debut of the new midsize TAG Heuer Aquaracer Professional 200 Solargraph series in five distinct configurations.

In terms of aesthetics, the new 34mm Replica TAG Heuer Aquaracer Professional 200 Solargraph watches largely align with the modern lineup, although the 34mm case size itself is a fresh addition to the collection. Notably, the unidirectional rotating timing bezel maintains the fundamental shape found in other current-production Aquaracer models but with a slightly bolder and more ornate appearance, featuring predominantly polished surfaces and raised trapezoid-shaped tabs between the ten-minute markers. Unlike the flat octagonal bezel of the rest of the modern Aquaracer Professional 200 lineup, the bezel of the 34mm Solargraph models possesses a more pronounced presence, reminiscent of older styles of Aquaracer bezels used by TAG Heuer a couple of decades ago.

Crafted from stainless steel with linear brushed surfaces and high-polished bevels along their lugs, the five new 34mm Replica TAG Heuer Aquaracer Professional 200 Solargraph watches boast redesigned lug shapes to complement their compact case size, resulting in a lug-to-lug profile of just 40.6mm. These midsize Aquaracer Solargraph models measure 34mm in diameter by 9.7mm thick, featuring flat sapphire crystals with double anti-reflective treatment and solid screwed casebacks for water resistance up to 200 meters. At the 3 o’clock position, large screw-down crowns are secured between two guards.

Among the five models, the ref. WBP1311.BA0005 stands out as the most traditional, featuring a deep blue sunray dial with signature polar blue/turquoise accents. On the other hand, the ref. WBP1315.BA0005 leans into the Solargraph’s signature color with a dial entirely in polar blue/turquoise with an iridescent finish. The remaining three models all sport mother-of-pearl dials, differing only in the quantity of diamonds adorning them. The ref. WBP1312.BA0005 features a standard mother-of-pearl dial without diamonds, while the ref. WBP1313.BA0005 boasts diamond-set hour markers. Lastly, the ref. WBP1314.BA0005 (not pictured) represents the top-tier model with both a diamond-set dial and additional diamonds on the bezel between its raised sections.

Like most replica watches, the TAG Heuer Aquaracer Professional 200 Solargraph lineup incorporates solar panels beneath the dials, requiring semi-transparent dials to allow light penetration. To ensure the dials maintain their lustrous appearance while permitting sufficient light to power the watch, TAG Heuer meticulously constructs the mother-of-pearl dials of the new 34mm Solargraph models without a solid metal backing, utilizing just the right thickness of mother-of-pearl material.
