The brand new Aquaracer Professional 200 Solargraph is a timepiece like no other. Watchmaker TAG Heuer recently released this piece and as the name might suggest, the watch is solar-powered. However, it is not just solar movement that can keep the watch going. Artificial light can apparently do the trick, as well.
The performance of the Aquaracer Professional 200 Solargraph is truly impressive. Just two minutes of exposure to light—sun or artificial—is enough to power the watch for an entire day. If it's charged to its full capacity, TAG Heuer's timepiece is capable of running "up to six months with no light exposure."
Unsurprisingly, the new Aquaracer Professional timepiece was designed to withstand even the harshest conditions. The timepiece will be available in February 2023.
