TAG Heuer Aquaracer Professional Solargraph expands the brand’s outdoor watch lineup with new 40 mm and 28 mm models powered by solar technology. The collection uses proprietary Solargraph movements that draw energy from natural and artificial light.
The larger 40 mm references are offered in stainless steel and titanium cases with redesigned bezels, updated hands and an interchangeable bracelet system. Dial options include blue, green, black and gray finishes, while water resistance reaches 200 metres across the range. The TH50-00 movement delivers up to 10 months of autonomy on a full charge and can generate 40 hours of power from 10 minutes of light exposure.
The 28 mm range presents four steel models with a more compact profile and 100 metres of water resistance. Black and blue sunray dials are paired with diamond hour markers, while additional versions use white mother-of-pearl dials. One reference combines yellow gold-plated accents with a diamond-set bezel.
