The blue will probably prove to be the most popular, but the other two options still hold their own. There are three dial options: silver, black, and blue sunray. A quality that is carried through from the slim profile of the case. Seamlessly tapering away and gently moulding to sit flat against the wrist. And just like its predecessor, it’s fully integrated into the case. Twin S-shaped links follow suit and are also vertically brushed with polished rounded edges, and have a way of catching reflections to create a lively mix of light and shadow. While the case is all new, the Link is all about the bracelet, it’s where it gets its name from after all. The smooth lines mean that this Link is elegant and dressy, but with subtle crown protectors and 100m of water resistance, it harkens back to the sportiness of the 1987 original. With satin brushing and polished edges creating contrast and emphasising its silhouette, particularly on the two-piece bezel. Now measuring 41mm, the case of the updated Link treads the curved line between a round and cushion shape. At least that was until last year when it was relaunched in the women’s collection, and this year it’s the men’s turn. In recent years, however, the Link was overshadowed by the other big players in the TAG Heuer catalogue. First released in 1987, the Link began life as the TAG Heuer S/EL (short for Sports Elegance) and throughout the ’90s was one of their most successful models. And in the case of the new TAG Heuer Link it can actually be a very good thing. And just getting yourself up and down from a chair now takes effort and involves a distinctly loud groan. It’s an age when we’re expected to be mature and take life seriously. So, have another look at the cool, clear lines of the latest Link in Cam’s review …įor some, turning 30 is a daunting occasion. It’s such an evocative design for the brand, and one that is due for a serious comeback (if everything else ’90s is an indication). Price: A$10,650 (Sporty Blue), A$34,100 (Sporty Red).I/trending 26501 The sporty sleek TAG Heuer Link Calibre 5 Time+TideĮditor’s note: I’ve got a real soft spot for the TAG Heuer Link - and indeed for integrated bracelets more generally. The TAG Heuer Carrera x Porsche RS 2.7 becomes is now available in October, limited to 500 pieces in the Sporty Blue Edition and 250 pieces in Sporty Red Edition. TAG Heuer Carrera x Porsche RS 2.7 pricing and availability: On the rose-gold model, rather than colouring the side with Guards Red, TAG Heuer etches it deep into the case and creates a polished and grained contrast. The dial accents that were red in the Sporty Blue are now Sporty Red, with TAG Heuer noting the resemblance of the minute totaliser to Porsche’s iconic Fuchs wheels (not quite sure about that one).Ĭertainly bearing more than a passing resemblance is the oscillating weight of the Heuer 02 calibre, which has been fashioned and skeletonised to represent a modern, three-spoke Porsche steering wheel, all visible through the open caseback. The other model celebrates the Indischrot or Guards Red colour by pairing it with a 18K 5N rose-gold case and vibrant red alligator strap. The case, as mentioned before, measures in at 42mm and is rendered in stainless steel, with both an H-link stainless-steel bracelet and the white NATO strap included. The rest of the Sporty Blue Edition gets the same blue-and-white treatment, with the signature Carrera stripe running the length of the NATO strap and case side and blue accents on the crown and top chronograph pusher. This layout makes the Carrera a three-register chrono in disguise. While the chronograph sub-dials get a circularly grained finish, the running seconds is tucked away at 6 o’clock, just above a stepped date window.

Its opaline white dial is full of blue accents, including the chronograph hands, sub-dial printing, and rehaut details. The Sporty Blue Edition is the first of the two, limited to 500 pieces and recalling the 2.7 RS’ Glasurblau colour. Sold in 27 different colour combinations, the Fuchs wheels that were colour-matched to the Carrera stripe down the length of the car inspired the design choices of TAG Heuer’s newest releases.
