Aren't cyclops
No? I thought inner cyclops, below the crystal.

WE THANK YOU FOR YOUR ORDER.
Congrats @Hubert !! 馃憤

This one is -by far- my favourite New Aquaracer 馃グ... unfortunately the only one that is limited, and only to 844 pieces 馃

I can't believe they actually went with the cyclops at 6. They're good-looking watches, think the Ti green and the 844 are pretty good, but 100% ruined by that cyclops IMO.

I love a titanium diver and probably would've been got by the 844 had they just left the cyclops off (really should have been a no-date though IMO)

Damn DC your photos are in another league. Why can鈥檛 TAG Heuer release photos like this? All those renders blur out the details. I almost feel like I鈥檝e seen them in the metal now 馃憤
Blue is my favourite. Wouldn鈥檛 dream of getting any of these but they look better than expected. The 40mm one will be a looker.

Top, no question.

Too many different design elements going on in the newer Aquaracers. I think they're a bit of a mess to be honest.

I agree - they're very busy for a 3 hander. I imagine the 844 with round lumes/bezel would have been a better L.E.

Too kind!

Yesterday was a rush, as the watches only just arrived in Australia after Easter, but like you, I wanted to see the watch properly rather than renders.

As I hope came across on the article, I鈥檓 really impressed with the watch. Yes, fake lume is a bit much and I鈥檇 also drop the magnifier, but part from that, it鈥檚 a big thumbs up

By the way, my guess is that the dial will change before production. The name was seemingly changed late to Aquaracer Professional 300, so would make sense to update the dial.

I'm really struggling with those lume pots. They look odd because they are all angled to face the edge, but that means they look at odds with each other...
David's slidey comparator thing tells me that I prefer the old version, in just about every single detail.. 馃檨
Also, you guys probably didn't notice but all the 36mm ladies models are automatics. Seems a bit odd... presumably there will be quartz versions as ladies tend not to go for autos.

When I saw the renders, I didn't like the hour markers- they kind of look like diamonds. on the wrist, I have to say that they look like round hour markers. Unless you get out your loupe, you won't notice they actually are12-sided

I mean, why wouldn't they? it's 30M! That's deep as hell! Deeper than 99.99999% of every human being alive on this planet will ever see.
30m has been taken by Omega Speedmaster. I think no other watch brand can use it anymore....

So they are going to add 'Professional' to the dial so that everyone thinks it is a quartz watch but then sees 'Automatic' too and thinks, WTF?

That's my guess. It's only us TAG Heuer nerds who will link Professional to Quartz 馃槑...I'm sure most people won't look twice.

Hate to say it - but the top looks best. Bold and unique.

Been excited watching this thread and release but was hoping for more...

I didn't love the new Green one- the matte case didn't help, but I also think the green on the older model is nicer

I feel the same. I'll be patiently waiting to see a 40mm release. The black special edition is my favorite of the bunch but the 43mm size I feel is too much for my wrist even though they have shortened the lug to lug. It appears that bigger watches are still what sells today.

I would have also preferred 41mm to 43mm...but I have it on my wrist right now and it definitely doesn't feel too big (I don't usually like any larger than 41mm). Worth a try to see if it works for you.
