![]() ![]() 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). Note: These pics are from before it was serviced.I/trending 26791 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. New pics coming soon, unless you buy it before we can get to it □ Note: These pics are from before it was serviced. The box has signs of wear from storage, but it’s nice to have the set! This is common with older TAG pieces (as well as other brands such as Breitling) and it may be possible to remove the AR coating, but we’re leaving it up to you. ![]() It is more noticeable in the photographs than in real life, and we have opted to keep the original crystal rather than replacing it. The AR coating on the crystal is coming off along the edge, mostly on the 3:00. This is one of the cleaner examples you will find of this older discontinued model, most other have been polished into oblivion, and with this one you have peace of mind that it was overhauled. You can loupe it and nitpick, but these watches were purchased to be worn. Cosmetically, it is very good overall with signs of wear on the case, bracelet, and bezel. Includes: Tag Heuer box and papers, card, manual, leather papers holder, links as pictured.Ĭondition: This piece was serviced in July 2021. Crystal: Scratch resistant sapphire, AR coated.Black horizontal dial (similar to a teak dial). ![]()
