TAG Heuer adds another novelty here with a rubber strap that features the exterior pattern of another reptile : the alligator .
The unidirectional bezels on both Aquaracer 43 mm Tortoise Shell Effect Special Edition models retain the Aquaracer ’ s sixty-minute scale as well as the familiar angled magnifying lens over the date window at 3 o ’ clock .
The strap is held tight with a folding steel clasp with double safety push buttons . Inside is TAG Heuer ’ s Caliber 5 , the brand ’ s reliable ETA-based or Sellita-based automatic movement . Price : $ 2,600 .
NEW QUARTZ KHAKI TAG Heuer ’ s new quartz-powered Aquaracer 43 mm Khaki Special Edition combines a sturdy olive-hued fabric strap and sharp-looking anthracite sunray brushed dial . And rather than a sun-dappled steel bezel , the watch ’ s aluminum unidirectional rotating bezel is tinted with a down-to-earth olive hue .
Like the new automatic models above , this quartz debut features a polished and fine-brushed steel case , rhodium-plated and luminous hour , minute and seconds hands and the same angled date window . Likewise , the back of the watch echoes the Aquaracer standard with a solid caseback engraved with an image of a vintage divers ’ helmet . Price : $ 1,600 .
