Interestingly, the minute hand is notably long, reaching the chapter ring with its elongated form. The steel hour and minute hands are silver in tone and lined with white luminescent fill. The blue sunray dial resembles light kissing the surface of water, exuding an array of shades, all emanating from the fulcrum of the dial. Personally, I prefer the latter option, but all three dial colours are highly attractive. The Link is available with a choice of three dial options: black, silver-plated or blue sunray. It does not highlight a medical misdemeanour on my part but rather an ergonomic bracelet, ‘boasting the signature S-shaped links’ found on the first Link timepiece unveiled in 1987.Īt Baselworld 2017, the avant-garde Swiss watch brand released a trilogy of models destined to dazzle with their achingly gorgeous appearance. However, TAG Heuer recently unveiled a new Link which I was very interested in hearing about. I confess I am a little bored hearing about ‘links’ and healthy virtues. The problem with middle-age is that there is always a medical practitioner pointing out a link between an unhealthy habit and a potentially serious health condition. Moreover, there is a link between consuming sugary foods and type 2 diabetes. Sound medical advice dictates that there is a link between obesity and high blood pressure. The waistband of my trousers is a tad too tight and I am a little breathless when climbing the stairs. Today, is the first day of my latest diet. This detailed review of the TAG Heuer Steel Link for men Calibre 5 includes live images, specification details and pricing. Some 30 years since its inaugural unveiling, the watch continues to dazzle with its ergonomic bracelet. Sleek, refined and dressy, the new TAG Heuer Link should prove to be as successful as its sportier ’90s precursor.TAG Heuer Steel Link for men Calibre 5 The TAG Heuer Steel Link for men Calibre 5 is the latest iteration of the legendary watch, first unveiled in 1987. Just like it says on the dial, underneath beats a Calibre 5 movement, which is also seen through the sapphire display caseback, and has a power reserve of 38 hours. A printed logo and text, the uncluttered layout echoes the sporting elegance theme with a date at 3 o’clock and a set of baton-style hour markers and hands, which are rhodium-plated and lume-filled for maximum visibility. 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).
