Tag Heuer Aquaracer Professional 300 'Night Diver'
I’m here to say that Full Dial Lume is coming back, baby! We just saw the release of the Bulgari “Nuclear Option” and now with the Tag Heuer Professional 300 ‘Night Diver’. A unique bond-esque (No seriously, a similar Tag Heuer watch was featured in a Bond film).

THE JUICE:
Maybe it’s just me, and being reminiscent of my childhood Timex Indiglo watch, but I get “the feels” when I see a full dial lume watch. Add into the mix that I’m already a big fan of the Aquaracer line (it was one of the first “luxury” watches I ever had my eye on), and the Night Diver just does it for me.
The black PVD case gives the watch a cool tactical look, and the full dial lume paired with the alternating blue/green lumed indices and handset on top - is just cool. The Aquaracer line was recently re-released with an updated design language, and the Night Diver just compliments an already solid line of the brands dive watches. Since the brand has really only recently released the green dial Carrera (which is already sold out), the Night Diver is a more casual look. The black carbon PVD is dressed down, and the textured rubber strap and monochromatic dial makes this watch more utility than style - Though it does have plenty of that too.
If you’re not a Diver, this watch is a simply black and white BBQ conversation piece. If you’re looking for adventure? This is a beautiful pairing. And the full-lume dial means you won’t be struggling to pick out the time in a cave.
How much is the Tag Heuer Aquaracer Professional 300 ‘Night Diver’?
Price for the new diver will come in around $3,350 - a roughly five hundred dollar increase over the traditional Aquaracer.
