CHIC AND SPORTY
Ever-so sophisticated style, state-of-the-art technological performance and one-of-a-kind digital dials reign supreme in this prestigious smartwatch proposed as a special series.
The marriage of black and a golden hue makes sure that this timepiece diffuses a highly-noticeable, striking visual effect. The Lotus JPS, featuring these colors as they revved through Formula 1s back in the 1980s, were the focus of attention, especially when Ayrton Senna arrived on the scene behind the wheel of one. The racing driver, who would go on to become TAG Heuer’s iconic ambassador, left his mark on racetracks thanks to his style. This timeless elegance is now infused in the Connected Bright Black Edition watch. Its 45 mm-diameter grade 2 titanium case, coated with black DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon), is set off with golden polished ceramic inserts. The presence of a comfortable black rubber and calfskin strap enhances its chic and sporty personality even more.
Dial-side, the displays have been specifically revisited to be in perfect harmony with the look of the case. The new in-house-developed versions of the watchfaces, Eclipse, Helios, Synopsis, Timekeeping, Orbital and Heuer 02, as such boast adornments that are also black and gold.
The integrated functions and applications, helped by the existence of multiple sensors, provide a host of data on a wide array of activities, including golf. Its OS by Google software ensures the data can be easily transmitted to a smartphone. On the autonomy side, the Connected Bright Black Edition watch delivers a full day’s power reserve along with an hour of keep-fit included or six hours of intensive sport or multimedia usage.
