COVER STORY
FACETS OF INNOVATION
By Roger Ruegger | With the reimagined Aquaracer collection,
TAG Heuer aims to “bring out the adventurous side of every
watch enthusiast.” WatchTime takes a closer look at the latest
watches equipped with the characteristic 12-faceted bezel:
the Superdiver, the Solargraph and the Orange Diver.
TESTS & REVIEWS
ICE DIVER
By Martina Richter | For its new dive watch, Montblanc took
inspiration from the heights of the Mont Blanc massif, the
highest Alpine peak, which gave the brand its name. We check
out the 1858 Iced Sea Automatic Date.
AT THE PEAK OF DAILY LIFE
By Martina Richter and Jens Koch | When the Explorer
debuted in 1953, its name showed that Rolex made it for
discoverers. But its high-quality features make it ideal for
wearers facing the challenges of everyday life. We tested
the latest model in Rolesor.
RETRO TIME
By Alexander Krupp | While the new Tissot PRX Powermatic 80
is based on a model from the 1970s, its attributes make it
well suited for modern life.
UNDERWATER PATHFINDER
By Jens Koch | Tudor has revived its tradition as a supplier
to French Navy combat swimmers with a tool watch that
incorporates historical design elements while meeting the
modern specifications for a navigation instrument.
FLYING HIGH
By Martina Richter | The new Breitling Super AVI line
celebrates the history of aviation. We tested the Mosquito
version of the Super AVI B04 Chronograph GMT 46.
