The teal Dato is available in a case measuring 39mm in diameter and 13.86mm tall. That may appear to be on the tall facet, however the Glassbox design, with its outstanding crystal and the outer flange on the dial, makes every thing really feel just a bit extra compact. The design of the crystal, and the best way the flange fills it, additionally helps legibility when the dial is seen from an angle.
One thing else that’s value noting about this Dato is that it’s a part of the everlasting TAG Heuer assortment, and never a restricted version. This follows the discharge technique of one other wanted Carrera, the aforementioned Skipper, which was first reissued as a restricted version with Hodinkee that bought out shortly when it launched all the best way again in 2017, after which noticed a everlasting assortment launch in Glassbox type simply final 12 months. Equally, the Dato was the topic of one other Hodinkee restricted version in 2021. These too bought out quick, however just a few years later TAG has launched a model for everybody. Whereas I think about some homeowners of the restricted editions are rolling their eyes this week, I believe it’s nice that TAG has made it attainable for any collector to decide on so as to add a Dato to their watch field at their leisure. Extra choices, usually, are a very good factor, and this shiny teal dial stands by itself anyway.
Powering the watch is the TH20-07 caliber with an 80 hour energy reserve, seen by means of the exhibition caseback. The watch has 100 meters of water resistance and the Carrera Glassboxes circumstances are very properly completed with brushed case partitions and polished lugs. The retail value is ready at $6,550, which seems like a compelling worth all issues thought of. TAG Heuer
