TAG Heuer Watches and Oracle Team USA Introduce First Smartwatch for Sailing
Well, that didn’t take long. The recent rise of the so-called smartwatch has reached the “traditional” Swiss watch industry. TAG Heuer has teamed up with America’s Cup champion Oracle Team U.S.A. to develop the new TAG Heuer Aquaracer 72, which TAG is calling “the first-ever Swiss sports smartwatch dedicated to competitive sailing.” The watch, which is a product of the R&D departments of both TAG Heuer and Oracle, made its debut on the wrists of Oracle Team USA sailors at this year’s 34th America’s Cup, won by Oracle Team USA in thrilling come-from-behind fashion on September 25.

The colors are nice, and you can still see much of the watch underneath. The RM 055 has a tourbillon based manually-wound movement with the time, power reserve indicator, and torque indicator. A cool piece, and it is up to you to decide whether or not the colorf

Picked up a bnib 15450 silver today. Photos taken with stickers on as I am still deciding if the 37mm works with my wrist. Taken next to my yellow gold Sub and WG Daytona, there is not much difference in size between AP's 37mm and Rolex's 40mm cases.
