![]() Incidentally, on this last point, as this watch is only available from Christian Uhren Schmuck and doesn't appear on the TAG Heuer website, I think it's only fair to pin the blame for this nonsense entirely on the jeweller themselves. In the face of that, you can't just make a flavour of the month 'green' dial watch and blurt out ' because. If you buy an 'Oris Great Barrier Reef ' you are donating money to the planting activities of the 'Reef Restoration Foundation'. If you buy an 'Oris Aquis Clean Ocean' you are donating money to charities dedicated to addressing environmental issues and you also get a box made of litter recovered from the sea! I'm sorry, but you don't get to bleat about 'sustainability' just because your watch is 'green'! (we'll come back to this in just a moment).ģ. ![]() It's limited sure, but is it really 'one of the most exclusive watches of its time'?Ģ. It is a reflection of the current situation in the world and sets a clear sign of sustainability with it's uniquely green appearance.'ġ. 'With a limited edition of just 150, the TAG Heuer Formula 1 'Green' Edition is one of the most exclusive watches of its time. but this passage on their website made me snort slightly derisively. So this watch is made to celebrate 'Christian Uhren Schmuck's' 35th Anniversary, and admittedly I don't know anything about this company, they could be a registered charity for all I know, or donate all their profits to good causes and environmental charities. Can't help but think they should have gone for a plain white TAG Heuer logo though I've said this before on red dialled watches, it never looks quite right to put a coloured badge on the same coloured background. This looks more like 'Jolly Rancher' Green (if that means anything to anyone?) and that orange second hand looks great against it, also notice there are some more orange details at the 12, 3, 6 and 9 positions. The render appears to show a tone more akin to the 'dial' of the Calibre 16, rather than the moss green of that watch's bezel, and I think that's a good choice as the moss green is a bit. As I wrote a few days ago though, that watch has a serious mismatch between dial and bezel that wasn't shown in the render, so with that in mind I can't help but be slightly sceptical about the colours shown here. Limited to just 150 pieces and priced at CHF1350 (£1050) this is the third green men's watch we've seen released this year and from this render it looks like it broadly follows the pattern set by the recent Calibre 16 F1. but no, in the tradition of Ernest Jones and Beaverbrooks, what you are looking at here is another anniversary watch for a jeweller. If you live outside of Zurich, you could be forgiven for not being completely au fait with the name 'Christian Uhren Schmuck' I must admit I didn't have a clue and assumed he was a footballer or other sportsman.
