TAG Heuer Launches Muhammad Ali Edition Replica Watch

TAG Heuer has launched a new watch that pays tribute to legendary boxer and activist Muhammad Ali, following the first TAG Heuer Carrera Muhammad Ali special editions from 2016. The new Carrera Calibre 5 Muhammad Ali Limited Edition is a 43mm watch in stainless steel with two crowns: one at 3 o’clock for setting the time, the other at 10 o’clock for rotating the internal bezel. There are two rings – the outer, in red, for timing 3-minute professional heavyweight boxing bouts; the inner, in cream, for timing 2-minute amateur bouts. Each ring is interspersed with black markers for the 1-minute break betweens rounds.

The Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra 150m is arguably one of the better value, all-round, entry-level watches available on the market today. It’s also most likely flying completely under your radar. In the collection since 2003, it received a subtle visual refresh last year, along with an in-house movement in the form of the Master Chronometer calibre 8900. Striking the balance between everyday wear and elegant dress watch, the Aqua Terra is the perfect choice for those people looking for one watch for all occasions.

It may not carry the same level of prestige as say the Rolex Datejust 41 in Oystersteel, but it also costs approximately 30% less whilst offering many similar benefits. Although it belongs to the Seamaster family, it’s not a dive watch as such. Instead, Omega’s describes it a...
