TAG Heuer Connected
From high-octane motor racing to the more leisurely pursuit of golf, TAG Heuer has long been involved in sports in all its forms. Therefore, it’s only natural that the watchmaker has extended its partnership with the London Marathon as the Official Timekeeper, with its high-tech Connected smartwatch there to keep competitors on track throughout their demanding training. It has all the essentials to analyse a variety of workouts, measuring everything from exercise intensity to the level of effort perceived by the body through real-time and continuous heart rate monitoring. Meanwhile, TAG Heuer has recently added a Wellness app allowing the wearer to take a more holistic view of their health and fitness by helping them understand how their effort and movement throughout the day is benefiting their bodies.
Breitling Endurance Pro Ironman
Breitling’s Endurance Pro comes tried and tested by its all-star triathlon squad, comprising some of the world’s top athletes. Every element of the sporty watch has been formulated for high performance while offering comfort and style for everyday wear. This extends from its ultra-light Breitlight case, weighing in at 3.3 times lighter than titanium and 5.8 times lighter than stainless steel, to its SuperQuartz movement, offering 10 times the accuracy of standard quartz. This special model comes with the seal of approval from the most influential triathlon series, Ironman, featuring its distinctive branding on the dial and caseback.
Omega Seamaster Diver 300M Tokyo 2020
When it comes to sporting timekeeping, few watchmakers have as strong a pedigree as Omega. Tokyo 2020 was the 29th time it has been the Official Timekeeper for the Olympics, since it first took on the role in 1932. And as well as keeping track of some of the most important moments in sport, this year it has also released a number of special-edition watches with this same commitment to performance and precision. This commemorative take on its rugged diving watch is in a colour scheme inspired by the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games emblem and comes in a special Olympic Games presentation box.
