TAG Heuer and the iconic golf-player Tiger Woods have maintained a continuous partnership. TAG Heuer-Tiger Woods successful cooperation started in 2003 – the sportsmen became the brand’s Global Ambassador. Tiger Woods has played a significant role in designing and developing of TAG Heuer timepieces, including the Link Tiger Woods Special Edition. In April, 2005 TAG Heuer developed a watch for professional golf-players – the first ever in the world. The TAG Heuer Professional Golf Watch appeared in a limited-edition of just 8000 pieces. Tiger Woods personally took part in the development of the timepiece’s design, using his profound experience in the field of professional golf.
In addition, the sportsman tested the Professional Golf Watch patterns and wore the pro-series in golf tournaments. To develop the right timepiece for professional golfers was a really complicated task. Golfers avoid wearing a watch for certain reasons – the wrist of a golfer is always under extra loading but a watch implies the additional weight on the wrist and discomfort of a loose or tight strap. However, Tag Heuer’s experienced team of watchmakers and designers managed to overcome all the obstacles.
Today a professional golfer can enjoy wearing a watch in complete comfort. The rule of taking off a timepiece before stepping up to the tee may sink into oblivion due to the appearance of TAG Heuer Professional Golf Watch.
In 2007 the brand has launched the new Link Calibre 6 Tiger Woods Limited Edition 2006. The watch is characterized by slim lines and supreme elegance. The dial features a big-sized small seconds counter and a date aperture at 6 o’clock. The timepiece’s sapphire crystal case back reveals Tiger Woods’ signature. It is powered by an automatic movement. The special edition Link watch is aimed at collectors and Tiger Woods’ fans in particular.
Tag Heuer has also developed its new Link Calibre 7 GMT. This timepiece is in high demand among travelers who often visit other countries on business or just for pleasure. The Link Calibre 7 GMT has been inspired by Tiger Woods who is a busy traveler according to his professional schedule. It features the golf-player’s signature. Being 39 mm in diameter, the timepiece is stylishly slim. It provides a 24-hour function, while the date counter is placed at 6 o’clock. There is an over-sized hand with a red tip for indicating the time in the second time zone moving around the 24-hour scale on the fixed bezel. The watch is equipped with an automatic movement. Its scratch-resistant sapphire crystal is slightly curved. The watch offers 200-meter water-resistance.
