The TAG Heuer Tiger Woods professional Golf Watch

The clasp and folding buckle of a conventional watch are often awkward and can hurt the wrist when playing golf intensively. The standard placement of the crown at 3 o'clock can also penalize the golfer when the wrist is bent. To overcome these obstacles, TAG Heuer integrated the clasp into the watch head with a revolutionary patented system and moved the crown across the dial to 9 o'clock.

A regular watch often slides on the wrist, snagging on the golfer's glove. When the strap of a regular watch is too loose, the watch hits the wrist and glove, which is uncomfortable. Too tight is uncomfortable too, as the wrist's diameter changes during the course of a game--even during the course of a single swing.

To combat these problems, TAG Heuer developed an exclusive, ultra-flexible rubber strap with amazing elasticity. The strap never slides, prevents any shock on the wrist and adapts its length to any change in wrist diameter.

Objective Number Two: Optimizing performance and precision with elegance

As a regular watch is often too heavy, the golfer’s swing and putting precision can be affected. Made of ultra-light titanium, stainless steel and silicon rubber, the super-slim TAG Heuer Professional Golf Watch weighs only 55 grams, making it an astonishing 60% lighter than a TAG Heuer 2000 Steel watch.

Says Tiger Woods: "Its so incredibly light you literally forget it’s on your wrist--until you need it." This extraordinary slimness also makes the TAG Heuer Professional Golf watch one of the most elegant and dressy luxury square-shaped watches on the market.

Objective Number Three: Watch resistance to golf-swing shock

Another reason golfers don't wear their regular watches while playing is because watches are very quickly damaged by the repetitive and violent shocks generated by golf swings. The TAG Heuer Professional Golf Watch's ultra-light weight, strap elasticity and anti-shock design and construction gives an incomparable 5,000 G of shock absorption--45 times more than the shock received by the watch during a golf swing.
