TAG Heuer Link watches

The TAG Heuer Link is the brand's sports-elegance bracelet watch. It began in 1987 as the S/el, short for Sports Elegance, and was one of TAG Heuer's most successful models through the 1990s. It later took the name Link from its bracelet, which is built from double S-shaped links.

TAG Heuer refreshed the women's Link in 2016 and the men's line in 2017. The 2017 men's watches are automatics with a date at 3 o'clock, running the Calibre 5, an ETA 2824-type movement beating at 4 Hz, seen through a sapphire caseback. The steel case grew by 1 mm to 41 mm and sets a round bezel on a cushion-shaped base. Subtle crown guards and 100 m of water resistance keep some of the sportiness of the 1987 original. The bracelet is integrated into the case, so other straps won't fit. The S-links are brushed with polished, rounded edges. The WBC2110.BA0603 has a black dial, the WBC2111.BA0603 silver and the WBC2112.BA0603 blue sunray; the black and silver versions carry a date wheel matched to the dial, while the blue one has a white date wheel. Hands and hour markers are filled with Super-LumiNova.

The 32 mm Link Quartz comes in steel with plain beige, black or blue dials, or mother-of-pearl in white, blue or pink, and some add a diamond-set bezel. The WBC1350.BA0600 pairs steel with rose gold, and the WBC1390.BH0744 moves to a black ceramic case with a diamond-set bezel and a black mother-of-pearl dial.

Two other Links sit apart from these. The Link Calibre 16 (CJF2150.BB0595) is a 42 mm watch in steel and yellow gold with a silver dial, and the Link Calibre 6 (WJF211B.BA0570) is a 39 mm steel model, also with a silver dial.
