Nearly everything gets better the second time around. That includes watch collaborations. Introducing the TAG Heuer x Time+Tide Aquaracer Professional 300 Sundowner II, the pair's second joint effort, and it's a doozy—an automatic dive watch with 300 meters of water resistance and a COSC-certified movement for well under $6,000. But there's a catch: Production is limited to just 500 pieces worldwide.

Back in 2024, TAG Heuer and the Australian-founded watch platform Time+Tide dropped their initial collaboration—the Aquaracer Professional 200 Solargraph Sundowner—a handsome titanium, solar-powered quartz watch with a black dial and rose-gold accents inspired by the Australian Outback. Production was limited, and all 250 pieces sold out in 24 hours.

TAG Heuer Aquaracer Sundowner II: A Titanium Dive Watch With Serious Upgrades

The new Sundowner II takes the titanium dive watch theme, along with the Land Down Under inspiration, and builds on it. The sandblasted grade 2 titanium case is now 42 mm (up from 40 mm). Water resistance has been boosted from 200 meters to 300 meters.

Like the first Sundowner, the new watch uses a titanium bezel with a 60-minute dive scale to frame a black dial with rose-gold accents. But the Sundowner II adds a gray ceramic bezel insert for a more dramatic effect. A new wave dial design adds to its wrist presence, with ridges stamped into the brass dial plate, then sunray-finished in black. A transparent varnish adds an eye-catching shimmer as it catches the light. The watch is fortified with an anti-reflective sapphire crystal, a screw-down crown, and a screw-in caseback signed by both TAG Heuer and Time+Tide.

Inside, the Sundowner II runs on TAG Heuer's Calibre TH31-01 mechanical movement. The COSC-certified self-winding movement offers an 80-hour power reserve and is accurate to -4 to +6 seconds per day.

The watch comes on either an integrated black rubber strap with a titanium, micro-adjustable deployant clasp or a titanium three-link bracelet with a folding clasp, also with micro-adjustment capability.
