A Man, a Watch, a Lifestyle: Mark Webber for TAG Heuer

04:56:14 pm | Categories: TAG Heuer | 8222 views

Mark Webber exudes TAG Heuer AQUARACER style in every aspect of his life and every atom of his being. Driven by a love of nature, a need for speed, and a belief in human achievement and creative freedom, the F1 driver for Red Bull Racing is the archetype of the accomplished man. Blessed with philosophical depth and a keenness of spirit, he is not only physically and intellectually attractive, but one of the most dynamic, confident and compelling men of his generation.

And one of the humblest:

“Feeling the power of nature around me gives me energy and puts me in my place. It reminds me that, no matter how big and strong I may feel during a race, I am only a infinitesimally small part of this planet.”

Mark belongs to the very select group of Australian drivers to have reached Formula One. He did it through hard work and determination, building steadily on successful careers in Formula Ford, Formula 3, GT series and Formula 3000. Awarded Best Newcomer of the Year in Formula 1 in 2002, he reached the podium in the Monaco Grand Prix in 2005. This year, with Red Bull Racing, he once more impressed the F1 world, as he is sure to do again in 2009.

This is what is truly inspiring about this remarkable man: a capacity to continually reinvent himself, to seek out and find new opportunities, to adapt and innovate. This permanent quest is one of the many values he shares with TAG Heuer. Like our founder Edouard Heuer and all our heroes since, Mark Webber is not only pursuing a victory, he is racing down a road less traveled, one that never ends, that leads ever forward towards that receding point on the horizon called ‘Better’.

Mark’s greatest achievement is also one with no finish line: his annual crusade to raise funds for the Mark Webber Challenge Foundation, the organization that umbrellas his numerous philanthropic activities supporting Australian charities: www.markwebberchallenge.com.

It is between races, when he can be alone in nature, that Mark Webber finds the energy to truly surpass himself. Kayaking, mountain biking and road cycling replenish and renew his resources. For him, sport is an attitude, not an activity.

His sartorial style matches this spirit. So does his watch: the AQUARACER, TAG Heuer’s most rugged series, inspired by professional water sports.

The TAG Heuer AQUARACER Grand-Date worn by Mark Webber is the perfect outdoorsman’s watch, but also breathes fresh air into business and travel. Water resistant to a depth of 300 meters, with a unique dual bezel, twin hand semi-circular counter at 6 o’clock and large date window at 12, its 43mm case is loaded with masculine character and robust style.

Mark Webber wears the TAG Heuer AQUARACER Calibre S for its sharp design and reliability. A patented electro-mechanical movement combines watchmaking innovation and cutting-edge precision with the AQUARACER’s signature turning bezel and fixed aluminum ring. The dial, available in black, silver, blue or yellow, with its two semi-circular counters, makes it the world’s easiest-to-read chronograph.

The TAG Heuer AQUARACER Chronotimer combines analog and digital displays with three openings on the backlit dial. The second time zone, alarm function and perpetual calendar — plus four additional digital functions — make it the ideal travel chronograph. Plus it has all the technical features of a superlative sports watch, including turning bezel, textured rubber strap and water resistance to 300 meters. Available with black or yellow dial, the TAG Heuer AQUARACER Chronotimer sends a strong sporting message, powerfully communicating its owner’s overwhelming passion for speed. (TAG Heuer press)
