TAG Heuer Replica Connected Caliber E4 Malbon Golf Edition
TAG Heuer presents the ‘Connected Caliber E4 Malbon Golf Edition’ based on collaboration with Malbon Golf. In Korea, a pop-up store was opened to commemorate the launch at Lotte Avenuel Jamsil branch on February 23rd. At the store, which is scheduled to operate until March 6, you can find a variety of collaborative products, including replica watches, golf wear, stand bags, driver and iron covers, etc.
As its name suggests, the Connected Caliber E4 Malbon Golf Edition is based on the existing Connected Caliber E4, especially the Golf Edition, also known as the ‘caddy on the wrist,’ and adds Malbon Golf colors to various parts of the watch, including the bezel and strap. Of course, the real killing point is different. This is a cute watch face featuring Malbon Golf’s mascot ‘Bucket’. The new bucket catches your eye every now and then, and you can’t help but notice it. As I look at it, a part of my heart feels numb. Instead of the subtle Malbon logo, the bucket’s hat features the replica TAG Heuer shield logo. For reference, Malbon Golf is a lifestyle golf wear brand founded by Stephen Malbon and Erica Malbon in 2017. It is especially popular among the MZ generation due to its sophisticated design and cute logo play that are suitable for everyday wear. It is the perfect partner for the younger TAG Heuer.
The case of the Malbon Golf Edition is not much different from the existing 45mm model, except for Malbon’s unique color points. The middle case and case back are made of black DLC-coated titanium, and the bezel is made of ceramic. The number 18 engraved on the bezel surface refers to 18 holes, which is the standard for golf courses. The case back is equipped with sensors used for various functions, including a heart rate monitor, compass, accelerometer, gyroscope, and barometer. Water resistance is 50m.
The touch screen corresponding to the dial is a 1.39-inch AMOLED display (454×454 pixels). The process runs on Qualcomm® Snapdragon Wear™ 4100+. As before, it supports a variety of useful functions in daily life based on various dedicated apps such as sports, fitness, and wellness. The key is, of course, the dedicated golf app. First, we support accurate, up-to-date maps in 3D (some in 2D) for more than 40,000 courses around the world, including all CCs in Korea. During a match, it automatically tracks every shot and records your score, as well as calculates the distance to the hole and even recommends appropriate clubs by analyzing previously recorded shots. Using the smartphone app, you can also check the scores between players in real time.
The Connected Caliber E4 Malbon Golf Edition features a basic strap made of fluorescent yellow rubber with green leather and an additional, more subdued black rubber band. Each strap can be easily replaced without any tools through its unique quick change system. The product price including the special package is 3.55 million won.
