The bold and sporty Aquaracer blends high performance with optimal readability and prestige styling. The 39 mm case is crafted from a solid block of stainless steel and showcases a white dial with bold luminous hands and markers and silver-tone seconds hand. The dial also features a full-color TAG Heuer logo and a date display at the three o'clock hour. Framing the dial is a unidirectional rotating bezel, in polished steel, with an oversized Arabic numeral at the 12 o'clock position and a luminescent marker around the rest of the dial. The handsome link bracelet, in brushed and polished steel, fastens securely with a double safety clasp and features an extension system so that the watch can be worn over a diving suit. Other notable features of this watch include precise Swiss quartz movement, a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal and a screw-in crown and caseback for water resistance to 300 meters. TAG Heuer traces its roots to the Swiss village of St-Imier where, in 1860, watchmaker Edouard Heuer opened his first shop. His vision was to create remarkable timepieces that pushed the envelope of innovation and precision. The company's reputation grew and Heuer's first patent for a chronograph mechanism in 1882 was followed by a long list of achievements: the first stopwatch accurate to 1/100 of a second, the first dashboard stopwatch for race cars, the first miniature electronic timekeeping device accurate to 1/1000th of a second, and the first automatic movement with a microrotor, to name just a few. Heuer's reputation for gold-standard precision earned the company the privilege of providing official timing services for a number of world-class competitive sporting events, including the Olympic Games, the FIS Ski World Cup, and the FIA Formula 1 World Championships. To this day, TAG Heuer maintains a close association with the world of competitive sports and enjoys a devoted following among sports celebrities and enthusiasts. In 1985, Heuer joined the TAG (Techniques D'Avant-Garde) group, and the TAG Heuer name and logo were created. Now one of the most recognized and sought-after watch brands in the world, TAG Heuer continues its reputation of innovative design and technological excellence.
