Dynamic, sporty styling and reliable precision make the Aquaracer WAF1417.BA08012 the perfect watch for all of your water sport adventures. The elegant light blue mother-of-pearl dial has a clean, uncluttered look and features three-hand function, a tonal TAG Heuer logo, and an automatic date calendar at the three o'clock position. Highly polished hands and hour markers, coated with a luminescent material, provide optimal radiance and readability. Framing the dial is a unidirectional rotating bezel with engraved dive time markers, for safe timing of dives and other limited events. The watch is set in a 27 mm brushed steel case and presents on an elegant and durable brushed steel link bracelet with polished center links. The bracelet fastens with a double safety clasp and features an extension system that allows it to be worn over a diving suit. Other notable features of this watch include a highly scratch-resistant sapphire crystal and a screw-down 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.
