Designed specifically for diving, the Aquaracer from TAG Heuer combines precise timekeeping technology with sporty, prestige styling. The round blue dial sports a full-color TAG Heuer logo and an automatic date calendar at the 4:30 position. It features three silver subdials displaying 1/10 second, small seconds, and 30-minute registers. Luminous hands and hour markers and a red chronograph minute hand with an arrow tip are all designed for optimal radiance and readability. The dial is framed by a unidirectional rotating bezel with an Arabic numeral scale for timing dives and other limited events. Set in a 42 mm brushed steel case, this watch presents on a handsome and durable steel link bracelet with brushed and polished pieces. The bracelet features an extension system for divers and fastens with a fold over with safety. Other notable features of this watch include precise Swiss quartz movement, a 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..
