The Legacy of TAG Heuer Aquaracer Watches
The Aquaracer timepiece was officially added to TAG Heuer’s catalog in 2004, but its origins can be traced back several decades earlier. In the late 1970s, the Heuer watchmaking company began experimenting with dive watches. This was about a decade before the company was acquired by TAG.
The goal was to create good, solid, and affordable tool watches that could substitute for professional dive watches, such as the Rolex Submariner. This resulted in the creation of the Ref 844 in 1978. It was followed by the release of the 1000 series dive watches, then the 2000 series in the 1980s. Even after TAG (Techniques d'Avant Garde) acquired Heuer in 1985, the rebranded company continued to create dive watches.
Although TAG Heuer released several other watches for its dive watch category, the 2000 Series was one of the few models to survive into the early 2000s. In 2005, all TAG Heuer’s dive watches were officially relaunched as the Aquaracer. The new collection featured significant upgrades, including increased water resistance, a colorful aluminum bezel, and other aesthetic improvements that made the watch even more distinct.
The Aquaracer collection has evolved rapidly into a comprehensive family, featuring a wide range of automatic and quartz-powered diving watches. The first model with an in-house quartz-powered movement was introduced in 2006. A new generation of Aquaracer watches, featuring significant aesthetic refinements, was introduced in the mid-2010s.
How Much Does a TAG Heuer Aquaracer Cost?
TAG Heuer’s goal for venturing into the dive watch category was to create Swiss-quality luxury dive watches at the most affordable prices. The Aquaracer has achieved just that, offering watches that cost just a few thousand dollars in the retail and secondary markets, while delivering the same level of precision and performance as more expensive professional dive watches.
Retail Cost
The average retail price of a TAG Heuer Aquaracer ranges from approximately $3,000 to $7,000. Quartz-powered models, such as the 27mm or 32mm Aquaracer Date, are generally the least expensive, with a price range of approximately $2,800 to $3,200. On the other end of the spectrum is the Aquaracer Professional 1000 Superdiver, which retails for approximately $7,000.
How Much Does a Pre-Owned TAG Heuer Aquaracer Watch Cost
In the secondary market, you can buy a TAG Heuer Aquaracer for as low as $1,230. With this budget, you should be able to get one of the older quartz-powered ladies’ watches in this collection. A men’s version of this watch, dating back to 2011, will also cost approximately $1,700 on the secondary market.
The current collection's Aquaracer time-only or Date watches cost approximately $3,530 from secondary sellers. However, if you want a version of this watch with complications, such as the GMT function, you can expect to pay approximately $4,000 to acquire it. At the top of the price spectrum is the Aquaracer Professional 200 model with an 18k gold casing. These models can sell for as high as $15,700 on the secondary market.
Key Features of TAG Heuer Aquaracer Watches
Durable Build
Thanks to their excellent build quality, TAG Heuer Aquaracer watches are designed to last for years. They are designed specifically for watersports enthusiasts or professional divers needing a rugged watch that can withstand the challenges of various water-based activities.
Unidirectional Bezel
Like many other standard dive watches, the timepieces in the Aquaracer collection are equipped with a unidirectional rotating bezel. This functional feature is useful for divers who need to time their underwater dives with great precision.
Water Resistance
Most Aquaracer models deliver a water resistance of up to 300 meters. While a few models are above this depth rating, this is the average rating for most models. This depth rating is on par with what you get from many professional dive watches. The Aquaracer features a screw-down crown and caseback to maintain a water-tight seal, protecting the movement. This provides peace of mind during underwater exploration.
Complications
The current Aquaracer collection has a few models with complications. Specifically, some of the TAG Heuer watches in this collection feature a chronograph and a GMT function, adding even more utility to them beyond that of regular dive watches. The chronograph versions of this watch include the hybrid ana-digi Chronotimer model. The GMT models are also characterized by a classic red and blue bezel (similar to Rolex’s Pepsi bezel). The GMT watches can track the time in two time zones simultaneously.
