TAG Heuer Aquaracer: From Early Dive Watches to Modern Innovation
TAG Heuer’s dive-watch story began in 1978 with the ref. 844, developed to meet demand for sturdy, affordable underwater watches. The 1000, 2000, and 3000 Series followed, with the 1000 emphasizing professional diving specifications, the 2000 broadening the collection’s styles and sizes, and the 3000 offering a more premium look. In the 1990s, the 1500, 4000, and 6000 Series expanded the range before the 2000 became the longest-lived line. The Aquaracer name emerged on the 2000 Series in the early 2000s and became the collection’s sole identity in 2005. Since then, the range has grown to include varied movements, sizes, chronographs, GMTs, and deep-diving models. Recent designs pair modern features with references to the collection’s heritage, including tributes to the ref. 844 and Night Diver, the 1,000-metre Superdiver, and the solar-powered Aquaracer 200 Solargraph.
