Even though TAG Heuer is closely associated with racing sports (as well as Monacos and Carreras), it was equally involved in the invention of a watch capable of withstanding submersion underwater. The Monaco built upon this legacy three decades later by becoming the first square-shaped, water resistant wristwatch. It’s importance was reflected in the development of the first wristwatch chronograph in 1939, which offered this resistance. However, its still remarkable that Heuer realised at such an early stage the significance of this feature. it wasnt designed to be a wristwatch due to its large size (at this time they were more reserved for the ladies). Of course, this watch had its restrictions e.g. Heuer smartly seized the moment and turned in a patent for the first water resistant pocket watch case. At the time, whomever made a discovery had the pleasure of dictating its entire history. Whats incredible, is that Heuer played a big role in it.

Along with multiple chronographs, there are three hand watches in bicolour variations of steel and gold. Next to automatic models (similar to its Formula 1 series), there are also quartz based timepieces. A decade after its launch, the Aquaracer is one of the most popular TAG Heuer collections and encompasses a wide spectrum of different watch types. First appearing in catalogues in 2003, the roots of TAG Heuer in terms of water resistant pocket watches reaches as far back as the late 19th century. The Aquaracer series is much more than just fan service from a chronograph manufacturer on its water sports fans. Aquaracer – The diver watch collection from TAG Heuer
