The only range in the Quartz model watch cases that is close to the automatic is the 1/10th Chronograph which uses the exact case design and pushers as the Calibre 16 Chronograph. The Quartz model’s case size is 27, 32, 35 and 38.4mm (mostly for the ladies watch), not bad but I prefer the 42mm case which is very peculiar to the automatic models. Also, you will see “300m” printed inside the hour sub-dial right below the hand, and “Swiss Made” at the very bottom centre of the main dial in tiny letters. The TAG Heuer emblem can also be found on the left side of the date space, the “Aquaracer” name above, and “automatic” below, all printed in white on the black dial. The Aquaracer has a date feature that can be spotted at 3-o’clock which has black text on a white background that varies to the major black dial. TAG Heuer Aquaracer 43 Automatic Chronograph Blue Dial The 9-o’clock sub-dial is lightly pushed in to show that it is a sub-dial, but it doesn’t possess the circular aesthetic, which aids the balance of the dial. The innermost part of these sub-dials also has distinctive circular patterns all of this adding intricate details to the dial. The 12-o’clock and 6-o’clock sub-dials have a silver layout lightly pushed into the dial. Its sub-dials are all black with white printed numbers and indices. The Aquaracer automatic model is horizontally-striped and designed in an all-black texture. In 2017, its ‘Sports’ series brought in fashion-driven elements such as vibrant colours and camouflage-pattern dials. The Aquaracer dial comes in various colours such as grey, black, white, silver and blue (with added varieties of deep-sea blue and midnight blue). Though not noted on the dial, most of the models in this range use the Calibre 5 movement (with a few using the Calibre 7 and 16 movements). Unlike its quartz variant, the Aquaracer automatic model still uses the Clous de Paris dial design of the automatic 2000 series. Both men and women can find their choices in the brand’s collection. The premium quality and outstanding designs combined into the watches are striking and cannot be opposed. The TAG Heuer Aquaracer collection speaks for itself. The Aquaracer is modelled after the 2000 series, and it has since been a favourite and one of the most highly purchased among TAG Heuer’s prestigious timepieces. This brand’s line is evidence of the essence and inevitability of time, for more than 40 years, it has been the delight of watersports fanatics. The TAG Heuer Aquaracer is such an example of a bold Swiss-luxury timepiece. A religion that combines the two most basic human necessities – water and time – is one worth sacrificing a wrist and purse for.
