 TAG Heuer traces its roots to the small Swiss village of St-Imier where, in 1860, a watchmaker named 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.

Over the years, 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, creating prestigious timepieces that are always at the cutting edge of precision, reliability and style.
The TAG Heuer Aquaracer 500M Calibre Diver mens watch is one of Tag’s latest releases, taking some similarities from the SLR. This dive watch features is a water resistance of of 500M, with a helium escape valve at the 10 o’clock position, and a brushed stainless steel case. Using Tag’s Calibre 5 automatic movement built of off an ETA 2836-2, also available in quartz. Most noticeably, the date window is located at the 9 o’clock position rather than the more traditional 3-4 o’clock positioning, which has a cyclops date magnifier. This is one of those watches that is much better in person. It has the usual TAG Heuer quality you would expect, with a fresh design.
