Stepping up in TAG Heuer's range

Price range £1,330 to £11,950 across 12 TAG Heuer watches in stock.

The Aquaracer Professional 200 was relaunched in 2021 as a thorough rethink of TAG Heuer's core sports watch — slimmer, more wearable, and in cases like this one, more decorative than the line had previously allowed itself to be. The bi-colour pairing here is deliberate: a bare steel case set against an 18-carat 3N solid yellow gold unidirectional bezel and matching screw-down crown, a combination that reads as dressed-up without abandoning the functional logic of a proper dive watch. At 11.6mm thick with a 46.7mm lug-to-lug, it is notably flat for a 200m-rated watch, and it wears more like a daily piece than a dedicated diver — suited under a cuff in a way that most watches of this rating are not. The smoky blue sunray dial deepens toward the edges, which plays well against the gold indices and hands, shifting from grey-blue in shade to something considerably richer in direct light. The rubber strap includes a comfort extension built into the folding clasp, so fit adjusts without tools — a small detail, but the kind that matters when the watch is worn through temperature changes or extended activity. The Calibre 5 underneath is a proven Swiss automatic, unheroic in its origins but well-regarded for reliability and straightforward servicing wherever in the world that need arises.

Learn more about TAG Heuer

Edouard Heuer founded his workshop in Saint-Imier in 1860 at the age of twenty, and the company he built became the definitive maker of things that measure short intervals.

The patents came early and mattered. The oscillating pinion of 1887 remains in use in mechanical chronographs today — an elegantly simple way of engaging the chronograph train that most manufacturers still prefer to the column wheel alternative. The Mikrograph of 1916 measured to a hundredth of a second, decades ahead of anything comparable.

Heuer's association with motorsport ran deeper than sponsorship. It supplied dashboard timers to rally and racing teams for decades, and the wrist chronographs of the 1960s were named accordingly: Carrera, for the Carrera Panamericana; Monaco, for the Grand Prix; Autavia, from automobile and aviation. The Monaco of 1969 — square, water-resistant, and worn by Steve McQueen in Le Mans — housed the Calibre 11, one of the first automatic chronograph movements.

The quartz crisis hit hard. TAG, the Techniques d'Avant Garde group, bought the company in 1985, giving the current name. LVMH acquired it in 1999.

The modern house has pursued high-frequency timing seriously, producing concept movements measuring to a thousandth and a five-thousandth of a second, alongside the volume Carrera, Aquaracer, and Formula 1 lines.

Frequently asked questions, and things you should know about this watch

Can I swim with it?

Yes. At 200m it is rated for swimming, snorkelling and recreational diving.

Will the glass scratch?

Unlikely. Sapphire is second only to diamond in hardness and shrugs off everyday marking.

Does it need a battery?

No. It is automatic — the motion of your wrist winds it, and there is no cell to replace.

How long does it run for when it's not worn?

About 38 hours fully wound — so it will usually stop if you leave it off overnight.

What size strap does it take?

19.5mm. Any strap of that width will fit, and on most modern watches quick-release bars make the swap a two-minute job with no tools.

Will it fit my wrist?

Lug-to-lug is 46.7mm, which suits wrists from roughly 16cm (6¼ inches) upward.

Lug-to-lug decides fit more than case diameter does.

Is it a men's or women's watch?

Listed as men's, though at 40mm it sits in the range that suits anyone.
