TAG Heuer Aquaracer Professional 300 Calibre 5 automatic 43 mm Full Set 2021

The Aquaracer Collection

The story of the TAG Heuer Aquaracer began in the early 1980s, when Heuer introduced the 2000 Series, a collection of diving watches designed to deliver robustness, precision, and versatility. At a time when sports watches were enjoying tremendous popularity, the collection quickly established itself thanks to its functional design, exceptional legibility, and water resistance suited to aquatic activities. It laid the foundations for a new generation of tool watches, capable of accompanying both professional divers and enthusiasts of sporty timepieces.

In 2004, TAG Heuer evolved this iconic collection by giving it a new name: Aquaracer. More than a simple rebranding, this marked the birth of a distinct identity built around six essential features: a unidirectional rotating bezel, a screw-down crown, high water resistance, an anti-reflective sapphire crystal, luminous hour markers, and a secure clasp designed for the most demanding conditions. Since then, the Aquaracer has continuously evolved alongside the Manufacture's technical innovations while remaining true to the DNA that made it such a success.

In 2015, TAG Heuer introduced a new generation of the Aquaracer 300, from which this reference WAY201A.BA0927 originates. While preserving the collection's identity, the brand significantly refined its design with the addition of a scratch-resistant ceramic bezel, a redesigned dial featuring updated hands and indexes, and a more assertive case profile. These enhancements reinforced the watch's sporty character while improving both its durability and its wrist presence.

Today, the Aquaracer Professional 300 stands as one of TAG Heuer's most emblematic collections. A perfect synthesis of sporting heritage, watchmaking innovation, and everyday versatility, it appeals equally to diving enthusiasts and collectors seeking a robust, reliable, and elegant timepiece capable of adapting to every situation.

The Watch

At first glance, this TAG Heuer Aquaracer Professional 300 immediately asserts itself as a true professional dive watch. Its 43 mm stainless steel case offers the ideal balance between wrist presence, comfort, and durability. Alternating satin-brushed and polished finishes enhance the collection's distinctive angular lines while ensuring excellent resistance to the demands of everyday wear.

One of the defining features of this generation is its black ceramic unidirectional rotating bezel, representing a significant upgrade over previous models. Highly resistant to scratches, it retains its deep colour and refined finish over time, while its twelve distinctive facets provide outstanding grip, even when operated with diving gloves. Its precise action reflects the meticulous engineering that TAG Heuer has devoted to this genuine professional tool watch.

The black dial is clean, perfectly balanced, and designed for optimum legibility. Large applied hour markers and hands are generously coated with Super-LumiNova®, ensuring excellent readability in all lighting conditions. The date window, enhanced by a Cyclops magnifier at 3 o'clock, integrates seamlessly into the dial without disturbing its harmonious design.

Powering the watch is the Calibre 5 automatic movement, renowned for its reliability, robustness, and ease of maintenance. Providing central hours, minutes, seconds, and a date display, it perfectly fulfils the expectations of a sports watch built for everyday use. Its proven construction makes it an ideal choice for enthusiasts seeking a dependable Swiss automatic movement with long-term reliability.

Water-resistant to 300 metres, equipped with a screw-down crown and a stainless steel bracelet fitted with a folding clasp, this Aquaracer Professional 300 meets every requirement expected of a true Swiss diving watch.
