Unrivaled Quality, Resistance, and Performance

TAG Heuer pioneered a new category of high-performance, all-purpose watches that could be relied upon in any situation or extreme condition: the "Aquaracer." Its history began in 1978 with the release of the "Heuer Ref. 844," aimed at adventure enthusiasts. The collection, which was born as a new series in 2004, inherits the six traditional features: a unidirectional rotating bezel, a screw-down crown, water resistance to 200 meters or more, luminous indices, a sapphire crystal, and a double safety clasp.

The Aquaracer's philosophy of boldly and actively integrating with nature is about being subtly elegant yet always in perfect harmony with the forces of nature. Then, in March 2022, the "TAG Heuer Aquaracer Professional 200 Solargraph" was born, featuring the brand's first-ever solar-powered movement. It is truly a model that embodies the Aquaracer's philosophy.

This year, 2023, TAG Heuer releases the titanium "TAG Heuer Aquaracer Professional 200 Solargraph" with a bold, metallic design. It is touted as the ultimate partner, engineered for comfort, robustness, and durability.

The energy source for TAG Heuer's Solargraph movement is the sun. Watches equipped with the Solargraph movement can be charged by sunlight or artificial light, eliminating concerns about battery depletion. The absence of battery replacements is also a reassuring feature.

Remarkably, just two minutes of direct sunlight can provide a full day's charge. A full charge is achieved after approximately 20 hours of sun exposure, allowing the watch to run for up to six months without light. If the watch stops, a mere 10 seconds of light exposure is enough to restart it. This is truly the power of highly efficient charging.

The "TAG Heuer Aquaracer Professional 200 Solargraph" is scheduled for release in February 2023 at TAG Heuer boutiques and official online boutiques worldwide.
