 +**Aquaracer** is a [[dive watch]] series by [[TAG Heuer]]
 +
 +==== The history of diving and sailing watches from TAG Heuer ====
 +Since [[1895]] TAG Heuer (at that time Heuer) maintains the tradition of diving sailing and watches. Because at that time they launched the world's first [[pocket watch]] with waterproof case. In [[1939]] followed the first waterproof wrist [[chronograph]]. In 1942 with the //Yachting Timer// followed a [[regatta]] [[stopwatch]]. Such watches have a backwards counter ([[countdown]] function) which counts down the last 15 or 10 minutes before the start (with 15 min mostly illustrated in three different colors green, blue and red).
 +
 +With the [[Heuer Solunar]] in [[1949]] appeared the world's first wristwatch with tide indication. It was followed in the next year by the [[Heuer Mareograph-Seafarer]], the world's first chronograph with tide and regatta indication counter. The [[Heuer Skipper]], today also a highly prized rarity, sought after by watch collectors, also offered a regatta counter in [[1968]] and was launched as a [[chronograph]] version in [[1972]].
 +
 +The professional Series 2000, designed by [[Jack W. Heuer]] and produced from [[1982]], with its [[screw-in crown]] guaranteed a [[water resistance]] up to 300 meters and had the [[turning bezel]] obligatory for diving watches.
 +
 +==== Aquagraph and Aquaracer ====
 +With the [[2002]] presented [[TAG Heuer Aquagraph|Aquagraph]], which had been tested and used at the US Navy unit Navy Seals, one ventured into the new dimension of depths of 50 atm - which was all the more remarkable because it was a chronograph, where in addition to glass, caseback and crown also the two chrono pushers had to be secured against the load that exists in these depths. The pressure is here already as high as an amazing thousand kilos per cubic meter.
 +
 +The series //Aquaracer// was first presented in [[2003]] and since then has been maintained as a professional, but at the same time visually very attractive diving watch series of the brand. It includes an entire collection of modern diving watches and dive [[chronograph]]s that are not only extremely functional, but also set new standards in design and appearance.
 +
 +The [[2009]] launched model [[TAG Heuer Aquaracer 500M Calibre 5|Aquaracer 500M]] is, as the name suggests, [[waterproof]] to 50 atm. It was complemented in [[2010]] by the chronograph version [[TAG Heuer Aquaracer 500M Automatic Chronograph|Aquaracer 500M Automatic Chronograph]] and added by a model all in black.
 +
 +With some models, the electro-mechanical [[chronograph]] movement [[TAG Heuer Calibre S]] is employed, which interconnects mechanical and [[quartz]] technology. It can measure and indicate hundredths of a second. The Calibre S consists of 230 components and 5 bidirectional micromotors. The indication is running either in the watch or in the chrono mode.
 +
 +In the other models calibres on solid [[ETA]] basis are installed.
