![]() It is the watch I have worn the most often over the last five years. This was within my budget and it comes with a common movement that most watchmakers will be able to service, which appealed to me. I wanted a classic look and a go anywhere, do anything watch that would work with a suit or shorts. The WAN2110 is a swiss made Calibre 5 auto model, rated to 300m with 41mm steel case, bracelet and sapphire crystal. Little did I know that it would be my gateway drug into the wider world of horology. So what about my TAG Heuer Aquaracer, what’s the spec and why did I buy it? I had a significant birthday coming up, I wanted to get the one watch that I was going to wear for the rest of my life. It has always been intended to be a more affordable dive watch that has a classic aesthetic but it’s approachable and available in a wide range of styles. Critics of the Aquaracer often say that it is a Submariner knockoff or a poor man’s Rolex, this does the Aquaracer a great disservice. Some of the design elements of the modern Aquaracers can still be traced back to those early Heuer 1000 models. This was the first time the Aquaracer name was used and ultimately the launch of an entirely new range of watches. Case: stainless steel Movement: Swiss made automatic calibre 5 TAG Heuer Dial: black Diameter: 41 mm (without crown). Fast forward to 2004 and TAG Heuer launched the 2000 Aquaracer.
