The Swiss brand patented its first water-resistant case in 1895 and launched its first water-resistant wrist chronograph in 1939. In 1942, it presented its first regatta stopwatch, the YACHTING timer. The Heuer SOLUNAR (1949) was the world\u2019s first watch with tide indicator, and the MAREOGRAPH-SEAFARER (1950) was the first chronograph with a tide level indicator and regatta dial counter on a sub-counter. \u00a0<br \/>In 1968, it began outfitting boats with the NAVIA, a water-resistant instrument for boat dashboards.

A professional diving chronograph with patented auto-lock turning bezel and optimized underwater readability, it was rigorously tested \u2014 and fully approved and endorsed \u2014 by the Navy SEALs, the Special Operation Forces of the United States Navy. <br \/>In 2003, TAG Heuer turned the 2000 Series into the AQUARACER, a versatile and sophisticated reinterpretation of the 2000 series, faithful to its technical and design codes, but with a higher-end finish and the luxury spirit of a stylish accessory. <br \/>In 2007, TAG Heuer brought out the AQUARACER CALIBRE S CHRONOGRAPH, the world\u2019s first electro-mechanical movement with regatta mode \u2014 a unique, backwards-turning hand for regatta countdown. <br \/>In 2009, it launched its most charismatic collection of water sports-inspired watches yet:\u00a0 the AQUARACER 500M.

MAKING WAVES WATER - TAG HEUER’S DEEPEST DESIGN SOURCE
The Swiss brand’s constant search for better performance in and on the water has led to some of its greatest luxury design achievements, including this year’s new AQUARACER 500M Chronograph and AQUARACER 500M Full Black
