La collection Aquaracer de TAG Heuer est dédiée aux amateurs de plongée et d’aventure. Lancée en 1983, cette ligne emblématique célèbre l’univers aquatique avec des montres conçues pour résister aux environnements marins les plus exigeants. Alliant robustesse et élégance, l’Aquaracer est le compagnon idéal pour l’exploration sous-marine.
Avec son boîtier étanche jusqu’à 300 mètres, sa lunette unidirectionnelle et ses cadrans luminescents, la Aquaracer offre une lisibilité optimale et une résistance exceptionnelle. Fabriquée en acier inoxydable ou en titane, cette collection combine performance technique et esthétique moderne, idéale pour les passionnés d’activités nautiques.
La Aquaracer s’adresse aux amateurs de plongée, mais aussi à ceux qui recherchent une montre polyvalente et élégante. Que ce soit pour l’aventure ou le quotidien, elle incarne un équilibre parfait entre fonctionnalité et style.
Équipée des calibres automatiques ou quartz de haute précision, la Aquaracer témoigne du savoir-faire horloger de TAG Heuer. Ses matériaux durables et son design innovant garantissent une montre fiable et performante, adaptée aux environnements les plus exigeants.
La nouvelle Aquaracer 200 et ses 40 mm de diamètre marquent de bons points. Pour en venir aux changements esthétiques, ils ne sont pas nombreux mais visibles ! On remarque, par rapport à la TAG Aquaracer de 2021, que l’insert de céramique a fait ses adieux pour être remplacé par une lunette en acier où les repères ont été gravés puis peints en noir.

Vous remarquerez également que les versions automatiques sont dotées d’une fenêtre de date à six heures, contrairement aux modèles à quartz. À l’intérieur des versions automatiques bat toujours le calibre 5 qui se fonde aujourd’hui sur une base Sellita.
TAG Heuer goes beyond the edge with the Aquaracer Professional 300, a luxury tool watch that connects us to the seas and continues a legacy that began more than 40 years ago. The new-generation model is called the Aquaracer Professional 300. Bold and yet elegant, highly functional and yet versatile, it’s a highly robust watch with a luxury feel that goes beyond the edge and sets a new high-water mark: for ergonomic, extreme-performance mechanical watches.
That legacy began with the Heuer Ref. 844, a divers’ watch released in 1978. It had a memorable dial design with a red 24-hour scale, prominent lume-filled hour markers and a rotating divers’ bezel with a crystal-clear minutes scale for safely timing dives.
Frédéric Arnault, TAG Heuer CEO, said: “The Aquaracer Professional 300 picks up a much-loved story and moves it on with the most significant step we’ve taken to develop our Aquaracer collection in many years. Pushing the limits, high functionality, a bold and unmistakable aesthetic, and the promise of going with you, even to the extremes - the Aquaracer Professional 300 is a watch that will take you beyond the edge.
For the Aquaracer Professional 300 launch collection, TAG Heuer’s designers worked with a clear concept - to create a bold, high-performance, ergonomic watch for divers that was distinctively TAG Heuer. This meant working with the Aquaracer collection’s six signature features and updating and upgrading them.

Since 1983, the collection has always offered a unidirectional rotating bezel, a screw-down crown, water resistance to at least 200 metres, luminous markings, a sapphire glass and a double safety clasp - real-world functions that divers know to rely on in the deep.
The designers kept the basic form and evolved it, integrating a scratch-resistant ceramic insert across the collection and fluting each of the 12 facets so the bezel would be easy to grip and turn, no matter which facets the wearer is holding.
They also went under the skin, re-engineering the bezel’s internal tooth profile so that the rotating mechanism becomes smoother, quieter and easier to set. They also upgraded the sapphire glass, integrating a magnifier over the date at 6 o’clock into the underside of the glass so that the surface is smooth to the touch.
During the conceptual phase, TAG Heuer’s designers also recognised that, as well as being a reliable instrument, the Aquaracer Professional 300 needed to be adaptable to multiple environments. With this in mind, they evolved the Aquaracer’s overall form to be thinner and lighter.
The case, bezel and metal bracelet have all been slimmed down, without compromising the watch’s core performance features, such as water-resistance to 300 metres (30 bar), while also improving durability.

The new watch’s lugs are now shorter, while the case edge has been chamfered and polished to give more harmony to the watch’s visual impact and add refinement. To complete the Aquaracer Professional 300’s look and feel, the designers returned to the famous scaphander diving suit that first appeared on the Aquaracer case back in 2004.
As a result of these technical and aesthetic upgrades, the new Aquaracer Professional 300 is both a nod to the past and a contemporary design ready for the future - in fact, it’s ready for anything.
At launch, there will be seven references in two sizes in the core collection. Four references will have a 43 mm case diameter, and three will feature a case measuring 36 mm. Each has a uni-directional rotating divers’ bezel with a ceramic insert and an engraved minutes scale.
Six of these will be in stainless steel, with the choice of black, blue or silver dials. There will also be a 43 mm piece in high-tech matte Grade 2 titanium with a green dial.
Each reference features a new integrated metal bracelet design, equipped with a highly sophisticated fine adjustment system that can extend or reduce the bracelet length by up to 1.5 cm.
TAG Heuer is also introducing a highly collectible limited-edition version of the Aquaracer Professional 300 at launch to both complement the core collection and salute the design’s wonderful heritage. It’s called the Aquaracer Professional 300 Tribute to Ref. 844, and, as the name suggests, it picks up on the story of the fabled Ref. 844 divers’ watch, introduced in 1978.
Only 844 examples of the Aquaracer Professional 300 Tribute to Ref. 844 will be made.
All eight references in the new Aquaracer Professional 300 collection are powered by TAG Heuer’s Calibre 5, an ultra-reliable Swiss-made, automatic mechanical movement that drives hour, minute and seconds hands and a date, which is now positioned at 6 o’clock, in keeping with the design codes of the new generation of TAG Heuer watches.
The introduction of the Aquaracer Professional 300 collection marks a new chapter in TAG Heuer’s luxury tool watch story. Bold, refined, high-performing - these are watches for a new generation of divers, adventurers and urban explorers who want to go beyond the edge and push their limits, bringing them to the place where they find themselves.
