TAG Heuer Aquaracer Collection, which is among the first alternatives to come to mind within the entry and mid-range dive watches since the first day of its introduction, was the guest of our Hands On corner with the  Ref. WAY201B.BA0927 model that attracts attention with its blue dial inspired  by the oceans and sporty rubber strap.

TAG Heuer is a name that is commonly associated with motorsports-inspired models. But when we look at the brand’s recent and current product groups, we also see a number of stylish and successful dive watches. Of course, the first model family that comes to mind is the Aquaracer Collection, which stands out with its wide variety of model alternatives. I am not saying a wide variety just for the sake of conversation as there are 142 different Aquaracer Collection variants available at the brand’s official web site at the moment.

The model I chose for the review, Ref. WAY201B.BA0927, is one of the first models that comes to mind when you think about the Aquaracer Collection.

The model comes in a stainless steel case measuring 43mm in diameter. Distinguished by the thick sporty lug design which highlights the model’s tool watch character, the case is water resistant to 300 meters / 30 bars in line with its name. The case is equipped with a scratch-resistant anti glare coated sapphire crystal on the front face. The classic rider tab style unidirectional dive bezel is present equipped with a modern blue ceramic bezel instead of the old aluminum insert. The case back is solid stainless steel with a beautiful diving-bell illustration engraved and accompanied by a large, easy grip winding crown signed by the brand’s stylish logo.
