Created with professional divers in mind--thanks to its water resistance to 500 meters (1,640 feet)--the high-tech TAG Heuer Aquagraph Swiss automatic chronograph (model CN211A.FT8001) from TAG Heuer was designed as a constant point of reference, the last operational indicator when all other instruments have stopped. It includes an autolock turning bezel, oversized chronograph minute hand, screw-in crown security indicator, and an automatic helium valve. The large stainless steel watch case measures 42mm wide (1.65 inches) and it's matched to a sporty black rubber strap. The black dial includes three tonal chrono subdials, luminous dotted hour markers, and luminous baton hands. Other features include a TAG Heuer Caliber 60 automatic movement and an anti-reflective scratch-resistant sapphire crystal.
About TAG Heuer
TAG Heuer traces its roots to the small Swiss village of St-Imier where, in 1860, a watchmaker named Edouard Heuer opened his first shop. His vision was to create remarkable timepieces that pushed the envelope of innovation and precision. The company's reputation grew, and Heuer's first patent for a chronograph mechanism in 1882 was followed by a long list of achievements: the first stopwatch accurate to 1/100 of a second, the first dashboard stopwatch for race cars, the first miniature electronic timekeeping device accurate to 1/1000th of a second, and the first automatic movement with a microrotor, to name just a few.
Over the years, Heuer's reputation for gold-standard precision earned the company the privilege of providing official timing services for a number of world-class competitive sporting events, including the Olympic Games, the FIS Ski World Cup, and the FIA Formula 1 World Championships. To this day, TAG Heuer maintains a close association with the world of competitive sports and enjoys a devoted following among sports celebrities and enthusiasts. In 1985, Heuer joined the TAG (Techniques D'Avant-Garde) group, and the TAG Heuer name and logo were created. Now one of the most recognized and sought-after watch brands in the world, TAG Heuer continues its reputation of innovative design and technological excellence, creating prestigious timepieces that are always at the cutting edge of precision, reliability and style.
