The Grande Date Aquaracer is another exciting timepiece from Tag Heuer with measurements accurate to the nearest 1/10th of a second. This watch is ideal for sports enthusiasts and athletes but maintains a wealth of sophistication that any man would feel confident wearing.
The Aquaracer is a luxury timepiece designed for professional divers, by professional divers. It has been rigorously tested and held to world renowned Swiss watchmaking standards. The “Swiss Made” logo appears in small lettering at the bottom of the dial, assuring that the majority of the watch was manufactured and assembled in Switzerland.
Although there are many striking features on this watch, several characteristics should be noted. The timepiece has:
- Three chronographs on the dial
- Unidirectional turning bezel
- Oversize screw in crown with double gaskets
The three chronographs give you incredible precision when timing an event or using this watch for sporting. They can measure up to 12 hours of elapsed time accurate to the nearest 1/10th of a second. They provide simple and additional time measurement, so you will never have to worry about being late on account of your watch.
The unidirectional turning bezel is also convenient for timing sporting events and dive trips. It is unidirectional as it only turns to the right, and in order to return the bezel to neutral it must be turned all the way to the right. The unidirectional action is a safety precaution specially included for divers. When you are deep sea diving, your bezel will not be affected by an accidental nudge or push to the left. Therefore, your watch will never erroneously indicate that there is more time remaining than you truly have, ensuring that you will not run out of oxygen underwater.
Finally, this Aquaracer features an oversize screw in crown with double gaskets. These features ensure safe underwater use and promote a long lifetime for your watch. The screw in crown is an crucial feature for any underwater watch, and the piece is easy to hold. It is water resistant to 300 meters or 984 feet. After wearing this watch in the shower or underwater, it is recommended that you pat it dry with a soft towel. This simple action will help the stainless steel strap to prevent rust and aging.
While this watch has many beneficial features for divers, it is also a durable, classy timepiece which could be worn at any occasion. The silver bracelet and case allow this watch to appear at once valuable and sophisticated. It also boasts a sapphire crystal face coated with a layer of anti-reflective treatment to aid the watch’s readability. The stainless steel Aquaracer from Tag Heuer is another quality timepiece from a trusted and revered designer brand.
