It’s not just the price point that attracts buyers to the Aquaracer. Priced between $2,050-$4,200, the Tag Heuer Aquaracer is a great first watch for collectors getting into the industry or for a gift. The difference in price doesn’t need to be that much – but it is true that Tag Heuer is the type of brand that attracts hardcore watch lovers, and those who don’t know the difference between a mechanical and quartz movement.One of the best entry level luxury dive watches is a Tag Heuer Aquaracer. The automatic versions of the watches are over $600 more than the quartz models. They certainly make you think before getting the model you want. Like most popular Tag Heuer timepieces the watch is available with a Swiss quartz movement or a Swiss ETA automatic movement (Tag Heuer re-brands them to things like the “Calibre 5”). Other models have black or blue bezels, and there is also a silver or orange dialed version. I believe the bezel insert is solid 18k gold. Seen below is the highest end model in the line with the gold toned bezel. I’ve always appreciated how the new line is both aggressive and stylish – as well as durable enough to serious diving needs. I think it is interesting when a company replaces an old model with something else, but still makes the old model. In fact, Tag Heuer still makes both lines, calling the new one the Aquaracer 500m. The new Aquaracer watches look nothing like the previous line, which is a good or bad thing depending on how you see it. Now, after Tag Heuer has penetrated the market with loads of marketing many of us many not yet have seen any of the actual pieces. Ever since the new Calibre 5 movement based Tag Heuer Aquaracer watches came out I knew that they were going to be a big hit.
