For more than 165 years, TAG Heuer has built its reputation on a relentless pursuit of innovation. Founded in 1860 by Edouard Heuer in Switzerland, the Maison has consistently pushed the boundaries of watchmaking, from pioneering chronograph technologies to introducing some of the industry’s most iconic sports watches. Among them is the Aquaracer, a collection whose roots trace back to the Heuer Reference 844 launched in 1978 and later evolved into the Aquaracer line in 2004, becoming synonymous with performance, reliability, and adventure.

 

Today, TAG Heuer ushers the collection into a new era with the unveiling of the latest Aquaracer Professional Solargraph range. The redesign reflects the brand’s ambition to combine sustainable innovation with contemporary luxury, enhancing both aesthetics and functionality while preserving the Aquaracer’s adventurous DNA. Powered by light, the new generation transforms natural and artificial light into energy, eliminating the need for conventional battery changes while conveniently delivering long-lasting autonomy.

The collection is divided into two families: the Aquaracer Professional 100 Solargraph 28 mm and the Aquaracer Professional 200 Solargraph 40 mm. Although distinct in character, both share TAG Heuer’s Solargraph technology, sapphire crystal, robust construction, and a design language that balances elegance with outdoor capability.

 

The Aquaracer Professional 100 Solargraph 28 mm introduces a refined and feminine interpretation of the collection. Available in four versions, all models are powered by the Calibre TH51-00 Solargraph movement, offering up to eight months of power reserve on a full charge. Each watch features a 28 mm steel case, a fixed bezel, 100-metre water resistance, and a three-row steel bracelet with a folding clasp. It is a perfect medium-sized watch that maintains the understated elegance synonymous with the Aquaracer.

The lineup begins with a black sunray-brushed dial and a blue sunray-brushed dial, both accented by 12 diamond-set hour markers for a sophisticated yet contemporary appearance. The third version elevates the design further with a white mother-of-pearl dial and diamond indexes, creating a luminous and elegant aesthetic. At the top of the range sits the most luxurious interpretation, pairing a white mother-of-pearl dial with yellow gold-plated hands and indexes, while the bezel is adorned with 36 diamonds, adding a distinct jewellery-inspired dimension to the sporty silhouette.

 

The Aquaracer Professional 200 Solargraph 40 mm, on the other hand, takes a more technical and adventurous approach. Reimagined from the ground up, it features a newly sculpted unidirectional bezel, redesigned hands, sharper case geometry, and an interchangeable bracelet system for greater versatility. Powered by the Calibre TH50-00 Solargraph movement, the watch can deliver up to 10 months of autonomy when fully charged, while just 10 minutes of light exposure provides enough energy for approximately 40 hours of operation. All four models feature a 40 mm case, a date display at 3 o’clock, luminous hands and indexes, and water resistance of up to 200 metres.

 

The Aquaracer Professional 200 Solargraph 40 mm is also available with a blue sunray-brushed dial

Two stainless steel versions are offered with blue and green sunray-brushed dials, distinguished by horizontal textures that enhance depth and legibility. For those seeking a more technical aesthetic, TAG Heuer introduces a model crafted from Grade 2 titanium with a Grade 5 titanium bezel, paired with a black dial highlighted by striking aqua blue accents. Completing the collection is a refined Grade 5 titanium version featuring a grey dial enriched with rose gold details, combining lightweight performance with understated luxury. The interplay of matt titanium and glowing Super-LumiNova® details highlights the watch’s functional roots while maintaining tactile elegance and a sense of rugged adventure. 

 

With the new Aquaracer Professional Solargraph collection, TAG Heuer demonstrates that innovation and elegance can move in perfect harmony. Whether expressed through the refined 28 mm models or the adventure-ready 40 mm references, the collection captures the spirit of modern exploration—powered by light and designed for every journey.
