The TAG Heuer Aquaracer WAP1112 represents Swiss precision engineering in a purpose-built dive watch configuration. This pre-owned timepiece features a striking blue sunray-brushed dial housed within a robust 39mm stainless steel case, designed to withstand pressures up to 300 metres. The unidirectional rotating bezel with engraved numerals provides essential elapsed-time tracking for underwater activities, whilst luminescent hour markers and hands ensure legibility in low-light conditions.
At Cassim & Co., we carefully select each piece in our PRE-OWNED watches collection to ensure exceptional condition and authenticity. This Aquaracer is powered by a reliable Swiss quartz movement, delivering accuracy within seconds per month whilst eliminating the need for daily winding. The date window at 3 o'clock adds practical functionality to this sports-oriented timepiece, whilst the solid stainless steel bracelet with brushed and polished links provides both comfort and durability.
The Aquaracer line has maintained its reputation as a serious tool watch since its introduction, appealing to divers and sports enthusiasts who demand reliability in challenging environments. The 39mm case diameter offers versatile wrist presence suitable for both active pursuits and everyday wear, whilst the screw-down crown ensures water-resistance integrity remains uncompromised. Visit us at our Mall of the South boutique to experience the build quality and wrist presence of this Swiss-made sports watch in person.
This pre-owned example has been comprehensively inspected to verify its mechanical functionality and cosmetic condition. Should you require future maintenance, our watch servicing and repairs team can assist with battery replacements, bracelet sizing, and general servicing to ensure your Aquaracer continues to perform to its original specifications for years to come.

FAQ
Q: Is this TAG Heuer Aquaracer suitable for diving?
A: Yes, with a water resistance rating of 300 metres and a unidirectional rotating bezel, this Aquaracer is fully capable of recreational diving activities. The screw-down crown and robust case construction ensure water-resistance integrity is maintained during underwater use.
Q: What is the advantage of a quartz movement in a dive watch?
A: Swiss quartz movements offer exceptional accuracy (within seconds per month), require no daily winding, and are highly shock-resistant. For active sports use, quartz provides reliable timekeeping without the maintenance intervals required by mechanical movements, making it ideal for dive watches that must perform consistently in challenging conditions.
Q: How often does the battery need replacement?
A: TAG Heuer quartz movements typically operate for 2-3 years on a single battery, depending on usage. When replacement is needed, our watch servicing team can perform this service using genuine components to ensure continued water resistance and performance.
Q: Can the bracelet be adjusted to fit my wrist?
A: Yes, the stainless steel bracelet can be professionally sized at our Mall of the South boutique. We offer complimentary bracelet adjustment with purchase to ensure a perfect fit on your wrist.
Q: What does 'pre-owned' mean for this watch?
A: This timepiece has been previously owned but has undergone comprehensive inspection to verify its mechanical functionality and cosmetic condition. Pre-owned watches offer exceptional value whilst maintaining the quality and performance expected from Swiss watchmaking.
Q: Is the blue dial visible in low light?
A: Yes, the hour markers and hands feature luminescent material that charges in ambient light and glows in darkness, ensuring legibility during night dives or low-light conditions.
Q: What is the purpose of the unidirectional bezel?
A: The unidirectional rotating bezel allows divers to track elapsed time underwater. It rotates only counter-clockwise as a safety feature—if accidentally moved during a dive, it will only overestimate (rather than underestimate) the time spent underwater, ensuring adequate air supply reserves.

Care Guide
- Water Resistance Maintenance: Have the water resistance tested annually, especially if the watch is regularly used for diving or water sports. Gaskets and seals can degrade over time and should be replaced during servicing.
- After Saltwater Exposure: Rinse the watch thoroughly with fresh water after exposure to saltwater or chlorinated pools. Dry with a soft cloth to prevent mineral deposits and corrosion.
- Crown Care: Ensure the screw-down crown is fully tightened before any water exposure. Never operate the crown or bezel whilst the watch is underwater.
- Bracelet Cleaning: Clean the stainless steel bracelet periodically with a soft brush, mild soap, and warm water to remove dirt and oils that accumulate between links. Dry thoroughly afterwards.
- Shock Protection: Whilst built for sports use, avoid severe impacts that could affect the movement or case integrity. Remove the watch during activities involving heavy machinery or extreme contact sports.
- Storage: When not in use, store your Aquaracer in a cool, dry place away from magnetic fields, extreme temperatures, and direct sunlight.
- Sapphire Crystal Care: The sapphire crystal is highly scratch-resistant but not shatterproof. Avoid impacts against hard surfaces such as concrete or stone.
- Battery Replacement: When the watch stops or the seconds hand begins jumping in intervals, have the battery replaced promptly by a qualified watchmaker to prevent potential leakage damage to the movement.
- Professional Servicing: We recommend a complete service every 4-5 years to ensure optimal performance, including movement cleaning, lubrication, and gasket replacement.
