The TAG Heuer Aquaracer WBD1112.BA0928 represents Swiss precision engineering at its finest, combining robust dive watch functionality with contemporary design sophistication. This pre-owned timepiece features a striking blue sunray-brushed dial contrasted against a stainless steel case and bracelet, creating a versatile aesthetic that transitions seamlessly from boardroom to beach. The distinctive dodecagon case architecture and unidirectional rotating bezel showcase TAG Heuer's commitment to both form and function, whilst the luminous hour markers and hands ensure optimal legibility in all conditions.
Powered by a reliable Swiss quartz movement, this Aquaracer delivers exceptional accuracy without the maintenance requirements of mechanical calibres. The 41mm case diameter strikes an ideal balance for contemporary wrists, neither too imposing nor too modest, and the robust 300-metre water resistance rating ensures genuine aquatic capability. White-filled hour indices provide striking contrast against the deep blue dial, whilst the date aperture at 3 o'clock adds essential everyday functionality. The engraved numerals on the bezel and the solid screw-down caseback underscore the watch's purpose-built diving heritage.

FAQ
Q: Is this TAG Heuer Aquaracer suitable for actual diving?
A: Absolutely. With 300-metre water resistance, a screw-down crown, solid case back, and unidirectional rotating bezel, this Aquaracer is a genuine ISO-compliant dive instrument. The luminous markers ensure visibility in low-light underwater conditions, and the robust construction can withstand the pressures of recreational diving.
Q: What is the advantage of a quartz movement in a dive watch?
A: Quartz movements offer superior accuracy (typically ±15 seconds per month versus ±5 seconds per day for mechanical), exceptional reliability, and require no manual winding. For diving applications, this means dependable timekeeping without the need for regular servicing intervals associated with automatic movements. Battery life typically extends 2-3 years.
Q: Is the 41mm case size appropriate for smaller wrists?
A: The 41mm diameter is considered a modern sport watch standard that wears comfortably on most wrist sizes. The relatively short lug-to-lug distance and moderate 14mm thickness prevent overhang on smaller wrists, whilst still maintaining commanding presence. We recommend trying it on at our boutique for the perfect fit assessment.
Q: What condition can I expect from this pre-owned timepiece?
A: This pre-owned Aquaracer has been thoroughly inspected and authenticated by our specialists. Whilst it may show minor signs of previous wear consistent with its pre-owned status, it remains in excellent working order with all functions operating correctly. The timepiece has been cleaned and prepared for immediate wear.
Q: Can the bracelet be adjusted to fit my wrist?
A: Yes, the stainless steel bracelet features removable links for precise sizing. Our team at Mall of the South provides complimentary bracelet adjustment with purchase, ensuring an optimal fit. The fold-over clasp also incorporates fine adjustment positions for day-to-day comfort variations.
Q: How often does the battery need replacing?
A: TAG Heuer quartz movements typically provide 2-3 years of battery life under normal use. When replacement becomes necessary, we recommend using our authorised service centre to ensure proper pressure testing and gasket replacement, maintaining the watch's 300-metre water resistance rating.
Q: Does this watch come with original box and papers?
A: Please enquire with our sales team regarding the specific inclusions with this pre-owned timepiece, as these vary by individual watch. We transparently communicate what accompanies each pre-owned item. Regardless of original packaging, the watch's authenticity and functionality are guaranteed.

Care Guide
- Rinse the watch with fresh water after exposure to saltwater, chlorine, or chemicals to prevent corrosion and maintain gasket integrity.
- Ensure the crown is fully screwed down before any water exposure to maintain the 300-metre water resistance rating.
- Avoid operating the crown or bezel whilst underwater, as this compromises water resistance and may allow moisture ingress.
- Have the water resistance tested annually if you regularly use the watch for diving or water sports, as gaskets deteriorate over time.
- Clean the stainless steel case and bracelet periodically with a soft cloth and mild soapy water, paying attention to the spaces between bracelet links where debris accumulates.
- Store the watch away from magnetic fields (speakers, mobile phones, magnetic clasps) which can affect quartz movement accuracy.
- When the battery requires replacement, have this performed by an authorised service centre to ensure proper pressure testing and gasket replacement.
- Avoid extreme temperature fluctuations and prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can affect dial colour and gasket performance.
- Have the watch professionally serviced every 4-5 years to maintain optimal performance, including movement inspection, gasket replacement, and pressure testing.
- Remove the watch during high-impact activities or when handling tools to prevent scratches to the case and crystal.
