White dial, orange details: perfect combo 🧡

I have this watch but the blue 43mm automatic one and I can't stop look at it, it is such a underrated watch and the quality is just outstanding, you can feel the luxury on wrist, such a cool looking watch

Excellent watch. I’ve had an aquaracer for about 12 years and it’s been perfect. Well made and super comfortable. I’ve never had any issues with a Tag and I’ve got 4 of them.

Thank you Mr. Larson your comments helped me decide to go with TAG

Just grabbed this and absolutely love it! Fortunately found it in stock from Tag directly.

Rob, I own the white dial automatic in 41mm. It is absolutely fantastic. The differences are a magnified date window (which my 51 year old eyes enjoy), a horizontal striped, textured dial and of course the movement. I bought mine from an AD (too many fakes out there) for only $1,498.00. I'm certain the quartz could be purchased for way less. Mine keeps excellent time and the power reserve seems spot on at 36-38 hours. In my opinion, there are just too many Tag haters out there.

Love the white dial

My first luxury watch was a Tag Heuer quartz diver, white dial, black bezel. I got when I was on one of my trips to Hong Kong back in 1995. I forget what size it was.. I think no larger than 37mm or 38mm. It was my only watch pretty much for 12 years straight. I am still sad I somehow somewhere lost the watch after I moved into a new home in 2007. I loved that watch and it survived so much abuse. Me falling off a high fence and getting hit by a car crossing the road.

I finally bought the 300m Seamaster Professional, but after much back and forth I went with the black face. I love the white too, but I felt the black was just more versatile. I bought the bracelet as well as the rubber strap. LOVE this watch. Almost mooched out and bought the new Bond watch in titanium, but it was like 8 grand. This is one of those watches that changes dynamics completely depending on what light it's in and the lume is just stupid good. I like that the pip is green as well as the minute hand, while the rest is blue.

This will probably be my next watch. Really awesome. I own 50 watches, but if I wanted to own one watch, this would be it.

Its BEAUTIFUL! (Tag Heuer "Explorer")

Totally agree, I have one of these as my daily wear watch replacing a Tag I had for about 9 years, its super legible and the lume is really cool, set it and forget it and I'm sure it'll last years just like my last one did.

Love my Aquaracer

I have the 41 mm white dial with the eta 2824 movement. They are hard to find now though, the 43 mm automatic is easier to source.

Haters are going to hate but Tag makes a beautiful watch.

Love this watch. Got me thinking of my next purchase 😂

Great video! Really like the White dial 43mm Automatic(but it's a lot like this watch), or one of the tortoiseshell versions

Is the AR coating on both sides of the crystal?

I want this and the omega aqua terra with the white dial and orange hand just like this def both on the list but if I can get the automatic version of this I would just say never mind on getting the aqua terra and be more then happy with just this

Very nice white deal

I really like Tag Heuer... that's a pretty nice looking watch. Any plans to do the new Tag Heuer Porsche release?

If the automatic version looked like this (plain white dial, no date magnification window) I would buy this.

Nice looking watch (except maybe those polished surfaces on the bezel.. maybe).beautiful dial, bracelet looks great.. but quartz..? Hmm, not so sure. The video production quality is awesome as always.

its awesome

I just bought the black one..this is my first tag..i hope it will servers me right

I own a Tag Heuer Aquaracer 43mm Quartz Chronograph Big Date with black dial.

Nice watch, but the movement has backlash. I can see it. I'd still take the watch. However, a better movement is in the Longines Conquest VHP.

I'm jealous. I have no white dial watches, and every time I think of getting one, I see something else!... One day hopefully!. I'd definitely be OCD about the second hand not hitting the marks. And no snobbery here, but you can get a much better watch for $1500 or $1600. A $1600 watch with a 30 buck movement?

Hello everyone, I like this watch, I am thinking about it for a very long time, I want a nice quartz, grab and go watch that I can really use and make most out of it. My question is, knowing the value of the movement is the rest of $1500 worth it? I know you don’t buy just a movement but also the glass, the metal, the brand, the screw down crown, etc., but is this jump in price justifiable? For example I kinda understand the price of a grand seiko quartz with 9f movement which is revolutionary, but for a regular eta or ronda, is it really worth it? I am keeping my watches, but I don’t want to feel that I was ripped off, if I may, and that the time piece although gorgeous, is practically a $300 watch and $1000 brand on the dial...thank you for any input. Sorry for the length...

Nice watch u think it can be dressy as well?

Who puts polished bits on a diving watch bezel? Those will look terrible with a few light scratches

I'm not a fan of Tag at all but I think it's the best looking of those watches . Doesn't have the same quality of movement or finishing of course but nice looker for sure

People underestimate the simple convinience of a Quartz movement and the luxury of not having to screw around with power reserve, accuracy or high follow-up costs. The thing is that with an off-the-shelf movement for 30 bucks instead of some magical in-house movement obscuring the costs people start asking what they are even paying a grand for. The issue isn't quartz, the issue is that the pricing of luxury watches just isn't based in reality at all.

Seems some just aren't seeing beyond a movement. It's usually a snobby move, and I think that applies here too. A watch is supposed to be hassle free, dependable, well built, and nice looking. You can get that from a $300 micro (usually) with a typical, done to death NH, or you can get it from this Tag. What's easier to maintain? Whats the better time teller? Why aren't those things seen as value just like all the piled on micro merits that are perceived to be?
