Tag Heuer Aquaracer Ref WAB2010.BA0804

The Heuer brand was created in 1860 and specialized in stopwatches and chronographs.  Their focus was on instruments used in sports, such as dashboard timers.  However, the focus shifted for Heuer brands in the
late 1950s and early 1960s, as the popularity of chronograph wristwatches was gaining momentum.  In 1962, when Jack Heuer, a race car driver and motorsport enthusiast, became head of the company, he
spearheaded the creation of the Carrera watch.  

The Tag Heuer Aquaracer WAB2010.BA0804 features a 41mm case with a sapphire crystal and a unidirectional rotating bezel with a black aluminum insert.  The black dial lumed hour markers, lumed hour and minute hands, a red-tipped running seconds hand, and a date window at the 3 o’clock position.  Powered by an automatic ETA 2824-2 movement, the Aquaracer WAB2010.BA0804 features a 38-hour power reserve and a water resistance rating of 300 meters.

Included with this Tag Heuer Aquaracer WAB2010.BA0804 is the original outer box, an inner service box, the warranty card, the user manual, the original purchase receipt, and service paperwork from Tag Heuer.  There is wear present that is consistent with the age of this timepiece, including a scratch on the crystal near the 7 o’clock position, which is visible in the
photographs.
