In our continued effort to find thin and versatile sport watches we were
quite happy to see that the recently refreshed Tag Heuer Aquaracer line
up still had a 300m model that retained the classic good looks and
modest sizing seen on Tag Heuer’s of the past. With much of the
spotlight going to the flashy new 500m Aquaracer models, the WAN2110
300m models seem to be blending into the background given their more
reserved and dressy styling. After spending the better part of a month
with the WAN2110, I can say that while this watch is understated, it
should not be ignored.
Replica Tag Heuer
is likely best known for their chronographs and their involvement with
motor sports throughout much of their history (much of this is pre “Tag”
when the company was just “Heuer”). Iconic models like the Monaco,
Silverstone, and the Autavia range of chronographs have lined their past
with a strong presence in watchmaking and time keeping. In the modern
perspective Tag Heuer has given us its F1 range, as well as watches made
in cooperation with McLaren Automotive, and this year at BaselWorld 2011 replica watch,
Tag Heuer unveiled the Mikrotimer Flying 1000 a concept watch that
houses a mechanical chronograph capable of measuring to a resolution of
1/1000th of a second. Tag Heuer is at the top of their game, once a
brand known more for its celebrity endorsements they are making
considerable strides towards restoring their position as one of the main
players in quality Swiss sport watches. Recently, Tag Heuer introduced a
re-styled Aquaracer line, Tag Heuer replica watch Formula 1 ladies diamonds
which we previewed here. This new range features many models that carry
the last generations styling as well as the new 500m models with their
large cases, rubber-clad bezels and beautifully textured dials (and
unfortunate date magnifiers). The WAN2110 that we are reviewing here is
part of the new line as a refresh of the previous WAB model. If you
wanted to find the WAN2110 on replica Tag Heuer website
you would need to go to the Aquaracer section and then scroll past some
fourteen other models to get to its listing on their site. Its almost
as though they don’t want you to find the WAN2110 and we cannot figure
out why as the 2110 (and its blue sibling the 2111) may be the most
appealing dive watch Tag Heuer makes.
The dress diver is a style that has, for the most part, been mastered.
Omega makes the Seamaster and Rolex makes its iconic Submariner and
James Bond has worn both. The dress diver appeals to the buyer who wants
something tough but aesthetically versatile, a watch for jeans and a
suit. A dress diver must be thin enough to fit under a shirt cuff,
feature a small enough case to not be ostentatious and exhibit simple
but luxurious styling elements. The 2110 is a definitely a dive watch
featuring 300m water resistance, a screw down crown and a bracelet with a
wetsuit extension. The case is 41.5 mm with polished sides and 20mm lug
spacing. Even better, the case, bezel and sapphire crystal stack up at
only 12mm thick which is very thin for a sport watch that features 300m
water resistance. The overall effect when on wrist is perfect, the case
is just the right size for a modern dress diver and the slightly curved
lugs ensure an excellent fit. The unidirectional 120 click bezel is
light and sturdy but sounds somewhat cheap, which could simply be the
number of clicks needed to make one full rotation. A 60 click design
would be much better as half minute timing is likely best left to the
second hand. The grip on the bezel is excellent as there are six evenly
spaced grip tabs built into the edge of the bezel beyond the scale.
These function like the rider tabs on Breitling bezels but thankfully do
not extend onto the face of the bezel. The 12 o’clock setting on the
bezel has a completely inlaid luminous pip, so unlike other watches that
have a stick-on dot the Aquaracer’s pip cannot be knocked off or come
loose. The dial is beautiful and likely my favourite part of this
Aquaracer, it is a high polish glass-like black with printed text,
inlaid markers and a classy inner circle design element that really pops
when light hits the dial (see photos and video). The markers have
beautiful chrome borders that match the long elegant hands perfectly.
The date window has a thin white border and the date wheel uses black
text on a white background so the date feature as a whole blends into
the balance of the dial. The dial and its anti-reflective sapphire
crystal are visually stunning and I actually caught myself staring at
the dial and not even noticing the time. The finish and attention to
detail is excellent and surprised me given the price of the WAN2110 as
one of Replica Tag Heuer grand carrera entry level automatic divers.
You likely wont worry about the time, or at least the Aquaracer’s
ability to accurately measure it. The WAN2110, like most of Tag Heuer’s 3
hand models, is powered by the Tag Heuer Calibre 5 automatic movement.
The Calibre 5 is essentially an ETA 2824-2 or Sellita SW200 but Tag has
apparently dressed it up in some way. As the WAN2110 is not equipped
with a display back I am not sure how much this example is really
improved upon. That said, this movement keeps excellent time. If
averaged out over a week of use (worn during the day left crown down or
up at night) this example ran between 0 and +2 seconds a day, making
this Tag Heuer one of the most accurate automatics I have ever reviewed.
Whatever Tag Heuer does/doesn’t do to the movement is not of any real
concern as they certainly have not made it worse. The screw down crown
is a problem as there is almost nothing for your finger tips to grip on
the edges of the crown so its something of a slippery affair getting the
crown to and from its setting positions. Once unscrewed there is very
little play or wobble in the stem so time setting and winding are simple
enough. We hope that Tag Heuer can fit a new, preferably grippier,
crown to this model at some point in its future.
The bracelet is very nice and look perfect watches
as it tapers from 20 to 18mm at the clasp. Solid links with polished
sides feed into a simple fold-over safety clasp with four micro
adjustments and a hidden wetsuit extension. The finish on the links is
excellent and they ever so slightly bevel inwards at any point where
they might lock up against another link. The bracelet does not display
any considerable rattle and has not pulled any hairs. Sizing the
bracelet, on the other hand, is a hair-pulling experience. Unless you
have experience sizing all sorts of bracelets and have the tools needed
this is a process best done where ever Tag Heuer watches are sold. The
links are held in place by a pin and collar style design that makes
removing links difficult and somewhat tricky. If you do size the
bracelet on your own, be very careful not to misplace any of the collars
as I assume they would need to be sourced directly from Tag (use an
upside down piece of tape to keep them in place on your work bench).
Once sized for my 7.5 inch wrist I began to notice that, while not being
the most high quality bracelet I have ever seen, it is one of the best
looking bracelets I have ever worn. The simple downward slant of the
outer links, the excellent all-brushed finish and the perfect fit of the
sold end links against the case of the Aquaracer really complete the
look.
Tag Heuer replica celebrity watch:
the WAN series is available in the reviewed black or blue and retails
for $1700 but can likely be had for less than $1300 after authorized
dealer discounts. Tag Heuer is a well known and respected brand in Swiss
replica watch supplier
and I believe this new Aquaracer should get far more attention as it
features the same movement as the 500m but its classic styling and more
reserved dimensions may very well stand the test of time better than the
more brash WAJ series. While we think this smaller, more refined and
simple Aquaracer is the one to have, you do not have to take our word
for it, with Tag Heuer’s extensive dealer network you can try one on for
yourself.
