The overall popularity of the dive watch is a narrative thread woven into a number of parts of this story, which is likely the most personal of cover stories we have done in the last five years. In this case, I am still in the “most people,” camp. While my current tastes go in quite a different direction, the dive watch is a must-have for most people who love watches. It is only one of several dive watches that I own, or have owned. Part of the reason for this is that one of my first proper watches was a TAG Heuer 2000 Series chronograph, featuring an early appearance of the full colour version of the TAG Heuer logo on the dial. I wrote an extensive story on the family of watches known as the Aquaracer in 2018 for the Indonesia edition of WOW, and I followed up with the aforementioned piece last year. The bezel is also provided with a tachymeter scale, which gives the watch a motorsport flair and is reminiscent of Fangio's exceptional skills.Before I let my enthusiasm for the Aquaracer get the better of me, a few confessions are in order. This chronograph has a screwed case back, which is provided with a special FANGIO decoration and a "Juan Manuel Fangio" lettering. He was world champion five times and is still considered one of the greatest racing drivers of all time.Īs a tribute to the great racing driver, TAG Heuer designed the Carrera Caliber 16 Juan Manuel Fangio Special Edition. But Fangio made his debut in the highly competitive Formula 1 world at 37.
In fact, racing drivers over 30 were considered too old.
