With the launch of the new Aquaracer Professional 200 Solargraph and Aquaracer Professional 100 Solargraph collections for 2026, TAG Heuer continues to expand its use of light-powered technology within one of its most established sports-watch families.
Building on a lineage that dates back to the Heuer Reference 844 introduced by Jack Heuer in 1978, the Aquaracer collection has long been associated with robust construction, water resistance and practical functionality designed for active use.
Over the decades, the line evolved from a purpose-built diving watch into a broader sports collection balancing technical performance with everyday versatility.
Introduced in 2023, the Solargraph technology further reinforced this direction by replacing conventional battery changes with a movement capable of converting both natural and artificial light into energy.
For 2026, TAG Heuer places particular emphasis on the redesigned Aquaracer Professional 200 Solargraph 40 mm.
Water-resistant to 200 metres / 660 feet and powered by the Solargraph calibre TH50-00, the updated models require approximately ten minutes of light exposure to generate around 40 hours of operation and can deliver up to ten months of autonomy when fully charged.
The titanium versions introduce the most technical interpretation of the collection. Ref. WBP1184.BF0008 combines a sandblasted Grade 2 titanium case and bracelet with a Grade 5 titanium bezel featuring alternating sandblasted and sunray-brushed finishes.
Its black dial incorporates horizontal textures together with polar-blue accents on the central seconds hand, crown lacquer and minute track, creating strong contrast against the matte titanium surfaces.
Ref. WBP1190.BZ0003 adopts a more refined approach through the use of a fully Grade 5 titanium construction with brushed and polished surfaces. The grey dial is paired with rose-gold-plated hands and indexes, introducing warmer tones while maintaining the collection’s sporty identity.
Both models feature a redesigned unidirectional rotating bezel with rider tabs, a flat sapphire crystal with double anti-reflective treatment, and titanium bracelets fitted with folding clasps incorporating a double safety push-button system and extension adjustment.
Prices are set at €3,600 / US$3,600 for ref. WBP1184.BF0008 and €3,800 / US$3,850 for ref. WBP1190.BZ0003.
The steel references, ref. WBP1117.BA0047 in blue and ref. WBP1118.BA0047 in green, maintain the same 40 mm architecture while presenting a more classic interpretation of the Aquaracer concept.
Their horizontally textured sunray-brushed dials are combined with rhodium-plated hands and indexes filled with white Super-LumiNova, while the stainless steel cases integrate brushed and polished finishes together with a revised bezel construction featuring grain-textured recesses and polished rider tabs.
Both steel models are powered by the same TH50-00 Solargraph movement and are paired with brushed and polished three-row steel bracelets equipped with an extension system integrated into the clasp. Prices are €3,050 / US$3,100.
Alongside the 40 mm models, TAG Heuer also introduces a new 28 mm Aquaracer Professional 100 Solargraph range, conceived with a more refined and jewellery-oriented approach while maintaining the collection’s sporty foundations.
Crafted in stainless steel and water-resistant to 100 metres / 330 feet, the four references share compact 28 mm cases with brushed and polished surfaces, flat sapphire crystals with double anti-reflective treatment, and fixed bezels with the collection’s characteristic rider elements.
Two versions adopt sunray-brushed dials in black or blue, each fitted with 12 diamond hour markers totalling 0.07 carats. Rhodium-plated hands and applied indexes reinforce legibility while preserving a restrained appearance.
The black-dial ref. WBP141G.BA0049 and the blue-dial ref. WBP141E.BA0049 are both powered by the Solargraph calibre TH51-00 and paired with three-row steel bracelets featuring folding clasps with double safety push-buttons and adjustment extension systems. Prices are €3,000 / US$3,050.
The other two 28 mm models adopt white mother-of-pearl dials, introducing a more decorative dimension to the collection.
Ref. WBP141H.BA0049 combines rhodium-plated details with diamond-set indexes and a sandblasted steel bezel, while ref. WBP141J.BA0049 represents the most elaborate interpretation of the series, adding yellow-gold-plated hands and indexes together with a bezel set with 36 diamonds totalling 0.3 carats.
The latter retains the same 0.07 carats of dial-set diamonds while introducing warmer tones across the overall composition. Prices are €3,250 / US$3,250 for ref. WBP141H.BA0049 and €5,350 / US$5,350 for ref. WBP141J.BA0049.
All four 28 mm references are powered by the Solargraph calibre TH51-00, which converts both natural and artificial light into energy and can deliver up to eight months of autonomy when fully charged. tagheuer.com
