If you’re shopping for a TAG Heuer and stuck between these two, the TAG Heuer Aquaracer vs Formula 1 question comes up constantly. Both carry the same brand name, sit near the same price, and look similar at a glance. But they are built for completely different jobs.
The Aquaracer is a professional dive watch with 300-meter water resistance and a rotating ceramic bezel. The Formula 1 is a motorsport watch built for style and everyday wear, not diving.
Here’s what makes 2026 different. TAG Heuer relaunched the Formula 1 from scratch in 2025, so you’re now choosing between three things: the older quartz Formula 1 on the used market, the new Formula 1 Solargraph, and the Aquaracer. This guide sorts out which one fits your budget, your wrist, and how you actually live.
TAG Heuer Aquaracer Background

The Aquaracer traces back to Heuer’s dive watches from 1978, starting with the Ref. 844. The 1000 Series followed, then the 2000 Series in 1982, which became the direct foundation of the line. The Aquaracer name became official in 2004 when TAG Heuer renamed the 2000 Series, dropping the number by 2005.
The 12-faceted ceramic bezel is the most consistent design trait across modern references. Some models also add an underside cyclops magnifier and dual-color Super-LumiNova, though these vary by reference. The clean dial on references like the WBP201B makes it easy to wear well beyond the water.
The 2024 refresh was the big one. TAG Heuer shrank the Professional 300 from 43mm to 42mm, tightened the lug-to-lug from 50.3mm to 48mm, and dropped in the COSC-certified TH31-00 with an 80-hour power reserve. The GMT version runs the TH31-03. Older Calibre 5 references topped out at 38 hours and were not chronometer-rated.
The collection kept growing at Watches & Wonders 2026 with the Aquaracer Professional 500 Date. It’s a 42mm titanium diver rated to 500 meters, with a helium escape valve and the COSC-certified TH30-00 movement.
So the modern Aquaracer now spans a solar-powered Professional 200 all the way up to a serious 500-meter titanium tool watch. Our TAG Heuer Aquaracer buying guide walks through the full lineup if you want to see where each reference sits.

TAG Heuer Formula 1 Background

Formula 1 launched in 1986, shortly after Techniques d’Avant Garde bought Heuer in 1985. The brand wanted an affordable watch with a motorsport personality. The first models had colorful fiberglass cases, later swapped for stainless steel in the late 1990s.
Formula 1 was never a dive watch. It was made for daily wear tied to racing culture, and over the years it grew into automatic and chronograph variants. For most of its life it was TAG Heuer’s cheap-and-cheerful entry point.
That changed in 2025. TAG Heuer became the official timekeeper of Formula One and used the moment to relaunch the whole line as the Formula 1 Solargraph. The new watch drops to a 38mm case at 9.9mm thick, keeps the ’80s “d├йcroch├й” case shape, and runs a solar-powered movement.
It’s a more grown-up watch than the quartz Formula 1 most people picture, and it retails higher too. Our Formula 1 buying guide breaks the current lineup down reference by reference.
Notable references of the TAG Heuer Formula 1:

What the 2025 Formula 1 Relaunch Changes for Buyers
The relaunch splits the Formula 1 into two very different buys, and that’s the part most older comparisons miss.
The new Formula 1 Solargraph is a current-production watch. It’s 38mm, runs the light-powered TH50-00, and carries a 15-year battery. A full charge holds about 10 months, and roughly two minutes of daylight buys a full day of running.
Retail lands around $1,800 to $1,900 on a steel bracelet, with race-tied limited editions priced higher. It wears smaller and slimmer than any Aquaracer.
The older quartz Formula 1 (the WAZ1010, CAZ1010, and similar 43mm pieces) is now the used-market value play. These are the references that trade cheap and sell fast, and they’re the reason people still think of the Formula 1 as a budget watch.
So the real 2026 question isn’t just Aquaracer or Formula 1. It’s whether you want a dive tool (Aquaracer), a modern low-maintenance daily at 38mm (Solargraph), or the cheapest way into a TAG (older quartz Formula 1). If you’re still getting the lay of the land, our TAG Heuer buying guide maps how the brand’s lines stack up against each other.
TAG Heuer Aquaracer vs Formula 1: Most Notable Differences

Formula 1: [source]
The Aquaracer and Formula 1 share a case shape and a brand name. The specs are where they split. Here are the areas where they differ most.
1. Bezel Type
The Aquaracer uses a unidirectional rotating dive bezel with a ceramic insert and 60 clicks per rotation. The 12-faceted shape helps you grip it with wet hands. Ceramic resists scratches and holds its color for good. This bezel tracks dive time.
The Formula 1 bezel is fixed on most references, with tachymeter markings for speed. It does not rotate. On the few that do rotate, the insert is usually titanium carbide coated steel, not ceramic. On the Formula 1, the bezel is a design feature, not a tool.
2. Water Resistance
The Aquaracer Professional 300 is rated to 300 meters, and the new Professional 500 pushes that to 500 meters with a helium valve. All use screw-down crowns and casebacks to hold the rating over time. The Professional 200 sub-line sits at 200 meters.
The Formula 1 is rated to 200 meters across current references. It handles swimming and casual water exposure fine. It was never designed or rated for diving.

3. Movement and Power Reserve
The current Aquaracer Professional 300 runs the COSC-certified TH31-00 with an 80-hour reserve, and the GMT runs the TH31-03. Older references use the Calibre 5 at 38 hours, not chronometer-rated. The Professional 500 uses the COSC-certified TH30-00.
Formula 1 is a quartz story, but which quartz depends on the era. The new Solargraph runs the light-powered TH50-00, so it never needs a battery swap. Older quartz references use standard battery calibers, and the chronographs use a Ronda 5040-family movement accurate to 1/10th of a second. Either way, no winding and no reserve to track.
4. Bracelet and Clasp
The 2021-and-later Aquaracer H-link bracelet has a double-pusher folding clasp and 15mm of micro-adjustment across five positions. The taper from case to clasp is clean and holds up to daily use.
The older Formula 1 uses a simpler three-link bracelet with less refined finishing and clasp. This is the most consistent complaint in owner forums and used listings. The 2025 Solargraph improves the bracelet and finishing, and rubber straps are available on both eras for long-session comfort.
5. Case Size and Thickness
The current Aquaracer Professional 300 is 42mm wide, 48mm lug-to-lug, and 12mm thick. Compact lugs and a tapered bracelet make it wear closer to a 40mm. The previous generation ran 43mm.
The older Formula 1 three-handers run 43mm at 11.5 to 11.65mm thick. But the 2025 Solargraph flips this on its head at just 38mm and 9.9mm thick. If small and slim is the goal, the new Formula 1 now undercuts every Aquaracer on the wrist.
6. Case Material
The Aquaracer core lineup is brushed and polished stainless steel, easy to service and polish, with the new Professional 500 moving to titanium. Select references add a black DLC (diamond-like carbon) coating. DLC is hard, but if it chips it can’t be polished out.
Most Formula 1 references are standard stainless steel, with some carrying black titanium carbide coated bezels. The 2025 Solargraph adds a proprietary lightweight polyamide case (TH-Polylight) on its colored models. Standard steel Formula 1 watches can be polished at any watchmaker.
Price and Market Demand
Both lines sit near each other at retail, but the used market treats them very differently. The Aquaracer holds closer to retail. The Formula 1 gives up a lot of ground the moment it leaves the store, and that gap is exactly where the buying opportunity lives. All figures below are approximate market values as of 2026, sourced from WatchCharts.
Start with the Aquaracer. The WBP201B retails around $3,700 and trades near $1,725 used, roughly flat over the past year and one of the steadier references in the line.
The WAY201F GMT is discontinued but well liked. Full sets in the Pepsi colorway sit around $1,900 to $2,200, holding value better than the black variants. That’s a modest gap between the line’s strong and weak references, which tells you demand is real and liquidity is decent.
The Formula 1 is a different animal. The WAZ1010 retails around $3,300 but now trades near $857 used, with a market range of roughly $650 to $1,060. That’s a steep discount, and the price slid about 13% over the past year. The upside is speed: it’s one of the most liquid references in the line, so a fair-priced example moves quickly.
The CAZ1010 chronograph drops harder. Against a retail near $1,600, it trades around $650 to $800 used and fell close to 17.5% over the past year. Yet it still ranks among the most-traded Formula 1 references by volume, so there’s no shortage of buyers at the right number.
Here’s what the gap actually means. A watch that sheds 45 to 55 percent of retail isn’t broken. It just has soft resale and heavy supply. For a buyer, that’s the opening. You skip the “new” tax, and you have room to negotiate.
For a seller, it flips: condition and completeness are everything. Full set with box, papers, and the original bracelet is what separates a strong price from an average one. On discontinued references, the lugs and bracelet are the first thing a buyer uses to talk you down.
One more layer sits on top of all this now: the 2025 Solargraph. A new $1,800 current-production Formula 1 puts a ceiling on what a used quartz Formula 1 can ask. Why stretch for a tired 43mm quartz piece when a brand-new 38mm solar model isn’t far above it? That pressure is part of why the older references keep drifting down.

A few Aquaracer references carry most of the buying interest. Here are the three that come up most on the used market, plus the current-generation piece to know if you want the newest movement.
1. TAG Heuer Aquaracer Ref. WBP201D
The Night Diver pairs a DLC-coated steel case with a black ceramic bezel and a white luminescent dial. That white dial against an all-black case is the most distinctive look in the recent lineup, a nod to TAG Heuer’s glowing dials from the 1980s. It suits a buyer who wants the dive-watch spec but a stealthier, less common look than the usual blue-on-steel.
The catch is the movement. It’s the older Calibre 5, not COSC-certified, with a short reserve by today’s standards. And on used examples, check the DLC at the lugs and crown. Chips are common and sellers use them to push the price down, so it’s worth knowing what to check before you buy.
- Case: 43mm, stainless steel with black DLC coating
- Dial: White opaline, black lacquer details, Super-LumiNova
- Movement: Calibre 5 automatic, 38-hour power reserve
- Bezel: Unidirectional rotating, black DLC with black ceramic insert
- Water resistance: 300m
- Bracelet/strap: Black rubber with DLC buckle
- Market price: around $1,900 to $2,500 used, full set (retail ~$3,800)
2. TAG Heuer Aquaracer Ref. WAY201F
The Aquaracer GMT is discontinued but still widely traded, and it’s the pick for a traveler who wants a second time zone without paying Rolex money. The blue-and-red “Pepsi” bezel is bidirectional aluminum with a 24-hour scale, and the black dial runs a red GMT hand that’s easy to read at a glance.
This is also one of the few pre-2021 Aquaracers that has held its ground, and the Pepsi colorway trades above the plain black versions. If value retention matters to you, this reference has quietly earned it.
- Case: 43mm, 12.80mm thick, stainless steel
- Dial: Black opaline, luminous baton markers, red GMT hand, date at 3
- Movement: Calibre 7 automatic, ~50-hour power reserve
- Bezel: Bidirectional rotating, blue and red aluminum, 24-hour scale
- Water resistance: 300m
- Bracelet/strap: Stainless steel, folding clasp with diver’s extension
- Market price: around $1,900 to $2,200 used, full set (retail ~$3,000)
3. TAG Heuer Aquaracer Ref. WBP201B
The 2021 Professional 300 is the reference that modernized the line. It brought a blue sunray dial, a 12-faceted blue ceramic bezel, and octagonal hour markers, plus the first Aquaracer bracelet with a double-pusher clasp and real micro-adjustment. It’s the most versatile pick here, equally at home in the water or under a cuff.
The reserve is short by today’s standards, but the movement is solid and reliable for daily wear. Full-set examples with the original bracelet sit at the top of the range and hold there.
- Case: 43mm, 12mm thick, stainless steel
- Dial: Blue sunray brushed, octagonal luminous markers, date at 6
- Movement: Calibre 5 automatic, 38-hour power reserve
- Bezel: Unidirectional rotating, 12-facet blue ceramic insert
- Water resistance: 300m
- Bracelet/strap: H-link stainless steel, micro-adjust folding clasp
- Market price: around $1,725 used (retail ~$3,700)
4. TAG Heuer Aquaracer Ref. WBP5111 (Current Generation)
If you want the newest Aquaracer, this is the one. The 2024 Professional 300 shrank to 42mm and finally got a chronometer-grade movement, so it addresses the two biggest knocks against the older references at once. It suits the buyer who wants the current spec and doesn’t mind paying closer to retail for it.
Depreciation is still steep in the first couple of years, which is what makes a clean pre-owned example the smart entry. A full-kit piece lands well under retail while giving you the modern case and the 80-hour movement.
- Case: 42mm, 48mm lug-to-lug, stainless steel
- Dial: Wave-textured, applied markers, date
- Movement: COSC-certified TH31-00 automatic, 80-hour power reserve
- Bezel: Unidirectional rotating, 12-facet ceramic insert
- Water resistance: 300m
- Bracelet/strap: Steel bracelet or rubber, micro-adjust clasp
- Market price: around $2,800 to $3,000 used, full set (retail ~$4,000)

WAH1013: Image courtesy of Everywatch (source)
The Formula 1 catalog covers a lot of ground. Three older references anchor the used market, and the 2025 Solargraph is the one to know if you want something current.
1. TAG Heuer Formula 1 Ref. WAZ1010
The Formula 1 Quartz Date is the classic entry point: a blue sunray dial with oversized “6” and “12” numerals, orange accents, and a date at 3. The fixed blue aluminum bezel carries a tachymeter scale. It’s the reference for someone who wants racing looks and a TAG dial for the least money.
The three-link bracelet is the common gripe from long-term owners, and it’s the first thing to inspect on a used piece. But the watch sells fast, so a well-priced example rarely sits long.
- Case: 43mm, 11.65mm thick, stainless steel
- Dial: Blue sunray, orange accents, date at 3
- Movement: Quartz (Ronda 6003D)
- Bezel: Fixed, blue aluminum, tachymeter scale
- Water resistance: 200m
- Bracelet/strap: Three-link stainless steel, folding clasp
- Market price: around $857 used (retail ~$3,300)
2. TAG Heuer Formula 1 Ref. CAZ1010
The Formula 1 Chronograph is the pick if you want stopwatch function on a budget. The all-black dial runs three sub-dials and a red-tipped central seconds hand that makes timing easy to read, and the fixed tachymeter bezel wears a black titanium carbide coating.
Two versions exist, a steel bracelet and a black rubber strap. The rubber is the more comfortable choice for long days. Prices have softened enough that this is one of the cheapest ways into a Swiss chronograph, quartz or not.
- Case: 43mm, 11.5mm thick, stainless steel; black titanium carbide coated bezel
- Dial: Black, three sub-dials, red-tipped seconds hand, date at 4
- Movement: Ronda 5040-series quartz chronograph, 1/10th second
- Bezel: Fixed, tachymeter scale, black titanium carbide coated
- Water resistance: 200m
- Bracelet/strap: Steel bracelet or black rubber strap
- Market price: around $650 to $800 used (retail ~$1,600)
3. TAG Heuer Formula 1 Ref. WAH1013
The Formula 1 Gulf Edition is a discontinued piece from around 2011, and it’s the collector’s choice in this group. The sky-blue and orange Gulf Oil stripes make it one of the most recognizable Formula 1 watches ever made, and it’s the one people buy with the heart, not the spec sheet.
Clean full sets are getting scarce and move quickly when they surface. That scarcity is the whole appeal, so condition and completeness matter more here than on the common references.
- Case: 44mm, 12.5mm thick, stainless steel with black titanium carbide coated bezel
- Dial: Black with sky-blue and orange Gulf stripes, Grande Date at 6, small seconds sub-dial
- Movement: Quartz
- Bezel: Unidirectional rotating, black titanium carbide coated
- Water resistance: 200m
- Bracelet/strap: Steel bracelet or black rubber strap
- Market price: around $800 to $900 used, full set (retail ~$1,200)
4. TAG Heuer Formula 1 Ref. WBY1112 (2025 Solargraph)
This is the new one, and it’s a real departure. At 38mm and 9.9mm thick it wears smaller and slimmer than anything else in this article, and the solar TH50-00 means you charge it with daylight and forget about batteries. It suits the buyer who wants a low-maintenance daily that still nods to the ’80s Formula 1 look.
It’s the only current-production Formula 1 here, so you’re paying near retail rather than picking up a used bargain. What you get for that is a fresh warranty, the newest movement, and a watch that doesn’t feel like a decade-old quartz piece on the wrist.
- Case: 38mm, 9.9mm thick, sandblasted steel (polyamide on colored models)
- Dial: Opaline or colored, applied shield markers, Super-LumiNova
- Movement: TH50-00 solar quartz, ~10-month reserve on full charge
- Bezel: Fixed, tachymeter or racing scale
- Water resistance: 100m
- Bracelet/strap: Steel bracelet or rubber
- Market price: around $1,800 to $1,900 new (retail)
TAG Heuer Aquaracer vs Formula 1 FAQs
Is the TAG Heuer Formula 1 a dive watch?
No. It’s rated to 200 meters (100m on the 2025 Solargraph) and has a fixed bezel on most references, so it handles swimming but isn’t built for diving. The Aquaracer, with 300 to 500 meters and a rotating dive bezel, is the actual tool watch.
Is the new Formula 1 Solargraph better than the Aquaracer?
It depends on what you want, because they aren’t a straight upgrade of each other. The Solargraph is smaller, slimmer, cheaper, and needs zero maintenance, which makes it the easier everyday watch. The Aquaracer is the more capable and more prestigious piece, with a real dive rating and a mechanical movement.
Which one holds its value better?
The Aquaracer, clearly. References like the WBP201B and the WAY201F GMT hold much closer to retail, while older quartz Formula 1 pieces shed 45 to 55 percent. If resale matters, the Aquaracer is the safer money.
Which is better for everyday wear?
For pure comfort and low fuss, the 2025 Formula 1 Solargraph at 38mm is hard to beat. For one watch that covers casual, outdoor, and dressed-up, the Aquaracer’s dive-watch versatility wins.

Which TAG Heuer Should You Choose?
Both lines are well-built and priced near each other, but they solve different problems. If you dive or swim often, the Aquaracer is the practical call. If you follow racing or just want an easy daily watch, the Formula 1 fits better.
Choose the TAG Heuer Aquaracer if:
- You want a real dive watch with 300m (or 500m) water resistance and a rotating ceramic bezel
- You want a COSC-certified automatic with an 80-hour power reserve
- You want a bracelet with micro-adjustment and a double-pusher clasp
- You want one watch for casual, outdoor, and business-casual wear
- You want the more stable resale value of the two
Choose the TAG Heuer Formula 1 if:
- You follow Formula One and want a watch tied to the sport
- You want the cheapest way into a TAG, well under $1,000 used for a WAZ1010
- You prefer quartz with no winding and nothing to service
- You want a chronograph with 1/10th-second timing for well under $1,000 used
- You want the new 38mm Solargraph as a low-maintenance, no-battery daily
- You want the Gulf Edition as a motorsport collector piece
The tie-breaker is simple: buy the Aquaracer if the watch needs to do a job, and buy the Formula 1 if it mainly needs to look good and stay out of your way.
If the Aquaracer is winning you over but you want to see it against other divers in the same money, we’ve put it head-to-head in a TAG Heuer Aquaracer vs Tudor Black Bay comparison. There’s also a TAG Heuer Aquaracer vs Omega Seamaster breakdown if you’re weighing a step up in price.
Where to Buy Authentic Watches Online
There are a few solid online channels for a TAG Heuer like these. Chrono24 is the biggest global marketplace, with escrow and dealer ratings that make it a safe first stop for both lines. It helps to know what to watch for on Chrono24 before you commit.
eBay covers a lot of the cheaper Formula 1 references, and its Authenticity Guarantee program inspects watches above a price threshold before they reach you.
Grailzee runs watch-focused auctions if you’d rather bid than pay a fixed price. Watch forums like WatchUSeek are worth a look too, especially for full-set older references from owners who actually cared for them.
We also buy, sell, and trade luxury watches, and the reason clients come to us over a big marketplace is the walk-up before the sale. Instead of a stock photo and a one-line listing, you get tour videos of the exact watch, honest condition notes, and a real conversation with someone who has handled the piece.
On used TAG Heuer that matters. A tired clasp or a chipped coating is the difference between a fair price and an overpay, and you only catch it when someone shows you the watch properly.
That approach is reflected in our 4.9-star Google rating. If you want that kind of walkthrough on a specific Aquaracer or Formula 1, browse our current collection or reach out and we’ll line up a few options that match what you’re after.

Final Thoughts on TAG Heuer Aquaracer vs Formula 1
The honest way to split these two is by temperament, not spec sheets. The Aquaracer is the watch you buy when it needs to do a job and hold its value while doing it. The Formula 1 is the lighter, more playful pick, and from 2025 it comes in two flavors: the cheap-and-cheerful older quartz, or the fuss-free new Solargraph.
Here’s a timing tip worth keeping in mind. The Solargraph’s arrival is quietly pulling older quartz Formula 1 prices to their most negotiable in years, so if that’s your lane, this is a good moment to make an offer. Buy the watch you’ll still reach for a year from now, not the one that wins the spec sheet today.
