TAG Heuer

Used TAG Heuer watches at BeepWear are four pre-owned pieces from $1,300 to $4,850: a Formula 1, two Aquaracers and a Carrera GMT chronograph, all in steel. Each was inspected before listing and is photographed as the actual watch, and orders ship insured within the United States.

Which TAG Heuer watches are in stock? The Formula 1 Quartz 37mm in steel with a ceramic bezel, WAH1211, at $1,300. An Aquaracer 38.5mm in steel at $1,400. The Aquaracer Chronograph 43mm in steel, CAY2112, at $3,048. And the Carrera GMT Chronograph in steel at $4,850.

What does a used TAG Heuer cost? The two quartz and three-hand pieces are $1,300 and $1,400, which is where pre-owned Formula 1 and Aquaracer models usually sit. The Aquaracer Chronograph is $3,048 and the Carrera GMT Chronograph $4,850; automatic chronographs are the expensive end of the brand new and stay that way used. TAG Heuer generally sells pre-owned at a clear discount to its retail price, so the saving against new is real on all four.

Carrera, Aquaracer or Formula 1: what is the difference? The Carrera is the racing chronograph Jack Heuer designed in 1963 and named for the Carrera Panamericana road race; it is the brand’s dress-sport line. The Aquaracer is the 300m dive watch, with a unidirectional bezel and a screw-down crown. The Formula 1 is the entry line, launched in 1986 as the first new model of the TAG Heuer era, usually quartz, with a lighter case and a lower price. On this page they run in that order of price.

Is the Aquaracer a real dive watch? Yes. It is rated to 300m, has a unidirectional rotating bezel, a screw-down crown and luminous markers, which meets the practical definition. The 38.5mm piece here is the smaller case; the 43mm chronograph adds stopwatch functions. Both appear in the dive watches collection alongside the Rolex Submariners and Seiko Prospex divers.

What should you check before buying a used TAG Heuer? On the quartz Formula 1, ask when the battery was last changed and check that the seconds hand hits the markers. On the Aquaracers, turn the bezel and confirm the crown screws down. On the Carrera GMT, set the 24-hour hand and run the chronograph; it should start, stop and reset cleanly. Every piece here was inspected before it was listed.

How does BeepWear list and ship these? One listing per watch, with the reference in the title and the current price. Orders ship insured within the United States; the authenticity guarantee, the returns policy and the warranty terms each have their own page. The two chronographs also appear in the chronograph collection and the Carrera GMT under GMT watches.
