The large red chronograph hand will advance every 10 seconds and by using the outer dial chapter the red hand will count down for 10 minutes. The center black chronograph hand will count seconds. Once the countdown mode is activated, pressing the top chronograph pusher at 2 o’clock begins the countdown timing. The left register does not have a timing function in this mode and only acts as a countdown mode indicator. This will be indicated by the red left register hand pointing in the downward position. The central red hand counts the Regatta minutes.īesides as a normal chronograph, the TAG Heuer Searacer Regatta Chronograph also functions as a countdown timer for yacht racing. By depressing and holding the bottom chronograph pusher the chronograph is put into “Countdown” mode. The left sub-dial is a 12 hour counter while the right sub-dial shows 1/10th second for the chronograph. It has a black central sweeping seconds hand for the chronograph functions and two sub-dials. The distinctive feature of the Searacer is the Regatta function, with its inner-bezel numbered from 1-10.

Both versions were delivered with an extra nylon strap, enabling the watch to be worn over a wetsuit. The first generation Searacer watches were available with either a brushed and polished stainless steel bracelet with double-safety clasp (reference CK111R.BA0328), or with a calfskin leather strap with signed buckle (reference CK111R.FC8117). It was worn by Chris Dickson, skipper of the Dennis Conner’s Team’s ‘Toshiba’ in the Whitbread Round The World Race 1997-1998. The first of the TAG Heuer sailing watches was the Searacer series (with quartz movement), a watch that TAG Heuer released as both a variant of the 2000 Series and the S/el- Link Series. There was a lot of effort focussed on supporting sailing teams and events.
Very early on the new TAG Heuer management decided to continue to promote TAG Heuer as a sports watch. The brand TAG Heuer starts in 1984 with the taking over of Heuer by Techniques d’Avant Garde.
