The overall effect when on wrist is perfect, the case is just the right size for a modern dress diver and the slightly curved lugs ensure an excellent fit. Even better, the case, bezel and sapphire crystal stack up at only 12mm thick which is very thin for a sport watch that features 300m water resistance. The case is 41.5 mm with polished sides and 20mm lug spacing.
The 2110 is a definitely a dive watch featuring 300m water resistance, a screw down crown and a bracelet with a wetsuit extension. A dress diver must be thin enough to fit under a shirt cuff, feature a small enough case to not be ostentatious and exhibit simple but luxurious styling elements.
The dress diver appeals to the buyer who wants something tough but aesthetically versatile, a watch for jeans and a suit. Omega makes the Seamaster and Rolex makes its iconic Submariner and James Bond has worn both. The dress diver is a style that has, for the most part, been mastered. Its almost as though they don’t want you to find the WAN2110 and we cannot figure out why as the 2110 (and its blue sibling the 2111) may be the most appealing dive watch Tag Heuer makes. If you wanted to find the WAN2110 on Tag Heuer’s website you would need to go to the Aquaracer section and then scroll past some fourteen other models to get to its listing on their site. The WAN2110 that we are reviewing here is part of the new line as a refresh of the previous WAB model. This new range features many models that carry the last generations styling as well as the new 500m models with their large cases, rubber-clad bezels and beautifully textured dials (and unfortunate date magnifiers). Recently, Tag Heuer introduced a re-styled Aquaracer line which we previewed here. Tag Heuer is at the top of their game, once a brand known more for its celebrity endorsements they are making considerable strides towards restoring their position as one of the main players in quality Swiss sport watches.
In the modern perspective Tag Heuer has given us its F1 range, as well as watches made in cooperation with McLaren Automotive, and this year at Basel, Tag Heuer unveiled the Mikrotimer Flying 1000 a concept watch that houses a mechanical chronograph capable of measuring to a resolution of 1/1000th of a second. Iconic models like the Monaco, Silverstone, and the Autavia range of chronographs have lined their past with a strong presence in watchmaking and time keeping. Tag Heuer is likely best known for their chronographs and their involvement with motor sports throughout much of their history (much of this is pre “Tag” when the company was just “Heuer”).
