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.
