The TAG Heuer Aquaracer
The driving force behind TAG Heuer’s newest Aquaracer, the 500M Calibre 5, is fueled by the company’s ongoing passion for excellence. This new luxury TAG Heuer watch is inspired by professional deep-sea divers, and the extreme requirements the sport requires.
Reviews from divers and other Aquaracer fans say it all: the 500M Calibre 5 pushes the boundaries of reliability, prestige, design and precision.
The TAG Heuer Company’s long history with the world of high-performance watersports started back in 1895, when it first patented the “water resistant case”. Then, in 1950, TAG Heuer launched the Mareograph, the first chronograph timepieces with special functions for tides and regattas.
Later, in the early eighties, TAG Heuer launched the 2000 collection. This was the first-ever series of watches designed specifically for the needs of professional divers, and was the precursor to today’s Aquaracer collection.
The newest addition to the Aquaracer series is the 500M Calibre 5, and it delivers the most exceptional functionality for watersports enthusiasts to date. Outfitted with all the bells and whistles that have become the known as the “essence” of the TAG Heuer brand, and pushed to new extremes of luxury and performance, this new timepiece is clearly the crème-de-la-crème of professional diver’s watches.
Here are some of the features that make the TAG Heuer Aquaracer 500M Calibre 5 the top choice for professional divers and watersports enthusiasts:
Water Resistance, Guaranteed to 500 Meters: This watch has been subjected to the most rigorous and exacting operational tests known by the Swiss watch making industry.
Unidirectional Turning Bezel: Not only is this a strong component of TAG Heuer design, the brushed steel multi-function bezel is also an essential safety feature, and makes the Aquaracer instantly recognized as a professional divers watch.
Oversized Screw-in Crown and Easily Gripped Studs: The oversized case of the new Aquaracer is fitted with studs that are easily manipulated, even when wearing diving gloves. Also, the color-coded, screw-in crown features double gaskets, preventing the penetration of water and dust.
Luminescent Markers: For easy reading in dimly-lit spaces, even underwater, the new TAG Heuer Aquaracer has luminescent markers on the indexes and hands, and an orange second hand.
Helium Release Valve: This automated function provides for the release of helium gases when divers remain at great depths for long periods of time.
Automatic Calibre 5 Movement: The TAG Heuer Swiss-made, in-house, automatic 26mm movement is COSC-certified and guaranteed.
TAG Heuer’s new Aquaracer 500M Calibre 5 is a well designed, high-performance diving watch, utilizing the type of premium technology that will allow it to last a lifetime. Masculine, quintessentially Swiss, and technologically advanced, this Aquaracer is a prestigious instrument for serious divers.
