Dive watch in an everyday format
Depending on the reference, the stainless steel case measures between 41 and 43 mm and combines polished with satin-finished surfaces. The unidirectional rotating bezel clicks into 120 positions and features a ceramic insert that resists scratches far better than earlier aluminium versions. With its horizontal stripe pattern, the dial takes up a motif that has been part of the Aquaracer since the 1980s. Indices and hands are generously coated with luminous material and the date sits at 3 o'clock.
The Calibre 5
The Calibre 5 is a Swiss automatic movement with a date function and a power reserve of around 38 hours. It is regarded as robust and uncomplicated to service and has proven itself over decades in countless watches – a deliberate choice for reliability rather than record-breaking specifications. The screw-down crown, the screw-down case back and water resistance to 300 metres make the watch a fully fledged diving instrument. The folding clasp can be adjusted to fit over a wetsuit via an extension mechanism.
An entry point to the brand
For many, the Aquaracer with Calibre 5 is their first mechanical watch from TAG Heuer. It offers the features of a dive watch at a moderate price, is easy to service and can be transformed from a sports companion into a business companion simply by changing the strap.
