Tag Heuer has updated its Aquaracer line with a cool timepiece called Aquaracer 500m Calibre 5 all Black. Undoubtedly the color theme of the watch is black. As you can see in the picture, the case, bezel, dial and strap are all black in various materials and textures. However, Tag Heuer escaped the allure of a real all black watch by presenting the hour markers and indicators in yellow-green. The yellow-green just work so well under the black theme that I am sure nobody will care whether it is all black as its name suggests any more.
This cool watch is light and wearable. That’s because it comes with great construction in high grade titanium. On top of that it has a soft touch bezel. The rotating diver’s bezel comes with rubber insert around the metal numerals. Said to be specially scratch resistant, the black case measures 43mm in diameter. Legibility has always been a strong point of Tag Heuer and this watch is no exception. The black dial with “vertical streak effect” looks uncluttered. The yellow-green luminous markers and hands under the black background make time reading a easy thing. Besides, the glass protecting the dial is sapphire with antireflective coating. Unusually the date window with a magnifier cyclops is positioned at 9 o’clock. This is to help balance the bulk of the crown and make the face and case design look “even”.
Such a amazing watch is powered by the calibre 5 automatic movement that has been finding its way in most three hand automatic Tag Heuer watches these days. As a diver’s watch, it is water resistant to 500m. And it is completed by a high grade Tag Heuer textured rubber strap with locking deployment clasp.
Retaining the essence of the Tag Heuer Aquaracer and carrying new features, the Tag Heuer Aquaracer 500m calibre 5 all black perfectly demonstrates a new level of casual luxury. Therefore, those who are active and sporty now may find the ideal objects that can reflect his character.
