TAG Heuer Aquaracer 500m Ceramic Watch Review
Monday - 22 October 2012
This is the first watch in the Aquaracer series with a ceramic bezel. The collection is described as an essential sports watch, and TAG Heuer believes the addition of ceramic makes this model suitable for "active men who care for style". The new design was inspired by sailing and "reaffirms the Aquaracer's unrivalled water sports credentials" offering water resistance to 500 metres and a helium valve at 10 o'clock.
The Aquaracer 500m Ceramic has a scratch-resistant ceramic unidirectional bezel and a polished screw-in crown. It has a 41 mm steel case and is equipped with Swiss made Calibre 5 movement.
The blue dial has a horizontal streak effect, and features luminescent hands and indexes for visibility in the dark or underwater. There is an angled date window at 3 o'clock, and a special diver decoration appears on the screw-in case back.
