TAG Heuer presents a full black version of its automatic 43mm AQUARACER 500M Calibre 5 diving watch.
The all-black AQUARACER 500M watch houses a TAG Heuer Calibre 5 Automatic movement inside its fine-brushed titanium case, which is 43mm wide and black-titanium carbide coated. The screwed-in crown is black “soft-touch” rubber coated, as well as the unidirectional turning bezel which also bears a yellow luminescent dot at 12 o’clock.
The jet-black dial has a vertical streak effect, with all-conditions readable yellow-green luminescent markers on the black finished hands and indexes, and on the vertical sides of the magnified date window at 9 o’clock. The lettering is in white: “500 M” written next to the date window, “CALIBRE 5” and “AUTOMATIC” at 6 o’clock on the dial.
The TAG Heuer AQUARACER 500M Calibre 5 Full Black 43mm (reference WAJ2180.FT6015) watch features a scratch-resistant smoked sapphire crystal case-back. This diving timepiece comes with a fine-brushed automatic helium valve at 10 o’clock. The black rubber strap has a solid titanium clasp with safety push buttons. Launch date: September, 2010.
