Self-winding movement beats at 28.800vph and offers a power reserve of 38 hours. Movements are differentiated with their jewel number, 25 for the ETA and 26 for the Sellita, in case you open the case back but cannot see the brand emblems under the balance spring. Both movements are purpose built calibers and widely used in entry or mid-level Swiss automatics. The movement is either based on ETA 2824-2 or its younger clone Sellita SW200. TAG Heuer Aquaracer Caliber 5 is powered by the Caliber 5 as the name suggests. The solid stainless steel case back that prevents us to enjoy the movement still makes us smile with the beautifully engraved vintage diving helmet figure. The bracelet, which is also equipped with a diver’s extension part to be worn on wetsuits, feels light but also firm on the wrist. Of course, the bracelet that is brilliantly integrated to the case plays a big role. Thanks to its dimensions, the model sits comfortably on the wrist. The orange accents, which are pretty limited with the second hand and Caliber 5 text, can be considered as one of the most visually pleasing details of the model. The cyclops over the date display window at 3 o’clock is effective and practical. These accents offer a beautiful contrast while providing a better legibility. The model features an eye-catching dial design thanks to the black framed hands and indexes filled with white Super LumiNOVA phosphor material. The model, which I water resistant to 300 meters, is equipped with an anti-glare treated sapphire crystal on the front face and a solid stainless steel case back on the rear side. I note this detail, opposite to many dive watches with colorful bezel inserts, in favor of TAG Heuer. I also think that the dodecagon style bezel being made of the same material with the case gives the model a distinctive originality. And we see that TAG Heuer made a great choice in terms of sportiness when designing the surface of the case (and bezel), which is one of the best tricks to highlight the character of the timepiece being introduced. I would like to say a few words about this finishing matter as I believe it drastically changes the character of the model. The surface of the case is dominated with satin brush finish although there are very limited mirror polished parts at the sides of the case and on the bezel. TAG Heuer Aquaracer Caliber 5 comes in a stainless steel case measuring 41mm x 12mm.

The Calibre 5 has been in production for quite some time and has undergone some updates in terms of style. If you find examples of watches that contain the Calibre 5 but with obvious differences in the appearance of the rotors (oscillating weight), do not be alarmed. “A number of TAG Heuer automatic movements are awarded an Official Swiss Chronometer Control (C.O.S.C.) Certificate, the ultimate recognition of precision and reliability.” Different Rotors However, keep in mind that not all Calibre 5 movements are COSC. TAG also uses a high grade variation of the 2824 which is COSC certified. 25 jewels means you have an ETA, 26 jewels means you have the Sellita.
