In the spring of [[2010]] TAG Heuer presented the [[chronograph]] version of the model [[TAG Heuer Aquaracer 500M Calibre 5|Aquaracer 500M Calibre 5]] from the dive watch series [[TAG Heuer Aquaracer|Aquaracer]] (launched October 2010). The watch is, as the name implies, [[waterproof]] up to a depth of 50 atm. The round, generously sized case (44 mm) is made of polished and [[satin-finished]] stainless steel. The uni-directional rotating bezel in [[satin-finished]] stainless steel has a black soft-touch coating and polished pushbuttons with lateral gripping grooves for ease of use with diving gloves. At 10 o'clock an automatic Helium escape valve is placed. This one-way valve triggers when the difference between the inner and outer pressure conditions reach a critical level. The three [[totaliser]]s on the black, vertically striped dial show the hours (at 6 h), the minutes (at 12 h) and the seconds (at 9 h) in chronograph mode. The watchband can be chosen between a black [[rubber]] band and a three-rowed bracelet in [[satin-finished]] stainless steel with polished edges and center links. **Reference:** * CAJ2110.BA0872 black, [[stainless steel]] bracelet * CAJ2110.FT6023 black, [[rubber]] strap **Movement:** * [[Self-winding]] [[chronograph]] movement TAG Heuer Calibre 16 (base [[Valjoux 7750]]), 28,800 A/h * [[Power reserve]] 42 h **Case:** * [[Stainless steel]] [[satin-finished]] * Ø 44 mm * [[Domed]] [[sapphire crystal]], [[antireflective]] on the inside * Uni-directional rotating [[bezel]], coated with black [[rubber]] * Helium pressure compensation valve * Screw-in back * [[Screw-in crown]] * [[Waterproof]] to 50 atm **Dial:** * Black with vertical grooves * Hand-applied indices and polished hands with [[luminous material]] * Seconds hand with orange-colored tip **Functions:** * Hours, minutes, [[small seconds]] * Date with loupe at 3 h * Chrono function **Bracelet:** * 3-rowed brushed [[stainless steel]] bracelet in [[satin-finished]] stainless steel with polished edges and center links and with polished solid stainless steel clasp * //Variant // * Black [[rubber]] strap with chequered pattern, with solid stainless steel clasp {{tag>Watch_models Chronographs Dive_watches TAG_Heuer_models}}
