Let's Review TAG Heuer Aquaracer 500 Chronograph watch

Posted on Feb,13th 2012– The latest of the Basel 2010 watches about to make their way to the dealers is the Aquaracer 500m Chronograph (Ref. CAJ2110), which is a professional waterproof watch.

At 44mm, the Aquaracer 500m Chronograph is the largest watch in the Aquaracer range, just as the 1983 Heuer 1000m Diver watch of the 1980s was the jumbo-version of the 1000 series- and a sapphire crystal and case back in a case that took 4 years to develop. The numeric designation reflects guaranteed water resistance to 500 meters.Date at 3 o’clock with a cyclops and rotating diver bezel, and luminescent markers on the numbers and hands improve legibility in low or no light. Steel models feature a steel and rubber bezel. Buckles feature a push-button clasp and diver’s extension. Bracelets offer half-links providing a wider range of adjustment.The Calibre 5 Aquaracer 500m was launched at Basel in 2009 and represented a significant step-up in size and style for the Aquaracer series, with its vertically textured dial, distinctive rubber bezel with applied markers, helium-escape valve and “cyclops” sitting over the date at 9 o’clock.

The Aquaracer 500M Automatic Chronograph has a Swiss ETA Valjoux 7750 that they refer to as the Calibre 16 movement, which has a 38 hours power reserve. The 12-6-9 layout of the Calibre 16 dictates the placement of the registers on the dial and clearly the challenge here has been to fit everything on the dial. It’s available with black dial on rubber strap, silver dial with steel bracelet or rubber strap, with a list price in Switzerland of CHF3,400 (in Australia, the watch will retail for A$4,500).

Review of the replica OMEGA Seamaster Aqua Terra > 15,000 Gauss

OMEGA Seamaster Aqua Terra > 15,000 Gauss is the world's first completely anti-magnetic timepiece.While most anti-magnetic watches use a soft iron cage to protect the metallic movement from the interference of magnetic fields, the movement in the Seamaster Aqua Terra 15,000 Gauss is itself anti-magnetic. No cage necessary, and you can see the movement through the sapphire caseback. This took years of R&D and close collaboration between Omega, ETA, and ASULAB, but Omega hopes to implement the technology across its entire mechanical range over the next few years.  This Replica Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra 15000 Gauss watch features a slightly yellow lacquered black dial with a date window at 3 o'clock and a black and yellow seconds hand which matches the yellow numerals on the minute track. The bezel is mounted on a 41.5 mm stainless steel case and is presented on a brown leather strap. A scratch-resistant sapphire crystal protects this ...
