Tough times call for tough timepieces and the new TAG Heuer Aquaracer 500M Calibre 5 fits the bill. Designed with the world of professional water sports in mind, this is one timepiece that literally won’t crack under pressure.

With a guaranteed water-resistance of 500 meters (hence the 500M of the name), the watch calls out to professional divers with a penchant for horological excellence. Like all good diver’s watches, this one has the required unidirectional bezel, high luminescence on the markers and hands, and the traditional screwed-down crown.

Interestingly, Swiss watchmaker TAG Heuer has a long history with the Big Blue, having patented its first water-resistant case in 1895. In 1950, the brand launched the Mareograph, the world’s first chronograph with tide and regatta indicators. This led to the 2000 collection, released in 1982, from which the Aquaracer is descended.

The Aquaracer 500M Calibre 5 is available in brushed steel, with a variant available with a rose gold bezel. Straps come in steel or rubber.
