The TAG Heuer Aquaracer 500M Full Black retains the same basic design DNA of the Aquaracer 500m Steel and then adds its own design flourishes to give it a more modern, stealth look. The dial, bezel, case, crown, strap screws, rubber strap, and movement are all a subtle matted black. Indeed only the bezel highlights, titanium deployment buckle, and helium escape valve aren’t black, and the watch’s main source of contrast from its all-black look is the bright yellow and green superluminova on the hands, 12 o’clock bezel pip, and markers.
This titanium case and buckle is a large bold watch, yet with a weight very similar to the smaller 38mm Aquaracer. TAG’s deployment buckle is also designed with the user’s comfort in mind. Most deployment buckles on high end watches still utilize pre-set holes. On this style of strap, the user must decide which hole he wants to slot the buckle.
TAG Heuer Aquaracer 500M Full Black should be considered for someone who wants a watch that is daring and different. At US$2,750 the watch is only a slight premium over its US$2,550 steel counterpart.
