TAG Heuer Aquaracer Professional 500 Date Titanium

TAG Heuer introduced the Aquaracer Professional 500 Date in April 2026 as a middle step in its dive range, deeper-rated than the 300 m Aquaracer and less extreme than the 1,000 m Superdiver. Each of its two colourways is limited to 1,500 pieces, and this one, WBP5182.BF0010, pairs a black wave-pattern gradient dial with blue on the minute flange, the seconds hand and the bezel's 15-minute scale. The 42 mm case and bracelet are Grade 2 titanium in sandblasted finishes, rated to 500 m, with a helium escape valve at 10 o'clock in black DLC-coated titanium. Monochrome gives the weight as 120 g, noticeably less than TAG's steel divers. The 12-sided unidirectional bezel carries a ceramic insert, and the date sits at 6 under a magnifier. The movement is the TH30-00, a COSC-certified automatic made by Kenissi, with 70 hours of reserve. It lists at $5,400.
