The blue will probably prove to be the most popular, but the other two options still hold their own. There are three dial options: silver, black, and blue sunray. A quality that is carried through from the slim profile of the case. Seamlessly tapering away and gently moulding to sit flat against the wrist.

And just like its predecessor, it’s fully integrated into the case.

Twin S-shaped links follow suit and are also vertically brushed with polished rounded edges, and have a way of catching reflections to create a lively mix of light and shadow. While the case is all new, the Link is all about the bracelet, it’s where it gets its name from after all. The smooth lines mean that this Link is elegant and dressy, but with subtle crown protectors and 100m of water resistance, it harkens back to the sportiness of the 1987 original. With satin brushing and polished edges creating contrast and emphasising its silhouette, particularly on the two-piece bezel. Now measuring 41mm, the case of the updated Link treads the curved line between a round and cushion shape. At least that was until last year when it was relaunched in the women’s collection, and this year it’s the men’s turn. In recent years, however, the Link was overshadowed by the other big players in the TAG Heuer catalogue. First released in 1987, the Link began life as the TAG Heuer S/EL (short for Sports Elegance) and throughout the ’90s was one of their most successful models. And in the case of the new TAG Heuer Link it can actually be a very good thing. And just getting yourself up and down from a chair now takes effort and involves a distinctly loud groan. It’s an age when we’re expected to be mature and take life seriously. So, have another look at the cool, clear lines of the latest Link in Cam’s review …įor some, turning 30 is a daunting occasion. It’s such an evocative design for the brand, and one that is due for a serious comeback (if everything else ’90s is an indication). This means an average daily rate on the first 10 days of testing: from -4 sec to +6 sec.I/trending 28145 The sporty sleek TAG Heuer Link Calibre 5 Time+TideĮditor’s note: I’ve got a real soft spot for the TAG Heuer Link - and indeed for integrated bracelets more generally. There are, however, variations of the Calibre 5 that are COSC certified, including the movement for the Autavia calibre 5. How accurate is the Tag Heuer calibre 5? To begin with, it is, in general, not a COSC-certified movement. Some versions have ”Côtes de Genève”, but all versions are engraved “TAG Heuer - Calibre 5 - Swiss Made”. It cannot, however, be called an in-house movement.ĭepending on the version, the calibre 5 can be decorated differently.


In terms of functions, it displays hours, minutes, seconds, and the date. The movement it uses as its base, the 2824, has a power reserve of 38 hours, but TAG has upped the power reserve to 42 hours. It has a power reserve of 42 hours and beats at a frequency of 28800 vph. It is an automatic movement with a bidirectional rotor. However, it can also be based on the Sellita SW200. It uses the ETA 2824-2 as its base, but TAG has in turn given it the name calibre 5. It is one of TAG’s go-to flagship movements. TAG Has several different variations of the Calibre 5. In fact, it may very well be TAG’s most well-known caliber. The Tag Heuer calibre 5 is a movement (caliber) used by Tag Heuer for a large number of watches.
