TAG HEUER AQUARACER 500M Calibre 5: the Rare Green International Limited Edition

Tag Heuer introduced 2 mysterious limited edition of Aquaracer Calibre 5 watches this year. Some called it the Leonardo DiCaprio Limited Edition because the famous actor was named TAG Heuer's new brand ambassador earlier this year and was seen sporting the Tag Heuer Aquaracer watches in a magazine ad.


But if you take a careful examination of the pictures above and below, you will find why I said the 2 limited edition watches are rare. As you can see in the middle of the watch dial, it says ‘Green Cross’ instead of ‘Calibre 5’ as usual.

I checked in Tag Heuer’s website but just could not find any information about these two rare watches except for the following picture:

As other posts showed, Green Cross international is one of the most influential and effective environmental organizations endeavoring to preserve our planet's resources for future generations. Tag Heuer and Leonardo DiCaprio would make some donations to Green Cross international and another environmental organization, the Natural Resources Defense Council.

The two 43-millimeter watches are in blue dial with rubber strap and steel bracelet, respectively. They are water resistant to 500 meters. Only 1600 pieces are available worldwide, retailing at $2,450.

I think the steel bracelet edition is more stylish than the rubber strap edition. But if I can choose one of them to make scuba diving, I would definitely choose the latter, because it looks more sporty. Although there is not much to say about the appearance of these two watches, they are just too ordinary and make me think of the Rolex See Dweller, they are still worth of notice because they are limited edition watches, and with little report.
