The Breitling Watch Source Forums

Hi

Was wondering if anyone had any info on the Tag Calibre 5, any reviews on this watch.

Thanks

The Calibre 5 is the movement and you can find it in a couple of Tag watches.

However I assume you're talking about the current Aquaracer Calibre 5? If so, I think it's a fairly decent looking watch for a Tag (although I don't like rubber bezels at all), and at 43mm it a little bigger than the old Aquaracer model. The Calibre 5 movement is basically a standard ETA 2836 (I think), so it's fairly usual Tag fair in that respect.

Generally I find Tags are a lot for what they are and I don't personally like the Tag image, but that doesn't mean it's necessarily a bad watch or anything.

Assuming we're talking about the new Aquaracer, if im not mistaken, the calibre 5 is a Sellita SW200. I think Tag only uses ETA in the calibre 5 with day/date function.

That's a good point RJ. You might be right there. Either way it's a bog-standard movement.

TAG makes decent watches, but i would never buy one. Their designs don't appeal to me at all.

dont mind them just over priced for what you get for example the new Carrera here in Australia 4950 aus $$$ are they kidding with the dollar the way it is they will need to drop there price or go broke AD that is, i can get the same watch in the USA from an AD well under 3k and dont even get me started on a SAvenger ..
AD Australia
