The movement is basic but sufficient for the target demographic who wants a Swiss watch with a Swiss movement. Visible through the sapphire crystal caseback window, the mostly unembellished base automatic mechanical movement powers the watch at 4Hz (28,800bph) with about two days of power reserve. The Calibre 5 is TAG Heuer’s name for the Swiss Sellita SW200 automatic. Value certainly seems to be on the side of this new Calibre 5-equipped TAG Heuer Link Men collection (which aBlogtoWatch debuted here). Even though there are watches in the same category as the Link at lower prices, in a lot of ways, the Link offers detailing and aesthetic touches you’d often find in much more expensive watches. In its newly evolved form, the Link gains a more distinct form that is both more aggressive than previous generation models and designed to catch a lot more attention. This means an average daily rate on the first 10 days of testing: from -4 sec to +6 sec.Thoroughly updated for 2017, the TAG Heuer Link continues to be the sporty Swiss watchmaker’s answer to a men’s jewelry-esque “business” watch. 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.
