Here is a article and specs for the TAG Heuer 2013 Aquaracer 500m Ceramic Calibre 16 : Source
The final piece of the 2013 Aquaracer range has now fallen into place with these photos of the TAG Heuer Aquaracer 500m Calibre 16 (Ref. CAK2110). Like the Calibre 5 watch and the Calibre 72 Countdown Chronograph, the new Calibre 16 model features a re-designed case (the same as the Cal. 72 Chrono.), a helium-escape valve, re-designed dial and a ceramic bezel.
The Calibre 16 Aquaracer 500m carries over the design principles set by the other watches in the 2013 Aquaracer range- a more elegant and classical diver watch, but one that is closer to the Aquaracer 300m models than was previously the case.
You can also see in these photos the
combination of highly polished, scalloped sides and the brushed finish
used on the lugs. This detailing is carried over to the grips on the
bezel, which are also polished to a high shine.
One of the best design features of the
new model is the contrast between the horizontal streaks on the dial and
the circular pattern on each of the three sub-dials- it makes the three
registers stand out from the rest of the dial, giving them a
three-dimensional quality.
The hands are carried over from the current Aquaracer 500m Chronograph, as is the large-arrow tip on the 9 o’clock register.
Like the Calibre 72 model, the new Calibre
16 ceramic Chronograph is available with either a bracelet or the
fantastic Isofrane-inspired rubber strap.
The changes from the 2010 model (left) are quite stark and obvious when the two watches are placed next to each other:
Redesigned case- softer design consistent with the original Heuer 2000 and the Aquaracer 300m
43mm (new) vs. 44mm diameter
Ceramic bezel vs. Hard rubber bezel
No cyclops
Smaller TAG Heuer logo; printed “Aquaracer” text
Larger 9 o’clock sub-dial
Rubber- ringed crown and Chronograph pushers
Horizontal vs. vertical streaks on the dial
Smaller helium-escape valve
