Case #715 — TAG Heuer Aquaracer Calibre 5 Titanium
Ref. WAY218A.FC6362
Status: Available
Condition: Very Good Pre-Owned
Scope: Box Only
Case Notes
The WAY218A.FC6362 takes the familiar Aquaracer formula and gives it a darker, lighter, more technical character.
At 41 mm, the proportions are compact by modern dive-watch standards, but the black PVD-coated titanium case gives the watch a much more purposeful look than the conventional steel versions. The matching black dial and ceramic bezel keep the palette nearly monochrome, while the textile/leather strap adds texture and keeps the watch light on the wrist.
This is a discontinued reference powered by TAG Heuer’s automatic Calibre 5, offering approximately 38 hours of power reserve.
The practical specification is strong: sapphire crystal, rotating dive bezel, screw-down construction, date display, and 300 meters of water resistance.
This example presents in Very Good Pre-Owned condition and includes its presentation box only. No papers or warranty card are included.
The leather/textile strap will accommodate approximately an 8-inch wrist.
Production date is currently unknown.

Collector Provenance
The Aquaracer has always been TAG Heuer’s practical sports-watch platform.
The WAY218A.FC6362 is one of the more distinctive versions because it moves away from the standard steel-bracelet format and leans fully into lightweight materials and darker finishing.
The black PVD-coated titanium case changes the wearing experience noticeably.
Titanium reduces weight, while the dark finish gives the watch a much more technical appearance than a conventional polished steel diver.
The result is an Aquaracer that feels less traditional and more tool-oriented.
Design Provenance
The visual strength of this reference comes from consistency.
Black case. Black dial. Black ceramic bezel. Dark strap.
Rather than relying on contrast, the watch uses changes in texture to create depth: brushed and polished case surfaces, the sunray dial, ceramic bezel, and textile/leather strap all reflect light differently.
That keeps the watch from looking flat despite the nearly monochrome palette.
At 41 mm, it also sits in a particularly wearable size range, making it easier to live with than many oversized dive watches from the same era.
Technical Provenance
The Calibre 5 is a straightforward automatic movement built for daily use.
It runs at 28,800 vibrations per hour and provides approximately 38 hours of power reserve.
The rest of the case is equally practical.
A sapphire crystal, ceramic dive bezel, screw-down crown, and 300-meter water-resistance rating give the watch genuine dive-watch capability, even if most examples will spend far more time on land than underwater.
From the Case File
This is an Aquaracer that wears lighter and looks more distinctive than the standard steel versions.

Case 715 presents in Very Good Pre-Owned condition and includes its presentation box.

BST Verdict
A darker, lighter, and more technical Aquaracer.
The 41 mm PVD-coated titanium case, black ceramic bezel, automatic Calibre 5, 300-meter capability, and leather/textile strap make the WAY218A.FC6362 one of the more distinctive Aquaracer configurations of its generation.
Case 715 adds Very Good condition and box presentation to a discontinued TAG Heuer diver with considerably more personality than the conventional steel version.
Every case deserves a closer look.
