Tag Heuer Autavia Automatic Chronograph

Tag Heuer pays tribute to high speed Formula 1 car racing and aviation with this modernized version of the Autavia, a timekeeper invented by Jack Heuer himself and introduced as a wrist chronograph in 1963.

Tag Heuer Autavia automatic chronograph is an excellent retro-looking sport watch. This reliable chronograph was initially designed for car dashboards when it was developed in 1933. 30 years later Tag Heuer Watch Company developed a wristwatch version of the Autavia and the well-known horological work of art appeared.

Tag Heuer brought the developing of the Autavia to a much higher level in 1969 when the Swiss watchmaker began using the Chronomatic movement with a Caliber 11 that was the first automatic chronograph movement to be ever made. The large cushion-shaped watchcase measuring 41.2 mm is made out of rock-hard stainless steel and has a tachometric bezel.

The crown of the watch is found at 9 oРІР‚в„ўclock position. The further success of this chronograph was doubtless when the celebrated Swiss Formula 1 race car driver Jo Siffert started to wear the Autavia. The chrono buttons located at 2 and 4 oРІР‚в„ўclock remind you of the buttons of a stop-watch. They are extremely easy to use, especially if you are driving a racing automobile wearing gloves as there is not any crown between them. Tag Heuer has deliberately kept the dial options to a minimum to maintain the unique look of the Autavia.

This wristwatch is only offered in two face colors: an opaline (or white) dial with black subdials, or a black dial with silver subdials. The white and black combination is delightfully highlighted with a blue second hand and blue hands on the subdials. The black face Autavia has a red second and subdial hands making it look slightly more serious. All these and the Tonneau shape of the case make the chronograph a definitely contemporary wristwatch.

This Tag Heuer's stainless steel bracelet is created for active life style. The bracelet is linked by four individual hinges between every link giving it nice athletic looks. The Tag Heuer's date window is set at 6 oРІР‚в„ўclock for better legibility. If you would like to have a collectable version of the famous Tag Heuer chronograph a limited edition of 150 pieces Autavia watches in pink gold is available. These works of horological art have already gotten the focus of experienced collectors of Swiss made wristwatches.
