Following the introduction at Baserworld 2019 of the Autavia Isograph featuring a special Calibre 5 automatic movement with carbon-composite hairspring (we wrote about it here), TAG Heuer is now launching the Autavia with the standard COSC-certified Calibre 5 automatic movement.
Following the introduction at Baserworld 2019 of the Autavia Isograph featuring a special Calibre 5 automatic movement with carbon-composite hairspring (we wrote about it here), TAG Heuer is now launching the Autavia with the standard COSC-certified Calibre 5 automatic movement.
Beating at a frequency of 4 Hz, this accurate and reliable movement guarantees a power reserve of no less than 38 hours when fully wound.
This choice is aimed to satisfy higher volumes for this model while the production and assembly processes of the Isograph technology are fine tuned to achieve the highest standards of quality.
The Autavia three-hand collection is comprised of seven models: five in stainless steel and two in bronze, all of them housed in 42 mm round cases with the bevelled lugs typical of the 1960s models. They are water resistant to 100 metres / 330 feet.
The bidirectional rotating bezel with a 60-minute scale in black ceramic, blue ceramic or stainless steel enhances the sporty look of the watch while the extra-large crown takes inspiration from pilot’s watches and timers that used oversized crowns to make them easier to use while wearing gloves.
Legibility is ensured by large hour markers and hands, all of them with Super-LumiNova coating. Available in black, grey or blue, the smoked dial is completed by a date aperture at 6 o’clock.
The propeller and tyre that are etched into the stainless-steel caseback are a nod to the collection’s rich heritage.
