Tag Heuer's Heritage Autavia
Unlike previous years, Tag Heuer didn’t present a multitude of novelties from its many collections. 2019 is a year of transition, they say, and in a carefully choreographed strategy, the brand is focused on streamlining its product offerings, as well as revisiting their roots and heritage.
As such, this year everyone's attention is on the Autavia. First introduced in the 1960s, the Autavia remained solely a chronograph model but Tag Heuer is now developing an entire collection of it—including non-chronograph versions. At Baselworld, the first wave of simpler, “three-hand” versions were introduced, and much to our delight, with a varied selection.
You can choose among blue, black or grey smoked dials with steel or ceramic bezels, and 42mm cases in steel or bronze—a first for the brand. Some tweaks were also introduced, such as replacing the Heuer logo with the new one. Straps are interchangeable, with a choice of calf skin, or a steel or bronze bracelet. See anything you like?
