TAG Heuer

The new Autavia Reveal started with a history lesson of the Autavia family by the vintage collectors for the vintage collectors We learned that the original Autavia was a dashboard instrument for AUT omobiles and AVIA tion. The TAG Heuer Museum in La Chau...  

that I've ever seen. I'm not a fan of the re-vamp (usually) but there are some that stand out and wow does the new Autavia stand out but now my pressing question where is my Grey Phantom ? Hehe can you notice I'm eager to receive this piece lol

Lots of people seem to disregard all 're-editions' that come with dates. personally, it's one of the most useful things for me to have on a watch (besides the time!) so I think it's great it is there. Much more useful to me. Also, hiding it in the subdial... 

TAG Heuer specifically did NOT want to create a re-edition. What is past is past and does not need to be repeated. On the other hand, most vintage Autavia automatic wrist watches had date displays. So, the new Autavia having a date display is a re-edition...

Have to say that the marketing campaign behind this re-edition has been following the Hollywood superheroes movie playbook and the long tease is fun.

Would be my pick! Thank you for the tour, MTF! Best Blomman

Nico, As Mr Biver pointed out, there are many nice vintage Autavia chronographs without date, in collectors' hands. Those represent the technology of the time and should be respected. TAG Heuer specifically set out NOT to reproduce an old-fashioned design...
