The hour markers and hour, minute and seconds hands are coated in Super-LumiNova®, making it possible to read the time even when adventure leads you into the dark. The original Autavia was also known for being highly legible in any conditions, and this is also the case with the contemporary versions. The XL crown takes inspiration from pilot’s watches and timers that used oversized crowns to make them easier to use while wearing gloves. A bidirectional rotating bezel with a 60-minute scale in black ceramic, blue ceramic or stainless steel enhances the sporty look of the watch.
The stainless-steel Autavia 42mm three-hand models feature the rounded first-generation Autavia case and bevelled lugs from the 1960s. What fans loved about the original – its functionality, timeless style and numerous combinations – are also evident in the new models. TAG Heuer’s stylish, cockpit-inspired watch features eye-catching elements that are rooted in the history of the line. The universe of the Autavia captured in a contemporary style At Baselworld in 20, the Autavia was reintroduced as its own collection with seven references designed with the adventurous and daring spirit the Autavia has always been linked to. Popular among motoring enthusiasts and armed forces around the world, the Autavia enjoyed great success and a sterling reputation until production ceased in 1985. Immediately recognisable, this innovative timepiece captured the energy and excitement of rally racing and was legible in any conditions. After production of the Autavia dashboard timer stopped, the name was still available, and then-CEO Jack Heuer decided to use it for the chronograph wristwatch the Swiss watchmaker launched in 1962. The name itself comes from the combination of automobile and aviation. From 1933 to 1957, the Autavia was a dashboard instrument used in racing cars and aircrafts. Bridging the gap between past and futureĪs one of the original pillars of the brand, it was fitting that the Autavia collection was recently reintroduced into TAG Heuer’s selection of contemporary timepieces created for an active lifestyle. Each Autavia is powered by the COSC-certified Calibre 5 automatic movement, delivering outstanding precision and reliability in any conditions. Wearers can choose from a range of strap options and thanks to their innovative easy-change system, they can switch from leather to metal or fabric on the go. Seven models make up the sporty Autavia collection – five in sleek stainless steel and two in noble bronze. The TAG Heuer Autavia collection takes inspiration from the original Autavia models of the mid-1900s to appeal to a new generation of explorers who seek adventure-ready design and high-precision timekeepingĭrawing inspiration from the original design, which was valued by both drivers and pilots, the new Autavia models offer quality, precision and timeless style.
