propeller, the engraved
case back is a nod to the
collection’s heritage. Its

WITH ONE OF THE MOST INNOVATIVE
WATCHMAKING TECHNOLOGIES TO
APPEAL TO A NEW GENERATION
OF ADVENTURERSSpirit
Adventurous
At this year’s
Baselworld, TAG Heuer
reintroduced the Autavia
as a stand-alone collection
with a range of models
that boast the versatility,
ruggedness and reliability
that characterized the
original Autavia watches
produced back in theTAG HEUER AUTAVIA
1960s. The original
Autavia was known for
making use of the latest
technology, and these
models are no different.
The combination of the
caliber 5 and the carbon-
composite hairspring
gives every model in
this collection Isographdistinction, which also
means an improvement
for the performance of the
watches. What fans loved
about the original—from
its functionality, timeless
style and numerous
combinations—is evident
in the new models as
well. Above all, as one ofthe pillars of the brand,
the Autavia was a natural
choice for TAG Heuer
to launch as its own line,
with it joining the ranks
of the Carrera, Monaco,
Formula 1, Aquaracer and
Link collections.
