![]() ![]() The only touch of colour on the otherwise monochromatic dial is the word “Autavia”, which is printed in yellow/orange. The chronograph and small seconds subdials are recessed and have a grooved circular pattern. The dial is encircled by a sloping minute track. ![]() The white-on-black design makes it incredibly legible, especially with the stout hour and minute hands, finished with Super-LumiNova (as are the markers). The new black dial has retained the design of its predecessors, with large applied markers and a tricompax chronograph layout. ![]() The mushroom-shaped pushers emphasise the solid design of the case, with the crown emblazoned with a black insert and the TAG Heuer logo. This still uses the sturdy 42mm wide stainless steel case, with a bidirectional rotating bezel that has a 60-minute ceramic insert. Joining the Autavia family is the new reference CBE511A.FC8279, an adaptation of the silver dial presented on the occasion of the Autavia turning 60 last year. With a name that combines both Automobile and Aviation, its intentions are clear as day, especially in this chronograph variation. The Autavia collection goes back a very long time and is important in TAG Heuer’s history. Following the redesigned special editions for the 60th anniversary of the Autavia from last year, this new model combines a stainless steel case with a strong and classical black dial. Today we bring you another one that’s quietly released and immediately available, this time from TAG Heuer. We’ve seen it with the Tissot PRX from yesterday, but in the past also with watches like the Omega CK 859 or the IWC Pilot’s Watch Mark XX. It appears that it’s an increasingly common tactic to launch a new watch and not communicate about it whatsoever. ![]()
