Designed by Jack Heuer - TAG Heuer Autavia Jack Heuer

As the favorite series of TAG Heuer fans, the first Autavia was born in the 1930s. Heuer's watchmaker decided to create the ultimate pocket watch, combining the world of "cars" and "aviation" - hence "Autavia." In 1962, the brand released the first Autavia watch. Designed by Jack Heuer, then 30, the chronograph became a favorite of legendary racers and regular folks.

The TAG Heuer Autavia Jack Heuer watch is both stylish and modern, while also focusing on its traditions, capturing the spirit of the golden age of racing in an ultra-stylish way. Polished steel 42mm round case, notched black aluminum bi-directional rotating bezel - 60 minutes and 12 hours mark - This is a cool, high-end sports watch. As a chronograph, it also features a grooved crown between two steel mushroom buttons at 3 o'clock.

The replica TAG Heuer watch's "new retro style" continues the dial with a bold silver dial on the dial with sunlight. In addition, in keeping with the monochromatic appearance of the timepiece, the dial is coated with a rhodium-plated time scale, satin-finished, and white on the top for improved readability. The central hour and minute hands and the ultra-thin chronograph second hand are also rhodium-plated for a more all-metal style. However, the three black ribbon sub-dial of the chronograph are located at 3 o'clock, 6 o'clock and 9 o'clock, respectively, which makes the dial of this watch just right. These registers represent the timer minute counter, the small seconds counter, and the timer hour counter, respectively.

Matching this black is the peripheral minute track, which was also created by Jack - with an ergonomic "1 / 3-2 / 3" rule that enhances legibility. Other outstanding elements on the dial are the "Heuer" logo under the 12-point mark and the word "AUTAVIA". In addition, there is a small "HEUER 02" in the register at 6 o'clock.

Heuer 02 powers the Autavia Jack Heuer Edition. The Heuer 02 is an automatic movement with 28,800 vph (or 4 Hz) power, including chronograph and date functions. The date window is carefully placed in the dial small seconds counter at 6 o'clock. This Autavia has an 80-hour power reserve and will not forget its practical roots.
