Here we have a 2020 TAG Heuer Autavia Blue Calibre 5 Chronometer WBE5116.FC8266, now discontinued, captures the flare of a vintage pilot watch with a modern twist. The 42mm polished and brushed stainless steel case curves over your wrist with tapered lugs, and a lug-to-lug length of 50mm and a case thickness of 12.5mm give the watch an impressive wrist presence. On the right side is a signed crown. The bidirectional blue bezel is made from ceramic with deeply engraved numerals. A domed sapphire crystal sits above a striking blue “orange peel” textured dial. The raised outer minute chapter ring surrounds applied bevel-edged hour markers. 3D Arabic numeral indexes in moulded thick SuperLumiNova mark the hours and add dimension and interest to the dial. At 6 o’clock, a framed date window. Thick sword hands coated in SuperLumiNova complemented by a sweeping second hand. The TAG Heuer motif is applied at noon with an orange “Autavia” at 6 o’clock, adding a splash of colour. Finally, underneath, we have an “Automatic Chronometer”. On the reverse, a screw-down case back with an engraved propeller inside a steering wheel highlights the “Autavia” relationship in aviation and automobile history. Inside an Automatic COSC TAG Cal. 5, a movement based on either ETA 2824-2 or Sellita SW200-1. The watch comes fitted on its original 21mm TAG Heuer brown vintage style thick leather strap with a signed buckle and comes with its original presentation box, papers and Chronometer certificate.
