Red Dot Design Prize 2017 - TAG Heuer Autavia Calibre Heuer 02

The caliber Heuer 02 came back in a more complicated form as the base of the Heuer 02T tourbillon, which powers the most affordable Swiss Made COSC Chronometer certified tourbillon, also produced by TAG Heuer. Two versions of the "Nina Rindt" re-issue TAG Heuer Autavia will be available, with one on a "rain grain" steel metal bracelet (reference CBE2110.BA0687), and the other on a brown vintage-style leather strap (reference CBE2110.FC8226). Otherwise, the two models are the same.

TAG Heuer Autavia Calibre Heuer 02 comes in a polished steel case that is 42mm wide. True to the originals, it has a bi-directional rotating timing bezel with a black aluminum hour marker insert. The most desirable trait of the watch from a collector's standpoint is the "panda dial" style which means the subdials are a contrasting color from the dial on a more or less monochromatic palette. This not only emphasizes legibility but happens to look beautiful as well. Note the use of "Heuer" only on the dial even though this is a modern TAG Heuer watch.

The caliber Heuer 02 automatic movement is pretty impressive from a technical specification perspective. Further, it is totally conceived and built in-house by TAG Heuer. Produced from 233 parts, this automatic 12-hour chronograph movement has a symmetrical triple subdial layout, operates at 4Hz, has 80 hours of power reserve, and includes a chronograph with both a column wheel transmission system and a vertical clutch.
