====== Heuer Autavia ====== {{wst>image_r|TAG Heuer Autavia|Heuer Autavia\\ © [[Abplanalp for TAG Heuer]]|350px}} **Heuer Autavia** is a wristwatch by [[Heuer]]. ===== The classic Heuer Autavia ===== Already in [[1933]] a stopwatch by Heuer (today [[TAG Heuer]]) was bearing the name "Autavia". [[1962]] an identically wrist [[chronograph]] was presented, inside which a [[Valjoux]] [[manual winding]] movement was ticking. These models can also be recognized by the V-shaped, symmetrical arrangement of the three [[totaliser]]s ([[Tricompax]]). From [[1969]] the watch was equipped with the newly developed [[automatic]] chronograph caliber [[Chronomatic]] with [[microrotor]]. Its typical construction mark is the left sided crown, located at 9 h. In [[2019]], TAG Heuer introduced a new Autavia collection, elevating the nameplate to its own model. **Reference:** * //Valjoux calibres // * 2446, [[Valjoux 72]] * 3646, [[Valjoux 92]] * 7763, [[Valjoux 7730]] * 7863, [[Valjoux 7732]] * 73363, [[Valjoux 7733]] * //Calibre 11, 12, 14, 15 // * 1163, 1163 V, 1163MH, 1163T Jo Siffert * 1563, 1563 MH * 11630 * 15630 * 113.603, military version, completely black, [[PVD]] coating * CY5140, red gold, 70th Anniversary Edition, limited to 150 pieces **Movement:** * [[Manual winding]] [[chronograph]] movement calibre [[Valjoux 72]], 18,000 A/h * [[Valjoux 92]], [[Valjoux 7730]], [[Valjoux 7732]], [[Valjoux 7733]] * //Since approx. 1968 // [[Self-winding]] [[chronograph]] movement calibre [[Heuer 11]] ([[Chronomatic]]), 19.800 A/h * //Later // Calibre [[Heuer 12]] to [[Heuer 15]], 21,600 A/h * [[Incabloc]] [[shock protection]] * 17 [[jewels]] * [[Power reserve]] 45 h **Case:** * [[Stainless steel]] * Ø 38 mm, later Ø 41 mm, H approx. 13 mm * [[Acrylic glass]], some models with [[mineral glass]] * [[Turning bezel]] with [[tachymeter]] scale, variants also with fixed bezel * Screw-in back * [[Water resistant]], some models [[waterproof]] up to 20 atm **Dial:** * Black or white * Three white (or black) [[totaliser]]s * Indices and hands with [[luminous material]] **Functions:** * Hours, minutes, [[small seconds]] at 9 h, date * Chrono function with 60-seconds, 30-minutes, 12-hours counter * [[Tachymeter]] * //Variants // with [[GMT]] function **Bracelet:** * Leather strap with [[tang-type buckle]] or [[stainless steel]] bracelet **Prize:** * According to state and model approx. 2,000 €, special models also up to 6,000 € {{wst>image_cr|TAG Heuer|Autavia 2003}} ===== The re-edition of 2003 ===== In [[2003]] TAG Heuer launched a modern re-edition of the Autavia, driven by a modified caliber [[ETA 2892]] with chrono module by [[Dubois Dépraz]]. **Reference:** * CY2111.ba0775, stainless steel * CY5140, red gold, 70th Anniversary Edition, limited to 150 pieces **Movement:** * [[Self-winding]] [[chronograph]] movement Tag Heuer Caliber 11 (base [[ETA 2892]] with Chrono-Modul 2022 by [[Dubois Dépraz]]), 28,800 A/h * [[Shock protection]] * 55 [[jewels]] **Case:** * [[Stainless steel]] * Ø 42 mm, H 14 mm * [[Sapphire crystal]] * Fixed [[bezel]] with [[tachymeter]] scale * Screw-in back * [[Waterproof]] to 5 atm **Dial:** * Different dial colors * Indices and hands with [[luminous material]] **Functions:** * Hours, minutes, [[small seconds]] at 9 h, date * Chrono function with 60-seconds and 30-minutes counter * [[Tachymeter]] **Bracelet:** * Steel bracelet with [[folding clasp]] or leather strap **Prize:** * 3.100,- €, with leather strap 2.800,- € (in 2005) ===== Weblinks ===== * [[http://www.heuerautavia.com/|www.heuerautavia.com]] * [[http://www.onthedash.com/Guide/_Chronographs/62.Autavia/|www.onthedash.com]] {{tag>Watch_models Chronographs TAG_Heuer_models}}
