====== TAG Heuer Calibre 16 ======
{{wst>image_cr|TAG Heuer|Calibre 16}}

The **TAG Heuer Calibre 16** is an [[automatic]] [[chronograph]] movement from [[TAG Heuer]]. It is based on the popular [[Valjoux 7750]] and was introduced in [[2005]] with the re-launched [[TAG Heuer Carrera]]. The Calibre 16 was also used in the [[TAG Heuer Link|Link]] and [[TAG Heuer Aquaracer|Aquaracer]].

Heuer had used the [[Valjoux 7750]] since [[1977]] in various chronographs, including the [[Heuer Kentucky]] and [[Heuer Pasadena]]. These could also be considered part of the Calibre 16 family, though that name wasn't used until the re-launch in 2005.

Although TAG Heuer expected to phase out the Calibre 16 in favor of their own [[Seiko]]-based [[TAG Heuer Calibre 1887]], supply of that movement was unable to meet demand so the company continues sourcing this movement from rival [[Swatch Group]]'s [[ETA]]. In [[2012]], TAG Heuer began sourcing a 7750 clone from [[Sellita]], the [[Sellita SW500|SW500]]. For this reason, contemporary Calibre 16 movements can come from either ETA or Sellita, though both are substantially the same as the original 7750.

As of [[2013]], TAG Heuer intends to phase out the Calibre 16 in favor of their own [[TAG Heuer Calibre 1887|Calibre 1887]] and [[TAG Heuer Calibre 1969|Calibre 1969]].
