Tag Heuer Autavia

Through the Autavia Cup, the public voted on which Autavia model to resurrect, and the victor was the Autavia Rindt worn by storied F1 driver Jochen Rindt. This set the stage for further legendary Autavia models to be reimagined.

The TAG Heuer 1972 Special Re-Edition Autavia is one such reimagined model. Based on the 1972 Heuer Autavia 1163V Viceroy, it impeccably straddles the past and the present while including some contemporary design updates. As another branch in the Autavia lineage, this re-edition timepiece is a worthy tribute that any TAG Heuer collector can get excited about.

Seiko Astron Watch

Fifty years after the first Astron took the world by storm (and marked the start of the quartz crisis), the modern Astron line has taken quartz timekeeping to a whole new level. The most notable watch in this year’s lineup features a beveled bezel with 50 facets that mark the years since the Astron was introduced. All five of the new pieces are big, solid, incredibly accurate and styled well enough to work in a variety of settings.
