TAG Heuer has embellished this lay-out with a racing touch by adding, here and there, some red accents: red is the central chrono second tip, the three counters scale, the ring along the start-stop button and the “tachimeter” lettering on the stainless steel bezel. It also vaguely reminds us of the Omega Mark II's design, proving the design from the 70s is still very much alive and making a come back. The TAG Heuer Formula 1 Caliber 16 Chronograph's 43mm wide case is quite original and alternates on top satin to mirror polished finishes on the carrure that create a somewhat cool and well-balanced combination. Among the many new models introduced is the new TAG Heuer Formula 1 Caliber 16 Chronograph that adds to the existing chrono while boasting a 'vintage like' look and feel that clearly draws inspiration from the Autavia, an iconic model from TAG Heuer (photo property of ).

TAG Heuer has debuted a new range that is actually not replacing the existing one but, rather, complements it.

During the show, however, I took a close look at all the novelties from this brand: TAG Heuer is among the most prolific brands at Baselworld and it usually doesn't just work on revamping a single collection but, by enlarge, revamps all its line ups either by launching completely new timepieces or just upgrading the existing ones.īut there's a third option that concerns the Formula 1 collection which is the entry being one of the most successful of the brand. At Baselworld 2014 all our eyes, including mine, were fixed on the new Carrera with panda dial and caliber CH80 only to find out that the project CH80 had been set aside so as to concentrate on the development of the caliber 1887, but, like it or not, it drew our attention away from the many new timepieces TAG Heuer has launched this year.
