CBE2118.FC8246
It seems like there's a new TAG Heuer every few days at the moment, and mostly they aren't all that appealing. This on the other hand, while it's not to my taste, is definitely a class above the latest Max Verstappen and Alec Monopoly watches. You really can't go wrong with a black dial and a red second hand, so this is something of an open goal. I also rather like the white subdials, and actually ditching the 6 position subdial makes the watch look a bit less fussy and allows the date window space to breathe (although I don't mind it inside the subdial as it usually is to be fair, better than squeezing it in at 4:30).
Unfortunately, so far this is the only picture available of the watch, which doesn't give much to go on, but since the Autavia is largely already a known quantity this one is really all about the dial, and that definitely looks good to me. Elsewhere the 1972 Re-Edition sticks with the aluminium bezel from the standard model and teams it with a white stitched strap, which again while not to my particular taste does look like a good match for this piece.
At present, this is only on the US website and is priced at $5800 (£4500). It is listed as a 'Special Edition' rather than a 'Limited Edition' so production figures are open to speculation and will probably depend on sales.
