For the 24-hour insert of the Autavia 60th Anniversary GMT 3 Hands, the brand opts for a classic and masculine black and navy blue colorway. All three 60 th Anniversary models are topped with polished ceramic bezel inserts, with silver engraved scales that add a touch of brightwork to the design. Both chronograph models use screwdown mushroom pushers to add to the sense of retro-modernist masculinity in images, while also ensuring solid water resistance.
The overall case forms are shared with the rest of the current Autavia line, combining a coin edge bidirectional bezel with strongly brushed vertical case sides, and athletic lugs featuring a tapering polished chamfer.
The TAG Heuer Autavia 60th Anniversary GMT 3 Hands and both versions of the TAG Heuer Autavia 60th Anniversary Flyback Chronograph all measure in at a sporty 42mm, with cases forged from stainless steel. The new collection, which includes two variants of the TAG Heuer Autavia 60th Anniversary Flyback Chronograph as well as the TAG Heuer Autavia 60th Anniversary GMT 3 Hands, honors the Autavia’s legacy as a technical innovator with a pair of new movements while adding nods to the series’ varied history through its eclectic modern design language. To celebrate this enduring and adaptable series, TAG Heuer has unveiled not one but three new Autavia references, all of which pay tribute to different stages in the line’s evolution.

2022 marks the 60th anniversary of the Autavia line, and in the six decades since its 1962 introduction the series has run the gamut from serious engineering-minded tool watches, to the watches of choice for international racing drivers, to military-issued pilot’s chronographs, to faithful recreations of those same classic racing watches, and into its current guise as a pilot-inflected series of “adventure watch” three-handers. While cornerstones like the Carrera and Monaco have continued from their ‘60s origins to the present day with their original character intact, the Autavia series has evolved more drastically over time. There’s no shortage of evocative nameplates in TAG Heuer’s back catalog, especially when it comes to chronographs and other sports watches.
