The Calibre 11 Story
Calibre 11 is the name of the famous movement that Heuer developed with its partners in the late 1960′s- the first automatic chronograph movement which Heuer called “Chronomatic”. From its introduction in 1969, the Calibre 11- and its successor movements the Cal. 12, 14 and 15- powered the most innovative range of Heuer watches in the company’s history, including:
- Monaco
- Autavia
- Silverstone
- Carrera
- Montreal
Modern TAG Heuers draw their inspirations from this famous line of watches.

Thanks a lot for allowing my request, James.
have senna le2002 need extra links as put on a few pounds ! best place to get ?
Hi Mark- eBay is probably your best bet…or try TAG Heuer. Cheers
Found this very informative site whilst searching for additional information/history about my TAG/Heuer 510.500/12, specifically why the watch uses a 3-register Lemania 5012 rather than a Lemania 5100! Not sure I’m any closer to the answer but am thoroughly enjoying the articles and photo’s (and have noticed you don’t have any photo’s of the /12 here!).
Cheers
Dave
Thanks Dave- take a look here- some more information on the 5012 from DaveS:

This is a great site, so well done.
I became an owner when i won a little black’n'red Formula 1 with rubber strap some years ago. Since then i’ve acquired a later Formula 1 chronograph (2 white dials, 1 multi) and a ’98 McLaren.
Does that mean i’m hooked?
Thanks for the compliments. Hooked? Yes, I’d say so. The great thing about mid 80s-mid 90s TAG Heuers is that they are not too hard to find and great value for money, so you can justify this hobby as an “investment”
