Everyone knows that sports watches are supposed to be made from steel. It’s not just a question of aesthetics, but also practicality- stainless steel is harder than most precious metals (including 18K Gold), meaning that your steel sports watch is less likely to be nicked and damaged than its gold equivalent. And yet, there is something special about the TAG… Read More

TAG Heuer Carrera Limited Edition- The Tale of Two Watches
A few weeks back an especially rare TAG Heuer Carrera arrived at Calibre 11 HQ, almost 10 years after we first wrote about the watch: the Carrera Ennstal Classic Limited Edition from 2005. The Ennstal Carrera features a classically sized 39mm steel case, black dial, custom leather strap, an automatic chronograph movement and was extremely hard to come by, with… Read More

TAG Heuer Link Calibre 17 Blue Dial- In Depth Review (Ref. CBC2112)
When we wrote our review of the Link last year we noted that for a few years it seemed as though the Link collection was coming to an end. After the refreshed range was launched in 2011, there were precious few further additions over the next five years and it seemed as though the expansion of the Carrera range would… Read More

First Look- TAG Heuer Link Chronograph Series (Ref. CBC2110, CBC2112)
The highlight of TAG Heuer’s first batch of 2018 releases is the new Link Calibre 17 Chronograph. It felt inevitable when we saw the men’s Link relaunched last year with a 3-hand watch (Calibre 5) model that we would eventually see a Chronograph follow, but the execution of the watch is even better than we’d thought at the time. Historically,… Read More

First Look- TAG Heuer Carrera Calibre 17 Panda Silver & Black (Ref. CV211D, CV211E)
TAG Heuer has added another two colour variations to the Jack Heuer Carrera 80 family with the addition of Silver and Black models for 2016. Like last year’s Blue dial (ref. CV211A), these watches are not only a limited edition, but will only go one sale in two countries, so those looking to add to their collection of heritage-themed Carreras will need… Read More

First Look- Heuer Monza Calibre 17 40th Anniversary
TAG Heuer has this morning announced the new 2016 Heuer Monza Calibre 17 Chronograph to mark the 40th anniversary of the first Monza series back in 1976. The 2016 Monza traces its lineage back to three historic watches- the mono-pusher Heuer Chronograph of the 1930s (not called Monza), the Carrera-based Monza of 1976 and the 2000 TAG Heuer Monza, which… Read More

First Look: TAG Heuer Carrera Calibre 17 Blue Dial (Ref. CV211A)
TAG Heuer’s gift for Jack Heuer’s 80th birthday, the Jack Heuer 80 Carrera, has become the gift that keeps on giving. The watch was one of the best received modern TAG Heuer designs, and managed to draw on the history of the Carrera without being a straight-up re-edition of a past model- a heritage watch rather than a retro watch,… Read More

TAG Heuer Carrera Calibre 17 Chronometer Boutique Edition- In Depth Review (Ref. CV5110, CV5111)
TAG Heuer has dropped a surprise to close out the year with two new boutique-only Carreras based on the highly successful Carrera Jack Heuer 80th Birthday edition. Given that the new models pay tribute to the design of Jack’s 80th birthday present from last year, it seems appropriate to call the new pair the Jack Heuer Carrera 81…even if that… Read More

Today, we look at a mechanical chronograph movement used broadly across the modern range- the Calibre 17. The Calibre 17 is an ETA 2894-2, and is closely related to other TAG Heuer movements, including… Read More
