New version for Middle East.....

Not a fan. The discrete date window on the original and JH LE sticks out more like a sore.


Agreed not a good version. Interesting though that they have corrected chronograph subdial minute tracks, similar to the Jack Heuer 85th edition. Wonder when the non-LE version will also incorporate this change. If the Autavia re-issue was a Rolex watch the initial versions with the "wrong" minute tracks would probably become collector items😀

Finally saw the Autavia today. The case and bezel proportions are much better live. Looks better on the strap...polished case with shiny BOR bracelet much too bling for me. Good effort by Tag-Heuer, but I still think last year's Monza was a nicer watch.

I had seen the Speedy Tuesday a month ago and I can definitely say that I think it looked better proportioned and classier, compared to the Autavia. Comparison shot below with my Speedy XI-45.


PS. The Tag-Heuer Rio boutique manager did not have any knowledge of the upcoming Jack Heuer 85th Autavia LE👎 Very weak staff compared to my local OB. The Tag sales girl tried to sell me Autavia, saying it was a super watch because the distressed leather strap looks so nice🙄
I like the watch better on the strap also.

I really like the Monza. I don't have a black case watch and that may fit the bill for me. I want to like the Autavia, maybe the JH 85th will do it for me. Something about the shiny bracelet turns me off

I think the Monza is very cool, but the location and being black reminds me of Ayrton Senna's tragic death. Perhaps I need to work on that from a mindset perspective. The Jack Heuer 85th on black racing strap should look very good, don't like the BOR shiny bracelet either...with the shiny case it really is way too much bling.
