The TAG Heuer Monaco 50th Anniversary Edition Replica Watch

Of all the watches launched in the auspicious year for watchmaking that was 1969, the Heuer Monaco remains the most avant-garde. Seiko’s Astron might have done the most to transform horology, but even that was perfectly conventional in its styling. Having battled to be among the first to launch an automatic chronograph, Jack Heuer was keen that the watch chosen to house the Calibre 11 would be something that stood out against its one-time collaborators, soon-to-be-competitors (Breitling and Hamilton) as well as Zenith and Seiko. Jack Heuer found a radical new case design courtesy of manufacturer Picquarez; it was also the first properly water-resistant square-cased watch on the market. What was created stood out against just about every watch on the market, and still does -but the Monaco’s best years have arguably come in the modern era. While it’s impossible to say how it would have fared had it not benefited from the huge PR coup of appearing on Steve McQueen’s wrist in the 1971 fi...

TAG Heuer Carrera Calibre 16 41mm Blue Replica Watch Review

Go shopping for a TAG Heuer Carrera Chronograph replica watch and you’ll find a heaping load of options available to select from — though judging by TAG Heuer’s own website, it is slimming down the selection quite a bit. Today, I review what is an entry-level Carrera Chronograph that TAG Heuer calls the Carrera Calibre 16. I take a look at it in its reference CBM2112.BA0651 form with a modern blue dial and matching blue ceramic bezel. The same watch is also available in black tones as the reference CBM2110.BA0651 . This particular Carrera Calibre 16 is the sister model of the similar TAG Heuer Carrera Calibre 16 CV201AR.BA0715 replica watch which costs $50 more (though I am not sure why). Both have the same 41mm-wide steel case, the same Calibre 16 automatic chronograph movement, the same ceramic bezel, and the same bracelet. What makes them different is that the TAG Heuer Carrera Calibre 16 CV201AR.BA0715 has a more “vintage style” dial (with tan-colored luminant on the hands),...

TAG Heuer Aquaracer 300M Ceramic Automatic Diver Replica Watch

Taken, the Swiss watchmaking brand TAG Heuer has updated its famous Aquaracer kind of relatively affordable divers with plenty of new timepieces including scratch-proof bezel. Although not replacing older models, they in some manner be capable of significantly refresh and expand the range with only a couple of light brushes occasionally effectively that makes it a lot more difficult to bid farewell to the store without blowing a substantial hole within your budget. After I have formerly stated, situation a little, um, mid-cycle update, so don’t expect this refreshed model to supply much new inside the looks department. Besides the apparent scratch-resistant, glossy ceramic bezel, the 2015 Aquaracer line now features slightly revised dial with new hrs, minutes, and seconds hands, and several minor adjustment to smaller sized sized elements, like inscriptions and hour markers. Still, round the more subjective note, I have to admit the facial skin-lifted model looks much more ...
