TAG Heuer has quietly unveiled the latest addition to its Autavia Flyback Chronograph lineup. First introduced in early 2022 to mark the 60th anniversary of the Autavia, the collection originally launched with two versions: a steel “panda” dial and a black dial DLC-coated case. Both were met with strong enthusiasm from collectors and quickly became among the brand’s best-sellers that year.
This new release, however, takes a different approach. Instead of the stealthy DLC case, the 2025 Autavia Flyback Chronograph comes in pure stainless steel, exuding a more understated yet powerful presence.
Case and Construction
The 42 mm case, measuring nearly 16 mm thick (including the crystal), combines brushed surfaces throughout with polished bevels along the lugs — a finishing style reminiscent of Grand Seiko’s Zaratsu-like sharpness.
A bi-directional ceramic bezel surrounds a lightly domed sapphire crystal, while the oversized crown and twin chronograph pushers on the right side are all screw-down, ensuring 100 meters of water resistance.
The result is a robustly built chronograph that balances sportiness and refined elegance in equal measure.
Dial and Layout
The deep matte black dial gives the watch its striking character. It features a tri-compax layout:
- 30-minute counter at 3 o’clock
- 12-hour counter at 9 o’clock
- Running seconds at 6 o’clock, partially intersected by a date window with a color-matched black background for a seamless aesthetic.
The applied hour markers stand tall and luminous against the dial, while the broad sword-style hands enhance legibility. All hands and markers are coated with Super-LumiNova for optimal readability in low light.
Movement: Heuer 02 Flyback
Powering the watch is the in-house automatic Calibre Heuer 02 Flyback, a COSC-certified chronograph movement.
It features:
- A red-painted column wheel
- A skeletonized rotor visible through the caseback
- A flyback function, activated via the lower pusher at 4 o’clock
Beating at 28,800 vph (4 Hz), the movement offers an impressive 80-hour power reserve.
Price and Availability
The TAG Heuer Autavia Flyback Chronograph in stainless steel with black dial is priced at USD 6,750.
