But those sensations quickly passed, and what we’re left with is a safe, but markedly enjoyable and compelling, modern sports watch with a sneaky amount of forward-thinking technology under the hood. Even if it still feels a little visually safe, the new Autavia Isograph boldly skips the design cues established by its predecessor (y’know, that legendary multi-sport chronograph from the mid-’60s and ’70s) in favor of an all-new visual direction that hints at the future for TAG Heuer without totally forsaking its past.Ĭould you imagine a three-handed Speedmaster or Daytona? Just as I remember the odd feeling of sacrilege when sliding a Navitimer sans chronograph on the wrist, putting on the new three-hand TAG Heuer Isograph for the first time triggered the same reaction.

Though Autavia in name only, its newest permutation still looks to do its namesake proud with an expertly proportioned case, a fresh, multi-layered dial design, a new toolless strap-change system, and a chronometer-certified movement with TAG Heuer’s new carbon composite hairspring technology. It takes a certain kind of crazy to produce a three-hand version of one of the most iconic sport chronographs of all time, but TAG Heuer has never been shy about stirring the pot - even when it comes to its own history.
