TAG Heuer Replica Presents Five New Models At Goodwood Festival Of Speed

Published November 27, 2015 / by avant1replicawatches

The 2015 Goodwood Festival of Speed drew enormous crowds to the ever-popular grounds of one of the UK’s most famous estates. One thing you notice when you visit the Goodwood Festival, which ran from June 25th to June 28th, is that everything moves quickly. The air is bursting with the rip-roaring sound of revving engines, the excited chatter of legions of fans, and the overhead sonic booms of jets zipping by. It’s an assault on the senses and one to be savoured.

When the daily drudgery gets you down, the TAG Heuer replica sponsored event is one of life’s great escapes. If you managed to get a ticket, your eyes would have been treated to some of the finest examples of automotive excellence the world has to offer, and, as if that weren’t enough, five new watches from TAG Heuer replica.
The TAG Heuer replica Carrera Calibre 16 Chronograph Senna Edition comes in two variations. You can choose a stainless steel case with an anthracite dial and a stainless steel bracelet with the same style of links (referred to as the “legend” style but, arguably, the basic design is much more widely known as the Link bracelet) worn by Senna himself; though, the links have been rounded for comfort and slightly refined. The other version is in DLC titanium on a rubber, tire-tread-inspired strap.

In my opinion, the DLC version on the rubber strap is far and away the pick of the bunch. The rubber is flexible out of the box and guarantees a snug and reassuring fit. At 44mm, the TAG Heuer Carrera Calibre 16 Chronograph Senna Edition is big, but not oversized by modern standards. The rubber strap and titanium case significantly reduce the weight and increase the comfort when compared to the steel variant. If you’re a die-hard steel fan, you will surely disagree, but for the money, I think the DLC version presents a better example of its type. The legend bracelet is fine, but does not grab your attention that much due to its one dimensional finish.

Let’s start with the two TAG Heuer replica Carrera Calibre 16 Chronograph Senna Editions. I found both TAG Heuer replica Senna Carreras to be excellent case studies in saturation branding – that is very difficult to get right, but also something TAG Heuer replica has extensive experience with. The stylised “S” in racing red features on the dial, the bezel, and the case back. It is hard to begrudge TAG Heuer replica their obvious enthusiasm for Senna and his posthumous ambassadorship (he even appeared as a hologram during the official launch in Barcelona), but the overt markings might be a bit much for those who want to wear this watch as a daily beater and not keep it in a box for posterity.

The TAG Heuer replica brand is evolving. In a strange way, it is becoming a microcosmic example of the watch industry on the whole. Its high-end has given us some amazing pieces over recent years with evermore exciting and ambitious calibres featuring unusual complications and a technical association with speed – although that division has seen severe budget cuts as a result of TAG Heuer replica‘s efforts (which we covered extensively here) to reposition itself with new pricing strategies as a brand with much better value proposition, bringing it back to its roots. As a result, at the entry-level, the watches are becoming more affordable and the use of quartz, increasingly commonplace.

The TAG Heuer replica Formula 1 McLaren Special Edition is one of three Formula 1 inspired quartz watches showcased at Goodwood, along with two more Senna memorial models. The McLaren is my favourite of the three, especially on the NATO strap (It is also available on the “legend” bracelet). The black and “rocket red” NATO is boldly decorated with a racing stripe. It dresses down this watch, which looks a bit passé on the bracelet. Being a quartz, it is highly functional and superbly accurate. I always think that if you want to spend over fifteen hundred bucks on a quartz, you might as well go for a chronograph. That way you can easily justify your choice on purely practical grounds. It’s very possible to get a great automatic three-hander for the same price as this TAG Heuer replica, but a mechanical chronograph at that price? They exist but they are very rare – and more often than not come with an inferior and not very dependable movement. And rarer still is it to find one from a brand with the same level of visibility as TAG Heuer replica.

Introducing The TAG Heuer Replica Carrera CH80, TAG’s New In-House Chronograph Movement Finds Its First Home

Published November 26, 2015 / by avant1replicawatches

With the introduction of Calibre 1969 a few months ago, TAG Heuer replica demonstrated its renewed commitment to producing in-house chronograph movements. At Baselworld, the calibre received a new moniker – “CH 80” – a nod to the automatic chronograph’s 80-hour power reserve. In addition to a slick new name, the movement finally found a home inside the new Carrera 41mm, a stainless-steel, three-register chrono imbued with the good looks of the 1960s classic without being a vintage clone. Oh, and it’s under $6,000. It’s a good move from the racing specialists who clearly continue to take their TAG Heuer replica watch very seriously.


Notably, TAG Heuer replica expects to double production capacity from 50,000 in-house chronograph movements last year to 100,000 in 2016. To facilitate the production, TAG Heuer replica has invested CHF 40 million in a new manufacturing facility in Chevenez, Switzerland, supplementing its existing workshop at La Chaux-de-Fonds. In an effort to be more vertically integrated, the company has also acquired case-maker Cortech and dial-maker Artecad to bring production of more TAG Heuer replica watch components in-house.


In selecting the iconic Carrera for inspiration, TAG Heuer replica demonstrates a deft and conscious approach to bringing proven designs through to a new model. The case size in particular, at 41mm, is a wise choice. Overall case design remains the same as other TAG Heuer replica Carreras, with angular lugs extending from the case with architectural grace. The thinner movement is complemented by a thinner case overall that sits comfortably on the wrist.


Good balance TAG Heuer replica watch is achieved on the dial via a 3-6-9 configuration for the minutes, seconds, and hour-registers respectively. On the dial, you’ll also see a date aperture between 4 and 5 o’clock. The dial is available in two colors: black with white sub-registers and a “panda” version with white dial and black sub dials. The latter looks particularly crisp, with TAG Heuer replica watch a bright red seconds hand adding some color to the bright white dial.


Otherwise, TAG Heuer replica watch the finishing on the dial is clean. Brushed and polished Rhodium indices surround the black dial, while black indices with the same surface treatment look particularly bold against against white. The fine scale surrounding the dial measures down to a 1/5th of a second and is colored in red for the first 15-second portion. In this TAG Heuer replica watch case, the instance of red complements the center chronograph hand as it moves around the dial.

Inspired by replica Omega the lunar dust that captured mankind’s first and last steps on the Moon, this model is crafted from white ceramic that has been transformed to a shimmering metallic grey. The 44.25mm white case material is subjected to 20,000 degrees Celsius for replica Omega three hours in the plasma heating chamber, which containing different gases, which causes it to turn grey. The case, caseback, bezel, crown, pushers and buckle are all  replica Omega crafted from the same ceramic material.

Omega Speedmaster Grey Side of the Moon

OMEGA’s new Speedmaster “Grey Side of the replica Omega Moon”, bearing reference number 311.93.44.51.99.001, is hitting stores soon. This piece is a follow-on to 2013’s highly-demanded Speedmaster “Dark Side of the Moon”, and while it shares some similarities, it also features several design elements that distinguish it from any other model the brand has ever introduced, such as grey ceramic case, luminous ceramic bezel, and a sand-blasted platinum dial.

The replica Omega sand-blasted 950 platinum dial gives the Speedmaster “Grey Side of the Moon” looks absolutely killer and underscores the craftsmanship that went into creating the Omega replica watch. Two integrated platinum sub-dials distinguish the timepiece from its legendary predecessor, OMEGA’s “Moonwatch”; the 12-hour and 60-minute counters on the same sub-dial at the 3 o’clock position, while the sub at 9 o’clock is the small running seconds. The red-tipped, center-set seconds hand is for the chronograph. Look closely and you will also see a small “Pt 950” notation just above the center hands on the dial.

Though not pictured, engraved on the caseback is the name of the Omega replica watch: “GREY SIDE OF THE MOON”. The Speedmaster “Grey Side of the Moon”replica Omega  is presented on a grey leather strap and has a rubber insert with holes on the area where the buckle is fastened for added durability. You can see also on the underside of the strap there is red stitching that complements the red accents on the replica Omega Co-Axial calibre 9300 visible through the sapphire crystal caseback. The Cal 9300 is a co-axial chronograph movement with a silicon balance spring.

While it does not carry the gravitas of the original “Moonwatches”, but as for me well I love the modern look and replica Omega modern technology of both the “Dark Side” and “Grey Side” of the moon. The Omega replica watch comes in a special presentation box, and I’d guess that it will be every bit as popular as the Dark Side of the Moon…and the same price, too: $12,000.
