I've been looking for a manageably-sized chronograph for awhile now. Something under 40mm and thinner than the regular 7750 offerings so when I saw this at the used-dealer's, I had to get on it right away. It was "ho-hum" on the website but when I tried it on, that familiar tunnel-vision that afflicts so many of us with this condition took over. By then, it was a lost cause. Question: anybody know what movement's in there? The winding crown and pushers are not on the same plane, so it's definitely a stacked module, but it's a lot thinner than the usual 2824 / Dubois-Depraz variety. Plus it's an automatic, so I'm wondering how they crammed it all in. On to the pictures!     Lume isn't too bad... Now all I need is:  ...but I think it's gonna have to wait awhile. |

Nice looking watch good score enjoy. ;) hand6.gifhand6.gif Looking around it looks like that movement would be a Calibre 17 Automatic (base Eta 2894). ;) |

Very nice Tag Heuer It is a Targa Florio I asume? One like that slipped away from me this spring  I think as Skip do that it`s equipped with TAG Heuer's Calibre 17 automatic movement. It`s a remake of the 1950s Tag Heuer classic, worn by auto racing legend Juan-Manuel Fangio who won the famous Sicilian road race known as the Targa Florio. Congrats and enjoy  |

Thanks for the useful info guys. This forum is indeed a fount of knowledge! DM71, I'm not a big TAG fan either (I've only really liked the old plastic-crystal Monaco) but that was before I saw this model. Never knew it existed as I'm not so familiar with the older models. Most people here wear the F1, Aquaracer or Carrera. Thanks again guys! |

Jonathan, congrats on the new purchase! I don't know much about Tag but there are lots here on 3T who can help. If, however, one of resident chrono experts can say your movement is a Dupois-Depraz, consider yourself very lucky. DDs are tops on accuracy and approach chronometer levels. hand6.gifhand6.gifhand6.gif |
