A QUICK OVERVIEW OF THE TAG HEUER, HEUER 01

The base movement for the Heuer 01 is the TAG Heuer Calibre 1887, which itself is based on a SII (Seiko Instruments Inc.) TC78 platform first developed and patented in 1997.

Marc Walti, TAG Heuer’s head of products explains that it “features the same dimensions and the same features, such as 50 hours power reserve, column wheel, oscillating pinion, chronograph functions. But the aesthetic of the movement has been completely reworked.

“On the dial side, there is a skeleton date disc with black PVD treatment, on the reverse, there is an oscillating weight shape which references a car’s steering wheel with côtes de Genêve finishing and black PVD treatment. The bridges are more open than on the Calibre 1887 and the column wheel is red.”
