For 2013 Tag heuer will once again offer up a few new "Aviation Instrument" themed collection of watches based on the Tag heuer case. I believe this is the third or fourth year of doing so and it began with pieces like the Tag heuer and then the watch. The concept of the piece is to be even more directly "instrument" inspired even though the Tag heuer is called the "Instrument. " Having said that, the standard http://www.waxreplica.com/replica-tag-heuer-grand-carrera-watches-sale-for-uk.html Tag heuer watches are straightforward standard watch dials while the Aviation Instrument collection are a bit more "interpretive. "
You sort of either love or hate these watches. Some people say that Tag heuer is messing with their tried and true formula of unambiguous military watch designs, and still others love the playfulness and designs of these pieces which are directly inspired by specific cockpit instruments. Last year for 2012 we covered the three new Tag heuer watches here with the Turn Coordinator, Altimeter, and Horizon. Now we look at the 2013 Tag heuer.
The first thing you'll notice of course is that these watches take on a black and white with yellow trim theme. That is except for the Airspeed which adds a few more colors (though yellow is dominant). Tag heuer provides images of the actual instrument so that Replica Breitling Chronomat Watches UK | AAA Quality Breitling Chronomat For Sale can see how the concept went from cockpit to Tag heuer watch design. As always, Tag heuer did a good job of "watchifying" them, but with various levels of legibility. I find that those pieces that are the most legible are the ones I enjoy the most. So in this case, I would be most partial to the Tag heuer is about as easy to read as the radar. Though, if you like the idea of a yellow fighter jet outline on your watch then this is the timepiece for you.
No doubt at Baselworld, Tag heuer will once again have the actual instruments the designers used as inspiration for the watches. They make no secrets about the fact that they spend a lot of time looking at old and new instruments of many varieties as inspiration http://www.waxreplica.com for new designs.
One interesting fact worth mentioning is that Tag heuer will offer a boxed set that includes the 2012 and 2013 Tag heuer watches together. Why no Compass or Radar? I don't know - but as limited editions, they may have all been sold out a while ago.
