The dial is semi-skeletonised and feature : black opaline minute and hour chronograph at 3 and 9 o’clock, and a small seconds indicator at 6 o’clock.
The watches house the brand’s newly launched calibre automatic TH81-00, made in collaboration with manufacturer Vaucher Manufacture Fleurier—the movement is entirely made in titanium and is the lightest automatic chronograph ever made by the brand till yet. “Every component of the watch reflects our passion for horological artistry.” said Carole Forestier-Kasapi, TAG Heuer’s movements director.
