So what happens when you take the defining elements of the pilots's watch, the dive watch and the racer's watch, and combine them into a new three-hand Autavia?
Here's my in-depth review of the new TAG Heuer Autavia, on Hodinkee -- https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/tag-heuer-autavia-isograph-in-depth
Got to say -- it was kind of fun trying to get to the "essences" / defining features of these three types of sport watches. We know them when we see them, but what really makes a dive watch a dive watch, etc.?
Simple summary of the reactions to the new Autavia Isograph -- watch enthusiasts generally seems to be OK with the watch (as evidenced by comments on the Hodinkee posting); the vintage collectors are not fans, evidenced by comments on Instagram and in Facebook groups.
