This is a cool watch that adds an unexpected chapter to the story of the El Primero. The fact that it appears not to be a limited edition and that it is priced very reasonably, in my opinion, at $8,700, is something that makes me happy.
In 2020, the total number of watches exported was an anemic 13.78 million. The year before, however, which is much more representative as production and shipping were not impacted by COVID, Switzerland exported 20.646 million watches. And in 2021 – again, a record year for revenues – the total number of watches exported was up over 2020, but much lower than 2019 – 15.725 million.
On the wrist, it's a virtually indistinguishable experience from wearing a gold Tank Louis Cartier. It's very easy to wear and shares the Tank LC's ability to almost disappear on the wrist. There are of course some differences – the SolarBeat's dial is a little less elaborately executed than the Tank LC but the difference is barely noticeable even with the two watches side by side.
However, I would've loved to see a bit more gold on the Tangente Neomatik Doré. In addition to the Neomatik printing in gold, I would've maybe printed the numerals for the minutes in gold as well. Other than that, I think these are beautiful versions of both models.
So I dug into the history, and I finally realized what I was thinking of: Heuer had produced a series of flyback chronographs for the German Air Force in the 1970s (the Bundeswehr ref. 1550 SG '3H') – but those supplied pieces were not placed within the Autavia line or any other specific collection.
