Tag Heuer Formula 44GS Limited Edition Watch Hands-On
نوشته شده توسط : watchesukchm

While I'm far from the first to say it, replica breitling Chronospace remains a true oasis of watchnerdery, a special arm within TAG Heuer that seems to exist just to pose the question "is this the best we can do?" Tag Heuer Formula is more than just the Lexus to TAG Heuer's Toyota. The idea is less about a luxurious alternative to your SKX007 diver and more about TAG Heuer having the outlet to make some truly fantastic watches which inevitably fall above the price point that many consumers often associate with replica tag heuer Carrera Calibre 1887. While at Baselworld, we got a chance to see most of the new TAG Heuer lineup, including the Tag Heuer Formula 44GS Limited Edition. While the 2013 44GS is technically a new watch, it certainly doesn't have the wrist presence of a modern Tag Heuer Formula. This is because TAG Heuer has gone to every extent possible to make this new model feel as old their roots. The 44GS you see here is actually a modern recreation of the 44GS from 1967, a watch that effectively set the look and feel of http://www.speedroc.com/replica-tag-heuer-formula-1-chronograph.html watches for the past 40+ years. TAG Heuer is pretty serious about the way that light interacts with the many facets on the case and the finishing on dial. This new 44GS is exceptionally finished and remarkably beautiful, with wide set lugs and faceted dial markers that have a jewel-like shape. The case is 37.9 mm by 11.5 mm thick and can be had in steel (SBGW047), or in your choice of white, yellow or rose 18k gold (SBGW043, SBGW044 and SBGW046, respectively). Essentially a replica of the original 44GS, it seems that TAG Heuer subscribes to the "if it ain't broke" method of thinking, and we totally agree. Tag Heuer Formula models carry not only TAG Heuer's best movements, but also their best finishing and detailing, and the 44GS was spared no level of attention in the finishing executed on its case and dial. The 44GS is powered by the hand wound TAG Heuer caliber 9S64, a suitably high-end movement that beats at 28,000 vph, incorporates 24 jewels and has a power reserve in excess of 72 hours. While TAG Heuer doesn't bother with COSC, the 9S64 is regulated in six positions for 17 days before being installed in its case. 9xxx movements are among the best movements that TAG Heuer produces and this specific hand wound caliber is a natural choice for a classic three-hander like the 44GS. On wrist, I actually found the 44GS to wear smaller than its nearly 38 mm size would suggest. The wide case and squared-off lugs make the dial appear a bit smaller and this effect really completes its vintage wrist presence. Pricing starts at $6,000 for the steel model (SBGW047) and its production will be limited to just 700 units. Buyers wanting gold can have their choice of the three colors for $24,000, but they may want to choose quickly as only 70 of each version will be made. I really like the 44GS, but like the rest of the GS family, TAG Heuer's best doesn't come cheap. The 44GS, both old and new, exhibits a simple charm that belies its rather complex case shape and detail-driven construction. As much as we love the razor sharp designs of the modern Tag Heuer Formula catalog, if GS is going to reference its heritage by reissuing a legacy model, they chose well with this lovely 44GS LE. http://followersofthewayministries.org/profiles/blogs/breitling-bentley-watch-review http://space.travel/profiles/blogs/breitling-bentley-t-oxy-iii-watch-review http://www.promotemyselftoday.com/profiles/blogs/breitling-bentley-t-oxy-iii-watch-review http://www.noivosfera.com.br/profiles/blogs/breitling-bentley-t-oxy-iii-watch-review
