Curb Zone - View Single Post - TAG Team: Heuer and Mercedes unveil new SLR Chronograph

Either there's a new designer on TAG's staff or this is a fluke, because this watch is surprisingly attractive. I'm not in love, but they got alot right with this watch and they managed to strike a good balance between "man factor" and the elegent motifs of the Mercedes brand. Count me pleasantly surprised.

-- "Another special feature is the additional, inner bezel with 60-minute scale, which can be rotated on either side using a flange and the secondary crown positioned at 9 o'clock, enabling, for example, rapid countdown using the minutes hand or measurement of a still remaining period of time."

Very cool. A secondary bezel is a pretty unique feature and matches the character of this watch. Good going.

Limited runs of 3,500 pieces aren't exactly limited, but I give credit to TAG for keeping the number under 5,000 - which is pretty much the status quo for "faux limited."

I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that this watch will have a street price around $3,000.
