Something is coming... (Insta teaser)

 

What's all this then?

Some are saying a new Autavia?

 

without Autavia or Carrera on the dial?

 

Maybe on the lower part of the dial. With 2 registers there would be enough space.

 

Hubert obviously knows something we don't.

Possibly a Formula 1?

 

Looks like it could be a Formula 1 or an Autavia - but the Autavia has already been done in the Viceroy color scheme we're seeing.

My guess is it'll be a Formula 1, maybe with an H02, but without the name on the dial - so that it resembles the original Viceroy more with the cushion case.

 

A formula 1 with the H02? God I hope not. The bezel design is inconsistent with the F1 so hopefully a Carrera or Autavia. The latter would be a peculiar move given the aviation theme of late and the cutting of the Autavia Cup range. This seems to be a racing inspired design.

 

It’s an F1

 

I like F1s.

 

You won't like the price.

44mm seems slightly on the large side, despite the cushion case. It's OK, but not in the same league as the Fragment Carrera imo.

Seems a bit crazy that you can get an original Autavia Viceroy for much less, but there you go.

 

I actually like it, but agree that 44mm is a bit big.

Image time now:

 

I think it's very cool actually. There are elements I don't like, 44mm (!), the whole right-hand side. But I really think the overall design of it is great. A nice balance on the dial, really punctuated by the red, a subtle cool little date window and a faithful couple of nods to Heuer heritage....while not TRYING to be something it's not. (i.e. one of the vintage models). No, I like this one a lot.

 

I like it, but what is it? While it has the looks of an Autavia and the case of the F1, it's really neither and not labeled as anything other than a Fragment Heuer 02.

It's a cool piece, however I think I'd rather have the Fragment Carrera or the Viceroy Autavia over it.

 

I rather like the fact that it has not been pigeon-holed into a particular model line. The lack of dial text is appealing too.
