Tag Heuer New Chrono movement calibre 1969

[TJWN]

The New Tag Heuer Chronograph movement calibre 1969
Year 1969 was the year that Heuer first launched the Chronomatic Calibre 11 movement, considered by many to be the world’s first automatic chronograph movement (With a lot of controversy). This time round claimed to be a 100% In-House movement 


The key specs are:
vertical-clutch system
28,800 vibrations per hour (4hz)
70-hour power reserve
6.5mm thickness
Operates within COSC spec (although movements will not necessarily be COSC-certified)
the dial layout is a V variation or 3,6,9


let's see what model would be fitted in with this movement

Superb finishing.I am sure which ever model using this would cost a bomb

maybe the Carrera and Monaco series will get this new movement

Excellent movement and way to go TAG Heuer!

Calibre 1969 will be positioned between cal 1886 and cal 36.

Guess the 1887 would be used on other range first while the 1969 would be at carrera or the Monaco

quick question... can a particularchrono movement ( say this particular chrono 1969) be used on non chrono watches, vice versa..

No cannot, this is an integrated chrono movement designed for chrono watches only

aight got it.. so chrono movement strictly for chrono watches only. non chrono movement strictly for non chrono watches only..
logical, just wanted to be sure, hear it from really knowledgeable people..

Valjoux/ETA 7750 chrono movement is modified to 7750-p1 (non chrono) and used in PAM Submersible line.

So this time its a proper in house movement and not getting the ip from seiko and work from there?

I believed the base is still from Seiko. Well, just a wild guess.
Not easy to produce a chrono movement from ground up. Just imagine how long does Breitling takes to produce their own chrono movement B01.
