The new watch uses the Calibre 17 movement, which traditionally has been the ETA 2894-2. This movement has long featured in TAG Heuers, so much so that we’ve written an entire post on the history of the
Calibre 17. Given that the movement is a modular chronograph based on the ETA 2892, it’s possible that today’s Calibre 17 is built from the Sellita equivalent module, the SW300. We’ll try and find out which version sits inside the newest Carrera.
Look closely at the four dials of the Jack Heuer 80 family and you’ll notice that the two 2013 models are Chronometers, meaning that use COSC-certified movements. The 2015 model uses the same standard grade movement as the original Jack Heuer 80.
