I had a crack at adapting the Flyback case into a “new” TAG Heuer Autavia design more in the vein of the classic 60s models…
Yeah, wouldn't bother me personally, just seems surprising on a $6000 watch...
Agreed, just for comparison the Omega Speedmaster Apollo 11 50th anniversary had a bracelet + second strap and nice box with trinkets and gold applied hands/dial/bezel.
The Silver Snoopy award 50th is on a fabric strap with pin buckle, box is smaller with only a loupe and has a 925 silver dial.
Both with a RRP of €9.6K, FFS at least they could have afforded to put it on a deployant.

So I guess we can consider this as 'released' since TAG Heuer are now showing this on their Japanese website.... although it does say 'LIMITED QUANTITY', whatever that is supposed to mean.
