TAG Heuer SLR Mercedes Benz Watch CAG2011.BA0254

The TAG Heuer SLR Mercedes Benz 47mm (Ref. CAG2111.BA0253) represents authentic automotive collaboration from TAG Heuer’s partnership with Mercedes Benz and McLaren Formula 1, creating genuine motorsport DNA rather than superficial branding. The revolutionary top-mounted chronograph pushers angled at 30 degrees mimic paddle shifters, transforming chronograph operation into automotive-inspired tactile experience.

At 47mm with substantial construction, this provides commanding presence whilst the angled pushers and integrated lugs make it more wearable than dimensions suggest. The vertical striped silver dial references SLR McLaren grille design whilst the titanium bezel and mixed materials reflect automotive engineering approaches combining different metals for optimal performance.

The TAG Heuer Calibre 17 delivers reliable chronograph functionality based on proven ETA 2894-2 architecture with 42-hour power reserve. The column wheel actuation provides crisp pusher engagement whilst the modular construction ensures long-term serviceability. The movement’s proven track record offers confidence for demanding applications.

The triple aperture day-date display and distinctive case profile create unconventional design that stands apart from standard TAG Heuer collections. Limited production during the specific partnership era creates genuine rarity, with fewer examples circulating than mainstream models.

This SLR Mercedes Benz suits buyers seeking authentic automotive collaboration with genuine design innovation rather than typical motorsport styling. The discontinued status and cult following amongst collectors who appreciate its departure from conventional chronograph design make this undervalued considering its unique automotive heritage and substantial construction quality.
