TAG Heuer Automatic Watches
How to choose your TAG Heuer Automatic watch?
The TAG Heuer Automatic selection brings together references fitted with a mechanical self-winding movement, wound by the wrist's natural motion, without a battery or daily manual winding. Expect generally between €2,200 and more than €8,000 depending on collection and finishing, payable in instalments via Alma up to €15,000. The choice comes down to collection (notably Carrera, Aquaracer, Monaco, Autavia), power reserve and movement visibility, some references offering a sapphire case back.
The automatic movement remains associated with the most traditional manufacture watchmaking, valued for its mechanical dimension and the absence of a battery to replace. At TAG Heuer, several collections offer automatic versions, from the historic Carrera to the sporty Aquaracer and the vintage-styled Autavia. This movement suits a profile drawn to traditional watchmaking, willing to wear the watch regularly to keep its power reserve going, unlike quartz, which runs continuously without needing daily wear.
Which TAG Heuer Automatic watch for which profile?
- Traditional mechanical watchmaking enthusiast → automatic movement
- Regular wear, several times a week → automatic, no battery constraint
- Historic automatic chronograph → Carrera
- Sporty automatic use → Aquaracer
- Vintage style, mechanical movement → Autavia
- Want to see the movement in action → sapphire case-back references
The Auberi view: in Nice, Monaco and Cap 3000, the automatic movement appeals to clients seeking a "living" watch, seen as closer to traditional watchmaking. Our advisors explain how it works and the maintenance suited to each reference.

An internal rotor, driven by wrist motion, winds the movement's mainspring, requiring neither a battery nor daily manual winding.

It stops once its power reserve is exhausted — simply wind it manually or wear it again to restart it.
What budget should I plan for a TAG Heuer automatic watch?
Expect generally between €2,200 and more than €8,000 depending on collection and finishing.
Can I pay for an automatic watch in instalments?

What is the difference between automatic and quartz?
