I think I'd call it a "Tribute" piece rather than a "Reissue."
...or as you so perfectly stated, "a modern interpretation of the old Siffert."
TAG Heuer announces Autavia Jo Siffert Collector’s Edition for Calibre 11
TAG Heuer has teamed up with Calibre 11 to release the Jo Siffert Collector’s Edition Autavia, a Limited Edition of 100 pieces sold exclusively by Calibre 11. The Siffert name and brand has been licensed by Calibre 11 for this watch and represents the fir...
I am in total agreement when it comes to pilots‘ watches. No date. On the Autavia: if you put in a date ....
..... - and mind you, the 1163 Autavia / Siffert had a date as well - then THIS is the way to do it. Cheers, HSTE
Ok. Thank you for the info 🙏
I wrote that because the 73663 had no date and that makes sense for me its new iteration had no date too 🤔 Best wishes Alkiro
The new iteration is in a „completely wrong case“. It is a „Siffert“ in a 2446 case. I guess this is not....
....the 60 years Omega Trilogy type of getting as close as possible to the original but a modern interpretation of the old „Siffert“. The way that they have managed to hide the date is ok for me. But as usual, it’s a matter of taste. Cheers, HSTE

....some stuff bothered me: minute scale on the stop counter is wrong, it says „Heuer 02“ on the dial as reference to the movement, it says „TAG Heuer“ on the visible movement etc. On this „Siffert“: all correct. And I love the creme dial with the blue ac...
Now hold your horse: I am the vintage guy. And I got myself one of these.
I had the real (below) one in mint condition with box and paper (1163). Sold ot to someone who rocks! This re-edition is going to be a daily wearer. Cheers, HSTE ...
A pretty watch by PuristSPro friends at Calibre 11 forum
A similar looking vintage watch was one of my favourites at the last Heuer Parade Auction that was reported on PURISTSPRO HERE Our friends at Calibre 11 did a good job. I love the blue highlights. Regards, MTF
Yes me too, love the blue accents but hate the date window
And if this is essentially the same watch as the Autavia Heritage last year then the dimensions are a bit too chunky for my taste = 42 x 15.6. I already have one beast in the JLC EL II and that’s enough. ☹️
Very nice tribute
More exquisite and rarer than Rolex😀. I can live with the the black Darth Vader date. It is subtle black background . The UAE Limited Edition is the most gorgeous color but the detail is very bad (Heuer 02 writing, and obnoxious black with white backgroun...
