The story of the Calibre 1969 goes back to the year 1969. This was a very important time for TAG Heuer because it is the year they released the legendary Calibre 11, which also happened to be the debut year of the automatic chronograph movement. For a while it was actually believed by some (perhaps naively so), that an automatic chronograph movement was not possible. It certainly was possible, and TAG Heuer proved it. The Calibre 1969 is not a copy of the Calibre 11, but thematically takes its place among TAG Heuer movements all these years later. 1969 also saw the release of automatic chronographs by Zenith and Seiko.
Compared to the 1887, the 1969 movement has less parts (for efficiency), is thinner, and has a longer power reserve. As a chronograph movement it offers a triple subdial layout (tri-compax), with counters at 3, 6, and 9 o'clock, along with the date. It operates at 28,800 (4Hz), and has a nice long power reserve of 70 hours. I want to emphasize that I am really happy they decided to go with a 4Hz frequency, that in my opinion is the standard for modern movements. This is especially good given the long 70 hour power reserve, which is often done at the expense of frequency (we see too many 3Hz movements coming out these days in our opinion).

it has two important features that chronograph lovers should be looking for. First is a vertical clutch transmission, as well a column wheel. These features ensure smooth, precise operation of the chronograph as well as long term reliability.

the Calibre 1969 has about 200 parts and, most of which are produced at the Chevenez manufacture. TAG Heuer has employed a series of very high-tech machines to produce everything. Using smaller, oil-free CNC and other robotic manufacturing machines (to make the parts), TAG Heuer is awarded with an amazing amount of technical flexibility that allows them to change what they are producing very quickly. The facility is fully staffed with watchmakers in charge of assembly and quality control.
Mr. Linder was quick to point out that the 1969 movement will be used in a range of watches, and not just in single watch collections such as the Carrera.
I hypothesize that watches with the Calibre 1969 movement will be positioned between the Calibre 1887 and the Calibre 36 (which is essentially a Zenith El Primero).
