Ну и вопрос к гуру – где я могу поподробнее почитать про свои часы, насколько я понимаю механизм Tag Heuer Calibre 5 на базе ETA и всё, а что ещё? Какие вообще механизмы у Tag Heuer, насколько хорош именно этот и вообще история модели.

Серию запустили в 2004, поправьте если ошибаюсь.
Caliber 5, он же ETA 2824-2, он же с недавнего времени Sellita SW200. 2824-2 - рабочая лошадка, проверенная временем, ставится много на что - он нескольких сотен долларов до нескольких тысяч.

In-house calibres:
Calibre V (Monaco V4)
Calibre HR03 (Microtimer/ Monaco 69)
Calibre S (Quartz tractor, mechanical chronograph module)
Calibre 1887 (Carrera and 300SLR)
Calibre 360 (Chronograph module only).
In addition, there is of course the Pendulum movement that is in the early stages of being further researched. It’s an interesting mix of movements and skills, all the way from quartz to the highly complex, belt-driven V4.
So, who provides the rest of TAG Heuer’s movements?
ETA
Who? The giant of Swiss movement manufacturers that started life as the Ebauche business of Eterna watches. When Swiss laws in the 1930s mandated that you could not make complete watches and movements, Eterna split into two companies- Eterna Watches and ETA. ETA then because part of the giant Swiss watch components group AUSAG, which eventually became Swatch. Swatch then decided to integrate its many movement brands ( including ETA, ESA, Lemania, Valjoux and Unitas) into a single brand- ETA. This is the reason that the Valjoux 7750 movement of the 1970s is now known as the ETA 7750.
The strategic direction of ETA has perhaps been the major driver towards changes in the movement market- more on this later.
In which watch? Across the range- Calibre 1, 2, 5, 6, 7, 12, 11, 16, 17 and 60 (discontinued)
Sellita
Who? Swiss owned company who for decades have worked on complications and decorations for a range of clients, including ETA. Now that several of the ETA patents have expired, Sellita have started to manufacture clones of the ETA original design, with a few changes (and extra jewel here and there) of SW-200 (ETA 2824-2), SW-500 (Valjoux/ ETA 7750)and SW-300 (ETA 2892). While its true that many people prefer the idea of an ETA movement to a Sellita clone, the reality is that Sellita have more than enough technical skill and experience to manufacture these movements to the same level of quality as as ETA. Remember, these are + 20-year old designs, and so the secrets of manufacturing these movements properly are well-known.
You might think of Sellita as producing “cheap” versions of ETA movements- not so. In some cases Sellita is able to charge a premium over ETA as the demand for movements in recent years has out-stripped supply.
In which watch? Some Calibre 5 models, including Aquaracer 500m watch.
Zenith
Who? Zenith is better known as a watch brand that is also part of LVMH. What you may not know is that late last year TAG Heuer and Zenith merged from a corporate perspective, with TAG Heuer CEO Jean-Christophe Babin ultimately responsible for both companies. Zenith make one of the finest chronograph movements the world has seen- the venerable El Primero automatic chronograph.
There is a great story to the El Primeo. The Zenith Radio Corporation that owned Zenith watches decided in 1975 to end production of all Zenith mechanical movements and switch to quartz only. The directive from Head Office was to scrap all the machines and tools used for the production of automatic movements. The story goes that Zenith watchmaker Charles Vermot (below) began to hide the essential El Primero tools and components, including the cutting tools, presses and machines.
