It has a column wheel. Look here https://www.watchfreeks.com/115-watch-movements/6270-eta-s-2894-really-column-wheel-chronograph.html

Myself, I remain on the outside as to the over-development of Homage pieces to which the Brand has become overly dependent. I have always believed there is great synergy in the Timepiece and Auto Industry, passed brands deciding what alternative Automobile matches this years marketing stratagem. No less than Bob Lutz, once looking at the re-birth of the ’68 Mustang as the template, indicated though short term #’s can be achieved, the evolution is limited to what has just been re-created, sadly, and more recently in November of 2017, he predicted the end of the Car Industry as a whole, in slightly more than one generation! That said, with today’s announcement by Jean Claude Biver of his stepping aside in his daily responsibilities, this too should re-open the door for TAG-Heuer to re-direct the Brand and capitalize on Mechanical and Digital achievements in the measurement of time. Short Term, there is a need for a New or re-born Hero Collection, from what was S/EL (from whence the Link evolved, but dropped the Rotating Bezel and diminishing the iconic Brand identifying Bracelet design), the architecturally beautiful, but arguably too small at its birth ‘6000’, as well as Aquagraph, where a Collection of 3-4 Cases (SS, Black, Bronze and Bi-Color) Bracelet and Rubber become a Collection that allows TAG-Heuer to re-capture real estate lost, and not be simply the ‘Cash-cow’ to subsidize Zenith and the mono-look Hublot, as well as Christian Dior and Bulgari. Change is good, if it allows growth through fresh ideas and non-group think!
