A Clue for You!!

We are running out of questions and I fear that "losing" will be difficult for the community, so here is a big clue -- the TAG Heuer Spirotechnique, a relative of my new (old) watch. Remember that mine is a French automatic dive watch, that is not a Heuer.

: I am wearing the newest arrival, and have got to say that it is
: an absolute killer!!

: So let's play "Twenty Questions", to see whether you guys
: can identify this watch.

: Quick recap of the rules: You can ask yes / no questions, and I
: will answer "yes" or "no". If you ask 20
: questions, and you have not identified the watch, then I win;
: identify it in 20 or fewer questions, and you win. Best strategy
: (for you) is to start with very broad questions (such as,
: "is it a chronograph?" or "is it vintage?").
: Worst strategy is to begin with questions that are too specific
: (for example, "Is it a Mark 3 Siffert?") Please play
: nicely, and let everyone have a go at asking the questions. The
: prize: The collective thrill of winning!!

: My advisors on this purchase [you know who you are!!] are not
: eligible to play, but you definitely deserve some sort of prize
: for pushing me towards a fantastic watch!!

: Let the game begin!!
