TAG Heuer boldly embraces its motorsports heritage, and rightly so. After all, many of Heuer’s most iconic models originated from innovations born at the racetrack, and the Carrera collection has stood as a testament to this enduring legacy since the 1960s. Just as cars have evolved since the 1960s, however, so has the Carrera, and the ref. CAR201V.BA0714 exemplifies this evolution flawlessly.
While the watch’s silhouette is somewhat reminiscent of more traditional watchmaking designs, its essence is thoroughly contemporary. Crafted from finely brushed steel, the case achieves an exceptional balance of sophistication and ruggedness. With a diameter of 43 mm, it occupies that elusive sweet spot of ergonomics, effortlessly complementing wrists of most sizes. The partly-skeletonized dial – surrounded by a sleek ceramic tachymeter bezel – clearly evokes the look of an exposed engine bay, further immersing the watch in the aesthetic of modern automotive design. This aesthetic extends to the chronograph pushers and even the color palette, leaving little room for doubt as to the Carrera’s purpose. Enhanced by a sturdy metal bracelet that continues the masterful finishing of the case, the watch not only looks impressive but also wears like a dream.
Inside, proudly showcased by the exhibition caseback, the Calibre HEUER01 is confidently ticking away, embodying the technological prowess TAG Heuer is renowned for.
