TAG Heuer has never been shy about celebrating its motorsports heritage, and why should it be? After all, some of Heuer’s most iconic models trace their origins to technical innovations conceived at the racetrack – it makes sense that TAG would strive to live up to this prized legacy. Decades after the iconic Carrera made its debut, the brand is still keeping the Carrera collection alive, updating it to reflect the modern face of motorsports and the automobile industry. To put it simply, cars have come a long way since the 1960s, and so has the Carrera Heuer. The ref. CAR2A5A.FT6044 on offer here makes that quite easy to appreciate.
While the silhouette of the watch emulates the shapes associated with traditional watchmaking, almost everything else has been modernized. The case, for example, is fashioned out of Gold & PVD-covered titanium, which makes it exceptionally light and comfortable – there’s a reason that titanium is so often used in supercars, after all – and its size has been increased to an empowering 45 mm. The skeletonized dial, meanwhile, is somewhat reminiscent of an exposed V12 engine, which further grounds the watch in the aesthetic of contemporary automotive design. Thanks to the high-tech rubber strap, the Carrera Chronograph Heuer 01 wears just as well as it looks.
Inside, proudly displayed by the exhibition caseback, the Calibre Heuer 01 is confidently ticking away.
Our offering is in superb condition and comes in a full set of boxes and papers. Ticking per specs.
The watch is covered by 1 year of limited warranty from ChronoTimepieces.
