Tag Heuer Launch Two Formula 1 x Mario Kart

Mario Kart is a way of life. Whether it’s on SNES, N64, Wii or Switch, the Italian plumber and his coterie of colourful friends have occupied our attention as they smack each other with bananas since 1992. The choice to pay homage to this iconic racing game with one of Tag Heuer Replica Watches raciest chronographs is inspired.

Tag Heuer Formula 1 X Mario Kart Chronograph

The Tag Heuer Formula 1 X Mario Kart Chronograph Replica has a 44mm diameter case made of stainless steel with a shiny black ceramic, tachymeter bezel. There are also red lacquer lines around the pusher at 2 o’clock and the crown in reference to Mario’s signature colour. However, the most obvious reference is the M logo emblazoned on the crown itself.

Of course, the Mario theme continues in force across the watch’s dial. It features a finish line checkerboard pattern and Mario himself sits in his kart at the top of the small seconds subdial. Additionally, several date numerals have been replaced with items and symbols that will be instantly recognisable to players.

On the back of the watch, you’ll find a commemorative caseback bearing an engraving of Mario in his kart along with the game’s logo. Underneath said caseback is the Cheap Tag Heuer Replica Calibre 16 automatic chronograph movement. It’s based on the ETA 7750 and has a power reserve of 42-hours.

Tag Heuer Formula 1 x Mario Kart Chronograph Tourbillon

The Most Exquisite Luxury Tag Heuer Replica Watches has a slightly larger case than the regular chrono version at 45mm, making it a substantial chunk of metal. Fortunately, it’s made of super lightweight titanium so it shouldn’t be too uncomfortable on the wrist. The case is completed by a black ceramic bezel with a tachymeter that can be used to calculate speeds of up to 400km/h, which means it can actually keep up with F1 cars.

As for the dial, the tourbillon is more complex than its counterpart as it’s partially skeletonised with a gear wheel design at 12 o’clock and the titular tourbillon on display at 6 o’clock. Naturally, the Tag Heuer Replica Swiss Made doesn’t escape the Mario-ification with its three spokes featuring Mario with a bullet bill and the infamous spiny blue shell in perpetual chase. If the plumber’s in first place, he won’t be for long.

Powering the tourbillon is the Cheap Tag Heuer Replica Calibre Heuer 02T COSC, an automatic movement with a 65-hour power reserve. It’s visible through the exhibition sapphire caseback, unlike the solid caseback on the regular edition there’s no Mario engraving here but the game’s logo is still present.

TAG Heuer Formula 1 x Mario Kart Chronograph Replica Watches Online

There is a certain amount of nostalgia inherently associated with watches, and brands like TAG Heuer Replica Watches Online are acutely aware of this. Whether it be the romanticized art of traditional horology, or simply remembering the days when we didn’t have dozens of screens shouting alerts at us when we only want to know the time. It is part of why many of us love watches. They give us a special feeling that our day-to-day lives don’t provide. For some, it’s the thrill of adventure, diving, or driving embodied on their wrist, but, these experiences aren’t limited solely to watches.

They feature bold colors and textures in a robust tool-watch package. However, the longer you look, the more you begin to notice the “easter eggs” that make these quirky chronographs bring a smile to your face. Both Cheap Tag Heuer Replica share the modified tonneau-style case of the Heuer Autavia 1163. The cases are topped by a fixed gear-toothed tachymeter bezel with a polished black ceramic insert emblazoned with “Mario Kart” and are filled with Swiss Super-LumiNova®. The inserts are graduated to 400 kph and 240 kph for the tourbillon and standard chronographs respectively. Dark asphalt gray dials with red and white accents (primarily) are present on both models; however, this is where the similarities end.

The smaller, albeit still-large High Quality Tag Heuer Formula 1 Chronograph Replica comes in a 44mm-wide stainless steel case, with a solid steel caseback, and a checkered texture dial the brand states is inspired by a racetrack but has a stamped carbon-fiber look, in reality. A familiar Calibre 16 vertical chronograph display is present with the minute totalizer at 12 o’clock, hour totalizer at 6 o’clock, and running seconds subdial at 9 o’clock.

The Calibre 16 is an automatic chronograph that operates at 4 Hz (28,800 vph) and has a 42-hour power reserve and this limited edition has a water resistance rating of 200 meters. The Tag Heuer Replica Watches screw-down crown has a bright red lacquered Mario ‘M’ and a matching lacquer ring around the 2 o’clock pusher. The same M can be found on the deployant clasp without the lacquer filling. The solid steel caseback features an engraved Mario racer silhouette similar to that on the seconds subdial and limited-edition text.

While the standard chronograph is punchy, unique, and entertaining, the chronograph tourbillon replica is where the real fun can be found. Rendered in a 45mm-wide grade 5 titanium case, it is surprisingly wearable. Both watches may look fairly unwieldy on my small 6.5” wrist, but the tourbillon felt much more manageable due to the weight reduction benefits of titanium.

The crown has the same lacquered “M” found on the standard chronograph variant and is made of steel along with the pushers. The pushers provide a crisp and tactile activation of the red lacquered seconds hand. A black skeletonized dial features vibrant red bevels that give way to a matte asphalt-gray plate providing high contrast and depth. Behind a bright applied TAG Heuer Swiss Watches Replicas shield logo at 12 o’clock is a wheel motif reminiscent of the dial skeletonization. The real treat, of course, is the tourbillon.

Flipping the Luxury Tag Heuer Replica Watches over you are treated with an equally fun and impressible view of the movement through the sapphire caseback. A bright red column wheel stands out against the monochrome finish of the movement and the rotor features a deep engraving of Luigi, Mario, and Princess Peach in their Karts. This in-house chronograph tourbillon movement runs at 4Hz allowing a power reserve of 65 hours and is rated for 100 meters of water resistance.
