Year of the TAG Heuer Carrera

Cheap Tag Heuer Replica recently re-introduced the Carrera Chronograph – a set of 1960s inspired in-house automatic chronographs. The new collection is somewhat a return to form for the brand and will likely remain a staple for years to come.

Measuring 41.7 mm by 14.4 mm (48.2 mm lug-to-lug), the Carrera Chronograph is by no means a dainty watch. It does however wear smaller than its measurements would suggest, due to the thin polished bezel and short, wrist-hugging lugs.

All in stainless-steel, there’s two bracelet variants with black and blue opaline dials, and two on leather, one with an Anthracite sunray brushed dial and the other with a silver opaline dial and rose-gold plated hands, hour-markers and TAG Heuer Replica Watches Online applied logo.

Dial

With registers at the 3,6 and 9 o’clock positions – indicating minutes, running seconds and chronograph hours, respectively. The Most Successful TAG Heuer Replica shield positioned below a heavily inked “CARRERA” at 12 o’clock and the words “HEUER 02” and “80 HOURS” between the 7 and 6 o’clock and 6 and 5 o’clock hour markers, impart a sense of balance and symmetry.

TAG Heuer’s Carrera Chronographs have always erred on the side of clean, unfussy dial designs. And anyway, the Calibre Heuer 02 Automatic is an excellent movement; 80 hours of power reserve is definitely something to celebrate for a watch designed to accompany you throughout the week.

Above the Swiss Tag Heuer Replica Watches stubby 6 o’clock hour marker there’s a stepped date-window and an open-crosshair running seconds subdial. Had the pursuits called all the shots it’s unlikely we’d see the inclusion of the date-window.

Being at 6 though is markedly better than at 4 – and while it’s never easy to cleanly integrate a date-window, TAG Heuer have done an admirable job in pulling off an information rich dial while keeping it clean and legible. Overall, it’s a considerable improvement on the High Quality Carrera Chronograph Replica, which looks unbalanced in comparison.

Indices are rhodium-plated and applied, hands are also rhodium-plated with the hour and minute hands coated in white Super-LumiNova. In line with the silver-dial Heuer Carrera that was originally launched in 1963, all new Carrera Chronographs feature crisp tachymeter scales – a useful addition used to measure speed.

Movement

The Carrera Chronograph houses the Calibre Heuer 02 Automatic – a brilliant movement TAG Heuer Famous Replica Watch built from scratch. Measuring 31 mm in diameter and 6.9 mm high, the 168-component 02 Automatic has a fully integrated architecture with column-wheel and vertical clutch, beats at 28,800 vph and has a single barrel deliver an impressive 80 hours power-reserve. The 02 Automatic also conveniently offers a quick-set date, hacking seconds and has a bidirectional winding rotor.

Case & Bracelet

The Tag Heuer Artistic Replica Watch has an elegant polished and fine-brushed stainless-steel case, with angled lugs, twin stainless steel chrono pushers, a stainless-steel screw-down sapphire case back and a domed and bevelled sapphire crystal dial with a double anti-reflective coating. While intended as a casual everyday watch, the Carrera Chronograph is also conveniently water-resistant to 100 metres.

The bracelet models come with a stainless-steel H-shaped bracelet and have a folding clasp with double safety push buttons. The Fake Tag Heuer Sale two leather variants come on brown alligator straps and like their bracelet siblings, have a stainless-steel folding clasp with double safety push buttons.
