Hands-On: The New TAG Heuer Carrera Chronograph

Meet the new lead ship in the armada of Carrera chronographs.

Recently, TAG Heuer has introduced its new Carrera Chronograph, the "lead ship" of a new range of chronographs that is likely to be with us for many years. While brands like TAG Heuer introduce new versions and executions with some frequency, the introduction of a new model is a special event. TAG Heuer introduced the Calibre 1887 Carrera chronograph in 2010, and the Heuer 01 Carrera chronograph in 2015, and has now added two new models to its catalog.

The Carreras have always been defined by their clean dials, and the newest Carrera is true to this approach. The applied metal TAG Heuer shield at the top of the dial pairs nicely with the printed "Carrera," and the "Heuer 02" and "80 Hours" printed at the bottom of the dial create an additional focal point.

This is the movement’s first appearance in a classically styled regular production Carrera, but the technical specs remain the same from previous, more specialized offerings.

With the new Carrera Chronograph models, TAG Heuer has taken a major step forward in moving the regular production Carrera line upmarket, presenting a much more serious threat to segment competitors than before.
