Swiss luxury watchmaker TAG Heuer further strengthens the Carrera collection's connection to motorsport with the new TAG Heuer Carrera Calibre Heuer-02 Chronograph, featuring a striking combination of black and yellow gold inspired by the brand's iconic racing colors.
The TAG Heuer Carrera Chronograph is a legendary chronograph worn by Formula 1's greatest teams and drivers. Since its launch in 1963, the Carrera's timeless design has been reinterpreted in countless masterpieces. Within the TAG Heuer Carrera collection, the yellow gold model stands out from the rest. With its sophisticated deep black dial, the 2022 gold model continues the rich lineage of this legendary racing watch.
The TAG Heuer Carrera Chronograph was designed for the race track, featuring a clean, legible dial, sleek lines, and a powerful movement. The Heuer Reference 1158CHN, the first automatic model in yellow gold, was introduced in 1970 and was a favorite of then-CEO Jack Heuer. Jack's strategy of gifting the Carrera to many of his race-winning drivers quickly made it an essential symbol of success on the grid. Named after the most famous racing car from the heyday of motorsports and embodying the racing spirit of the 1970s, the Carrera collection remains highly sought after by fans and collectors alike.
TAG Heuer has further expanded on this unique legacy with an unprecedented design featuring a black dial with gold-plated subdials, reversing the dial color of the famous Reference 1158CHN. Enthusiasts may also be familiar with the legendary John Player Special Livery, a black and gold colorway that was worn by Formula 1 cars of the 1970s and 1980s. TAG Heuer ambassador and World Champion Ayrton Senna also wore this world-famous livery on his Lotus 98T early in his illustrious racing career.
This special edition celebrates Senna's early racing career as one of the brand's most important ambassadors, while strikingly expressing TAG Heuer's enduring support and love for motorsport with this timeless chronograph. The classic 42mm 18K yellow gold case features 18K yellow gold pushers and crown. The rich black sunray-finish dial lends refined depth and a delicate play of light and shadow to the wrist.
The dial features azure-finish gold-plated subdials at 3 and 9 o'clock, contrasting with the deep black. A discreet permanent seconds counter and date window at 6 o'clock complete the harmonious Tricopax layout. Polished 18K yellow gold-plated indexes and hands enhance the dial's legibility and elegance.
The sapphire crystal case back allows for viewing of the movement and its black-decorated rotor. The TAG Heuer Carrera Calibre Heuer 02 Chronograph is equipped with the Calibre Heuer 02, an in-house chronograph movement. Featuring a vertical clutch and column wheel, it ensures excellent precision and performance, with a power reserve of approximately 65 hours. This model is presented on a black alligator strap with a gold pin buckle.
The black and gold design is as appealing today as it was in the 1970s. Capturing all the excitement, glamour and thrill of racing from decades ago, it remains true to Jack Heuer's vision and is a modern piece that exudes confidence, individuality, elegance and sophistication.
The TAG Heuer Carrera Calibre Heuer 02 Chronograph will be available in TAG Heuer boutiques and the official online boutique (https://www.tagheuer.com) from November 17, 2022.
