About the TAG Heuer Carrera Collection
Introduced in 1963 by Jack Heuer, the TAG Heuer Carrera quickly became a renowned name in luxury chronographs, drawing inspiration from the Carrera Panamericana—an iconic road race in Mexico famed for its speed and intensity. The name embodies the watch’s emphasis on precision, readability, and high performance. While initially designed for motorsport enthusiasts, the Carrera gained widespread recognition for its clear, practical design, appealing to a broader audience.
Classic Elegance
The 1963 Carrera debuted with a minimalist appearance, inspired by mid-century design icons like Eames and Le Corbusier. Building on this legacy, the Carrera Chronograph Extreme Sport features a bold blend of titanium, ceramic, and gold, offering a rugged yet sophisticated look. The Carrera Chronograph x Porsche collection continues this evolution, celebrating motorsport heritage with streamlined steel and ceramic designs that echo racing car aesthetics. The Carrera Sailing Complications collection underscores TAG Heuer's long-standing connection to yachting with vibrant dials and the unique 'Glass Box' case. Meanwhile, the Carrera Date collection merges classic elegance with contemporary style, highlighted by 18-carat rose gold, diamonds, and a selection of vivid dial colours.
Innovation At Its Best
The collection showcases impressive technical features, such as the Carrera Chronograph Extreme Sport, powered by the TH20-09 tourbillon movement with a 65-hour power reserve. The Chronograph x Porsche models are equipped with the calibre Heuer 02, offering precise timekeeping and durability. For those passionate about sailing, the Sailing Complications models feature the calibre Heuer 02, complete with a bi-directional winding system and an 80-hour power reserve. The Carrera Date and Day-Date collections utilise the calibre 5 automatic movement, delivering reliable timekeeping, a date display, and 100m water resistance. The Carrera 60th Anniversary Limited Edition honours six decades of the Carrera with a classic panda dial, a larger case, and improved readability through updated Super-LumiNova.
ABOUT THE MOVEMENT
TAG Heuer watches are highly respected in the industry for their exceptional durability, which is evident in both their construction and mechanism. The Calibre 16 is a self-winding mechanical movement that powers TAG Heuer watches such as the Formula 1, Carrera, and Aquaracer. It is a robust tri-compax chronograph calibre with a vertical configuration based on the renowned ETA 7750 or its Sellita equivalent, SW500. The Calibre 16 harnesses the strength of a cam-actuated mechanism to enhance its chronograph functions, allowing it to measure elapsed time up to 30 minutes and 12 hours, as well as indicating running seconds. Operating at a rate of 28,800bph, this automatic movement provides a power reserve of 42 hours. Additionally, it features 25 jewels and supports a date complication.

Launched first in 1963, as a high-precision chronograph for race car drivers, the TAG Heuer Carrera has become one of the most recognizable product lines in horology over the last 50 years. Released in 2008, the Carrera Date Calibre 16 is today one of the most popular watches in the TAG Heuer range. It has an oversized 43 mm case and intricate movement with 1/100th second chronograph. It is the perfect watch for all occasions and is the ultimate leader, whether it be for sports recreation or high class business appeal. What struck me was its durability coupled with the understated yet bold design. A sporty watch, yet elegant and simple. Simply the perfect TAG if you have to own one.

The Tag Heuer Carrera CV model is iconic to the Carrera line - maybe their most identified model along with the Monaco. Its high functionality and masculine styling make this Calibre 16 Automatic Chronograph a necessity for all lovers of motor racing. A high-tech Calibre 16 automatic movement powers the chronograph functions like central seconds, plus minutes and hours. A tachymeter scale on the bezel gives average speed measurement and the sapphire crystal fitted into the caseback reveals the movement in action. The movement is tried and true and the looks are very versatile.
