Tag Heuer Carrera Skipper for Hodinkee

Why We Love It The Carrera was one of Jack Heuer’s most passionate projects, and his design ethos for this watch can be summed up in one word: legibility. Jack wanted a watch that was stylish and functional - a watch that gives you everything you need and nothing you don’t. In June of 2017, TAG Heuer and HODINKEE collaborated and released a contemporary iteration of the widely sought after Heuer "Skippererra" reference 7754 from the 1960's. Unlike the original, this take features a 39mm stainless steel case and preserves proportions from a past age, despite its advanced automatic Calibre 18 movement, visible through the sapphire caseback. Featured with a sunburst blue dial, a wonderful contrasting sub-dial in the original color configuration, and a date display in the 3:00 position. This is as crisp as it gets. Released in 2017 with a limited production of 125 pieces, this a rare opportunity to own one of the coolest Carreras of the past several decades! The Story When it comes to the story of this particular piece, who better to tell you than HODINKEE.
