TAG Heuer Carrera Calibre 6

The Carrera was one of Jack Heuer’s most passionate horological projects, the design ethos for which 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. And while original models were racing-inspired chronographs, the modern product line is far more diverse.  While first-generation Carreras were manually-wound, this iteration from circa the 2010s is powered by the automatic TAG Heuer Calibre 6 movement and features a 39mm stainless steel case. It features a sapphire display caseback, a white guilloche dial with applied blue indices and a matching blue sword handset, a signed crown, and comes paired to a navy blue alligator leather strap with a signed stainless steel pin buckle. Although slightly larger than its forefathers, this piece retains the traditional Carrera case shape as a modernized interpretation of the classic. If you are unsure about going down the vintage route but still desire a classically styled watch with some added modern accouterments, this Carrera should be in your sights!
