TAG Heuer Carrera Chronograph Extreme Sport
Three of the TAG Heuer Carrera Chronograph Extreme Sport models sport a Grade 2 titanium case with a ceramic bezel, and are available in three colourways: vibrant orange inspired by the heat and speed of the racetrack, cool blue which pays homage to TAG Heuer’s iconic colour, and a sleek black monochrome for a refined, elegant finish.
The final chronograph displays the watchmaker’s mastery of materials, crafted in Grade 2 titanium and 18ct rose gold for a luxurious, alluring aesthetic.
Fuelled by the calibre TH20-00, the chronograph movement powers a minute counter at 3 o’clock, a seconds counter at 6 o’clock, and an hour counter at 9 o’clock. The movement features a column wheel, vertical clutch, and new shield-shaped rotor, complete with a boast-worthy power reserve of 80 hours. Accompanied by a minute scale flange, tachymeter bezel, and water resistance of 100 m, it’s a certified winner for the racetrack and everyday wear.
TAG Heuer Carrera Chronograph Tourbillon Extreme Sport
A testament to the savoir-faire of the Swiss watchmaker, the TAG Heuer Carrera Chronograph Tourbillon Extreme Sport exudes horological excellence with the addition of a tourbillon complication. The first version boasts an all-black aesthetic, crafted in Grade 2 titanium, and the second gold version blends titanium with rich 18ct rose gold. Both models showcase a forged carbon tachymeter bezel, an advanced material with robust, lightweight properties, making it the perfect lightweight companion for the racetrack and beyond.
The calibre TH20-09 functions as the roaring engine, featuring a chronograph with a column wheel and vertical clutch, plus a new shield-shaped rotor, with the exceptional tourbillon complication ensuring its accuracy. The sapphire crystal openwork caseback allows for effortless observation of the movement; truly a treasure trove of meticulous engineering.
