It also looks really f-ing good on Ryan Gosling’s wrist – and there's more sightings to come next month apparently. TAG Heuer celebrates the 60th anniversary of its iconic Carrera with the release of two 39mm three-register chronographs, the TAG Heuer Carrera Chronograph 39mm Glassbox.
The faceted logs are sexy as, and the overall silhouette feels fresh and modern while still in keeping with the OG from 1963. The TAG Heuer Carrera Date 39mm and the Day Date 41mm feature either sunray-snailed or sunray-brushed dials dependent on the dial colour selected. Sophisticated, strong, and technical, this modern sports watch is the most elegant expression of the TAG Heuer Carrera, ready for every occasion. Like a new TH20 movement inside and a re-designed 39mm ‘glassbox’ case design in blue or a reverse-panda white on black version? At £5,600, the two options negate any complaint of there being too much choice and instead focus on the watchmaking skills used to craft it and the sapphire crystal that’s pushed to the very edge of the case so that the tachymeter scale is legible from all angles. The Carrera has spawned more than 500 references in 60 years so devising a way to make it feel new and relevant required something extra special. A revealer of ones personality, this sophisticated, strong, and technical TAG Heuer Carrera is ready for every occasion. Yes, it shares its name with a much-fancied Porsche but it has an identity and a history in a league of the likes of Patek’s Nautilus, Rolex’s Daytona, Breitling’s Navitimer, Cartier’s Tank, Omega’s Speedmaster and AP’s Royal Oak.
No beating around the bush, the Carrera is among the most recognisable watches ever created.
