Baselworld 2013: TAG Heuer CARRERA Calibre 36 Chronograph Flyback
The new standard-bearer of classic Carrera sportiness
Four other flyback chronographs are part of the new TAG Heuer Carrera collection, each a showcase of TAG Heuer design and finishing.
The unique double-scale dial design is directly inspired by vintage Heuer stopwatches, with a large external scale (in silver or black depending of the model) for at-a-glance viewing of chronograph seconds. Hours and minutes are indicated on the anthracite sunray internal part, which is highlighted by the small second counter at 9 o’clock, the chronograph minutes indication at 3 and the date at 6.
The subtle finishes pay tribute to the 36,000 beats per hours frequency of the movement. The case is a showcase of high-end Swiss craftsmanship: fine-brushed on the side of the case and top of the horns; and mirror polished for sharp edges, which give a balanced mix of sportiness and refinement . The caseback is in scratch-resistant sapphire crystal. The new “H-shaped” bracelet design, in fine brushed and polished multifaceted steel, is superbly ergonomic. It is also available with a black alligator strap.
Masculine, sober and sporty in anthracite and silver or anthracite and black, with just a touch of fire red on the chronograph and small second hands, these are classic Carreras--exemplary new additions to an iconic line.
