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 the 2020s is powered by the automatic TAG Heuer Calibre 7 movement and is finished in a 39mm yellow gold case. It features a sapphire display caseback, a sunburst silver dial with applied indices and a matching handset, and comes paired to a black alligator leather strap with a signed yellow gold pin buckle. Although slightly larger than its forefathers, this piece retains the traditional Carrera case shape as a modernized interpretation of the classic.

In excellent condition, this watch even comes with most of its ephemera.

If you are unsure about going down the vintage route but still desire a classically styled watch with some added modern accouterments, this TAG Heuer Carrera should be in your sights!
