Set to be unveiled at Baselworld 2018 next month, the TAG Heuer Carrera Heuer 02 collection shows off familiar lines and some interesting updates, including a new (to this line) caliber and four stunning versions. But first, let’s talk size. TAG Heuer’s new chronograph displays a sleek 43 mm case, with the brand’s impressive CH80 movement making a strong comeback into the Carrera collection.
But the Heuer 02 is not just any chronograph watch. It has everything you would expect from a high-end mechanical chronograph, with a column wheel and a vertical clutch, yet it comes at highly competitive prices.
The compact vertical clutch that goes inside the TAG Heuer 02 caliber promises a smooth operation, while the 75-hour power reserve should be more than enough for anyone. The 43 mm case also carries on TAG Heuer’s modular construction, and each unit is going to be water-resistant to 100 meters.
Design-wise, the TAG Heuer Carrera Heuer 02 now features a 3-6-9 sub-dial layout, which is very appealing. Available with a solid 18k 5N rose gold bezel, solid gold lugs and a black PVD case profile, this watch will be priced at $12,500, while the ceramic-cased version, on a full ceramic bracelet, will retail for $6,550, and the steel versions with a ceramic bezel will set you back $5,500. Which one would you go for?
