The Top Five Tag Heuer Carrera Watches

The Tag Heuer Carrera model is more than just another revived line in the range of Tag Heuer watches; it is its best today. Since its revival in 1996, the Tag Heuer Carrera has pushed style and luxury beyond the company’s boundaries and gained a position among high-end men watches. It is so outstanding that it is the inspiration behind the Tag Heuer Mikro model. And, it is far from done producing new designs and styles.

Although the Tag Heuer Carrera stands out as a model, it is very diverse as it has many unique watches to its name. Every watch in its line is undoubtedly impressive, but five stand out for their brilliance. Here are the top five Tag Heuer Carrera that will set you apart from the rest.

Tag Heuer Carrera Calibre 1887 Automatic Chronograph Carbon

Do not let the title mislead you, the Tag Heuer Carrera Calibre 1887 Automatic Chronograph Carbon is every bit modern. It is the watch’s movement that has a design dating back to the 1880s. However, it does have a classic look to it. The Tag Heuer Carrera Calibre 1887 Automatic Chronograph Carbon is conveniently light and affordable as its case is made of carbon fiber.

What’s more, the carbon fiber is reinforced to make it strong and durable, and its polished finish makes it feel smooth to the touch. The sleek feel is further complemented by a polished, scratch-resistant sapphire glass. Coupled with alligator leather straps, this watch is compact yet elegant.

The dial is black and detailed, unlike other Tag Heuer Carrera tourbillon watches on the list. It hosts three counters: a 30-minute sub-dial at the 9 o’clock position, 12-hour sub-dial at the 3 o’clock position, and seconds sub-dial at the 6 o’clock position.

There is also a date window at the 6 o’clock position. What’s more, the tachymeter stands out for the boldly printed minutes and seconds, and this goes a long way in adding to the watch’s compact appearance.

Tag Heuer Car2112.fc6267

The Tag Heuer Car2112.fc6267 has a simple and vintage look about it. It is not as detailed as other watches in the list, but it does wonders with its combination of silver and brown colors. To start with, the case is made of polished stainless steel that gives it a flashy appearance. The dial and straps, on the other hand, feature a light hue of brown and are responsible for that unique vintage look and feel.

The dial is neat and detailed; it features a 30-minute sub-dial at the 12 o’clock position and a 12-hour sub- dial at the 6 o’clock position. It also features a date window located at the 6 o’clock position. And, in addition to the detailed tachymeter, the watch also features a unique movement decorated with a cotes de geneve engraving.

Tag Heuer Carrera Heuer-02T Tourbillon

The Tag Heuer Carrera Heuer-02T Tourbillon is made from the concept of the Tag Heuer CH-80 Chronograph. It bares much of the elegance of the CH-80, but it also comes with a unique look and feel that give it its unmistakable identity. The case is made of a combination of titanium and carbon fiber, which makes the Tag Heuer Carrera Heuer- 02T Tourbillon feel comfortable and light on the wrist.
