TAG Heuer Carrera Calibre 5 automatic watch silver dial black leather strap 39 mm

A short history

Inspired by the new design of the Carrera chronographs, TAG Heuer applies this design to the 3-hand versions. Launched in 1963, the Carrera is one of the first iconic lines designed by Jack Heuer. Over time, this collection has become iconic. Truly sporty and chic, it meets the founder's obsession with legibility in every respect.

The Carrera 3-hand Date under the microscope

An urban watch par excellence, the new Carrera is an everyday classic. Its new 39 mm steel case is timeless and elegant. It has refined lugs for better ergonomics, and its brushed finish gives it a sporty, racy look.
A fixed bezel in polished stainless steel is fixed above its domed sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating on both sides.

On this WBN2111.FC6505 with its silver satin-finish dial, TAG Heuer revisits its prestigious heritage by offering new, more refined hour markers that are closer to the origins of the Carrera collection. Finished in rhodium, like the hands, they reflect more light and are coated with Super-Luminova to ensure better legibility. Its date window is located at six o'clock, offering us a perfect symmetry of the dial.
A detail, but not the least, it is equipped with a black alligator leather strap with a folding clasp that reinforces its sporty character.

It's rare that aesthetics and functionality go together so well, but TAG Heuer proves the opposite with this model. A future must-have for sure.

Engine side

This TAG Heuer Carrera is ready to take on any challenge thanks to its Calibre 5. Demonstrating all the know-how of the Swiss company, this automatic movement offers incomparable precision, ensured by its high operating frequency (28,800 vibrations per hour). With a power reserve of about forty hours, it is known to enthusiasts as being very robust. Visible through a transparent sapphire caseback, it stands out thanks to its "Côte de Genève" decorated oscillating weight.

The Grey Man

The name may not ring a bell, but this is a new hero played by TAG Heuer ambassador Ryan Gosling. Available only on the Netflix platform, the film follows the life of The Grey Man, a reckless character who is equally at home at dinner parties and on the run. What better than a TAG Heuer Carrera Calibre 5 to follow the bravery of a hero whose life is decided by a handful of seconds ?
