TAG Heuer Carrera Calibre 16 Day-Date Watch Ref. CV2A10.FC6235 automatic Full Set 43 mm

The basics

The TAG Heuer Carrera chronograph was launched in 1962 in the paddock and pit area of the "12 Hours of Sebring", where Jack Heuer, who was present as the official timekeeper, first heard about the famous Mexican race "Carrera Panamericana". This race, also called "Pan-Am", has been considered particularly dangerous since its inception.

This chronograph pays tribute to the decisive contributions made by TAG Heuer in the field of automobile timekeeping, and its partnerships with the greatest automobile manufacturers. Important innovations include the Time of Trip (1911), the first on-board chronograph for automobiles; the Mikrograph (1916), the first sports counter accurate to 1/100th of a second; and the Autavia (1933), the first 12-hour on-board counter for the automotive and aviation industries.

The priority of the Carrera collection has always been absolute legibility, an obsession of Jack Heuer. It was this focus on legibility and precision that made the Carrera an instant success, embraced by watch and motorsport enthusiasts alike, and acclaimed for its timeless design and sleek style. Relaunched in 1996 and completely reinterpreted in 2002, the Carrera is one of TAG Heuer's most emblematic creations. It has been worn by hundreds of drivers, including Juan Manuel Fangio, Kimi Räikkönen and Lewis Hamilton.
