TAG Heuer Carrera Calibre 16 Day-Date Titanium Ref CV2A84.FC6394 automatic Full Set 2017 43 mm

The basics

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

This chronograph therefore pays tribute to the decisive contributions made by TAG Heuer in the field of automobile timekeeping, and its partnerships with the greatest car 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 sectors.

The priority of the Carrera collection has always been absolute legibility, Jack Heuer's obsession. 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 styling. 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 even Lewis Hamilton.

Getting to know you

This Carrera chronograph reference CV2A84.FC6394 could well be the “Porsche” of chronograph watches. Elegant, sporty, reliable and robust. This version has a 43 mm black PVD titanium case, an unusual diameter for these 16 calibers. It features a bead-blasted black dial topped by a sapphire crystal and a tachometric bezel. What we like best are the beige, almost aged, applied steel hour-markers, echoing the design of automobile counters.

The chronograph's 6-9-12 vertical configuration and the day-date at 3 o'clock are a no-brainer for all watch enthusiasts! In fact, the Calibre 16 automatic calibre, designed after the famous 7750, offers renowned reliability that will defy the tests of time for many decades to come.
