TAG Heuer: Carrera Sport Chronograph 160 Years Special Edition

Throughout 2020, TAG Heuer has commemorated its 160th anniversary with special editions of its signature Carrera collection. Following the launches of two TAG Heuer Carrera 160 Years watches – the Silver Dial and the Montreal Limited Editions – the Brand introduces the third and final watch in the series, the TAG Heuer Carrera Sport Chronograph 160 Years Special Edition. 

Inspired by the classic Heuer “Dato 45” from 1965 – the first Heuer wrist chronograph ever to feature a turning date disc – the new TAG Heuer Carrera Sport Chronograph 160 Years Special Edition was created in two versions, one with a blue dial and one with a white dial and with the date window positioned at 12 o’clock on the dial like its famous ancestor.

Both versions have a 44 mm steel case, applied rhodium-plated indexes and rhodium-plated hour and minute hands coated with white Super-LumiNova. The dial features a rhodium-plated TAG Heuer logo and is printed with the words “CARRERA HEUER 02 80 HOURS”. The highlight of this model is the aperture at 12 o’clock displaying the red date on a white background – a nod to the original Heuer 3147N “Dato 45”. The red date is complemented by a red lacquered central chronograph seconds hand and red motion lines in the 3 o’clock counter. The dial is protected by a domed and bevelled sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating on both sides.

Through the sapphire crystal caseback engraved with the words “ONE OF 1 860”, as the number of the limited edition, the new TAG Heuer Carrera Sport Chronograph 160 Years Special Edition unveils the in-house Calibre Heuer 02 with its specially dedicated 160th anniversary oscillating mass. This chronograph model is water-resistant to 100 metres, and is presented on a stainless-steel H-shaped bracelet with a folding clasp secured by double safety push buttons. (Price € 5.600) TAG HEUER CARRERA 160 YEARS ANNIVERSARY Calibre HEUER02 Automatic 44 mm
