TAG Heuer - Carrera Porsche Chronograph Special Edition

TAG Heuer is launching the new Carrera Porsche Chronograph Special Edition ref. CBN2A1F. It retails at €5500 with strap or €5700 with steel bracelet

TAG Heuer is launching today the new Carrera Porsche Chronograph Special Edition 44 mm Calibre Heuer 02 Automatic, a timepiece available in two variations - with leather strap or steel bracelet - to celebrate the new partnership between the Swiss brand and Porsche, the legendary Stuttgart-based sportscar manufacturer (you can read more about the alliance in this article).

Based on TAG Heuer’s Carrera Sport Chronograph design launched in 2020, the new model introduces a number of features directly inspired by Porsche’s design essence.

The lines of the 44 mm x 15.27 mm steel case are highlighted by alternating polished and satin-brushed surfaces. 

Porsche’s engraved inscription with the typical font is visible on the black ceramic bezel. The asphalt effect used for the dial wants to remark the passion for the road that unites the two brands. The large Arabic numerals used for the 5-minute markers suggest the numbers on the dashboard of Porsche sportscars.

Incorporated throughout the watch, the black, grey and red colours emphasise the sport DNA of the watch.

The new model can be matched to a black calf leather strap whose hand stitching echoes the Porsche interiors or to the typical H-shape bracelet in stainless steel. Both are secured to the wrist by a folding clasp with double safety push-buttons.

The engine - the self-winding Calibre Heuer 02 manufacture movement - is visible through the transparent crystal case back. Printed with “Porsche” and “TAG Heuer”, the oscillating mass has been redesigned in tribute to Porsche’s steering wheel. 

Beating at 28,000 vibrations per hour, this chronograph movement equipped with vertical clutch and column wheel  guarantees a remarkable power reserve of 80 hours.

The TAG Heuer Carrera Porsche Chronograph Special Edition ref. CBN2A1F.FC6492 with leather strap retails at Euro 5,500 while the ref. CBN2A1F.BA0643 with steel bracelet has a price of Euro 5,700. The new models are immediately available. tagheuer.com
