TAG Heuer - Carrera Three Hands, new 2021 collection

TAG Heuer unveiled today the new generation of the Carrera Three Hands collection. TAG Heuer 2021 novelties. Prices start from Euro 2,200 .

TAG Heuer unveiled today the new generation of the Carrera Three Hands collection: 13 new timepieces characterised by an understated and elegant design and organised in four main versions fitting all uses and tastes: the Carrera Day Date 41 mm, the Carrera Date 39 mm, the Carrera Date 29 mm and a GMT model, the Carrera Twin-Time 41 mm.

Launched in the spring of 1963 at the Basel fair, the Carrera chronograph quickly became an international success and, probably, the most famous wristwatch of the brand. Taking its name from the legendary week-long "Carrera Panamericana" road race held in Mexico, the Heuer Carrera was expressly designed for drivers with ergonomics and legibility as priorities (you can read more about TAG Heuer and the Carrera in our feature article “The history of TAG Heuer”).

In the early 2000’s, the TAG Heuer Carrera Three Hands version was introduced earning acclaim for its perfect readability and clean design.

In 2021, the new TAG Heuer Carrera Three Hands collection revisits this rich heritage with a modern touch and adding refinement.

All the new references are offered in a stainless-steel case – twelve on a steel bracelet and one on a leather strap – with the choice of black, blue, white or silver dials featuring the revamped Carrera logo. 

The steel bracelets are equipped with the recently introduced H-shaped links, more ergonomic and comfortable on the wrist.

The Carrera Date 39 mm is fitted with a date at 6 o’clock while a thinner date frame has been designed for the Carrera Day Date 41 mm. 

Both models are powered by the highly reliable TAG Heuer Calibre 5 automatic movement that beats at the frequency of 4 Hz (28,800 vibrations per hour) and guarantees an autonomy of 38 hours. Prices start from Euro 2,550 / US$ 2,700 for the 39 mm and Euro 2,750 / US$ 2,900 for the 41 mm.

Measuring 29 mm in diameter, the smaller models are available with blue sunray-brushed  or mother-of-pearl dials, with or without diamonds.  The Carrera Date 29 mm is powered by the automatic Calibre 9 offering an autonomy of 40 hours. Prices start from Euro 2,200 / US$ 2,300.

Finally, we have the Carrera Twin-Time Date 41 mm with its blue sunray-brushed dial and bicolour flange (silver and blue) with 24-hour scale indicating day and night. 

Used in combination with the red-tipped GMT hand, it tells the time in a separate timezone. The dial is completed by the date aperture at 6 o’clock.

The watch is equipped with the TAG Heuer Calibre 7, a 4 Hz self-winding movement delivering about 50 hours of power reserve depending on the execution.  The retail price is Euro 3,000 / US$ 3,200.

Water resistance is 100 metres / 330 feet for all 13 models. tagheuer.com
