Tag Heuer Carrera – Inspired by racing
The Tag Heuer Carrera, which was first released in 1963, is the ideal timepiece for those who have both petrol in their veins and a strong sense of style. Clearly inspired by racing, the modern watch is dressed in a sporty garb that is by no means lacking in elegance and sophistication. It evokes associations with the vastness of the racetrack, daring, bold driving maneuvers and the work of high-performance engines, and packages these impressions in an astonishingly elegant design whose individual components exude pure high quality.
Technical details of the Carrera Calibre 5
Depending on the reference, the Carrera watches equipped with the Calibre 5 movement are enhanced by either a date display at the 6 o'clock point or a date and day of the week display at the 3 o'clock point. The tried and tested Calibre 5 movement is a precise automatic calibre with a 38-hour power reserve that the wearer can rely on 100%.
Waterproof up to 100 meters, the Tag Heuer Carrera Calibre 5 is fully up to the challenges of everyday life. The readability remains excellent even when night falls. This is because the hands and indices are coated with luminous material and bathe the dial in an atmospheric light in the dark.
Top-class sportiness: The Carrera Calibre 5 model selection
Visually, the Carrera Calibre 5 walks the fine line between an elegant dress watch and a functional sports watch. The shiny, no-frills dial, the straight-lined indices and the luminous hands emphasize the sporty side of the luxury watch, which is particularly evident in the models with a stainless steel bracelet. Combined with a leather strap, the elegant undertones of the timepiece come to the fore and the modern sportiness increasingly mixes with classic chic.
Anyone who wants to add a Carrera Calibre 5 to their collection not only has to decide for or against the day of the week display, but also between numerous references with different color schemes and material choices. For example, there are the models with a silver dial and stainless steel strap, which take the tone-on-tone look to the extreme. In contrast, some references skilfully play with contrasts and, for example, showcase rose gold indices on a deep black dial. The versions with a dial in shimmering blue, on the other hand, act as a splash of color in the collection without appearing obtrusive or garish.
Overall, the diversity of the Carrera Calibre 5 collection lies in the details, such as the dial color or the material used to make the strap, while the main components remain consistent in their strong sportiness. This makes the Tag Heuer Carrera Calibre 5 collection a coherent collection of products whose subtle undertones and individual facets simultaneously serve different tastes.
