Calibre 5

If asked to name a watch that stands for racing like almost no other, many connoisseurs would certainly name the Tag Heuer Carrera immediately. The Calibre 5 models in the large collection impress with practical, harmoniously integrated functions and a sporty, urban look that authentically expresses a love of racing.

Tag Heuer Carrera - Inspired by racing

The Tag Heuer Carrera, which was first released in 1963, presents itself as the ideal timepiece for all those who have both petrol in their blood and a pronounced sense of style. Clearly inspired by motor racing, the modern watch is dressed in a sporty guise 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 wraps these impressions in an astonishingly elegant design whose individual components radiate pure high quality.

Technical details of the Carrera Caliber 5

Carrera watches equipped with the Calibre 5 movement are enhanced by either a date display at the 6 o'clock position or a date and weekday display at the 3 o'clock position, depending on the reference. The tried-and-tested Calibre 5 movement is a precise automatic caliber with a 38-hour power reserve that the wearer can rely on 100%.

Water-resistant to 100 meters, the Tag Heuer Carrera Calibre 5 is fully up to the challenges of everyday life. Readability remains excellent even when night falls. This is because the hands and indices are equipped 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 treads the fine line between elegant dress watch and functional sports watch. The blank, no-frills dial, the straightforward indices and the luminous hands emphasize the sporty side of the luxury watch, which is particularly prominent in the models on the stainless steel bracelet. Combined with a leather strap, the elegant undertones of the timepiece come to the fore and modern sportiness increasingly blends with classic chic.

If you want to add a Carrera Calibre 5 to your collection, you not only have to decide for or against the day of the week display, but also between numerous references with different color designs and materials. For example, there are the models with a silver dial and stainless steel bracelet, which take the tone-on-tone look to the extreme. In contrast, some references skillfully 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 being obtrusive or garish.

Overall, the diversity of the Carrera Calibre 5 collection lies in the details, such as the dial color or the material from which the bracelet is made, while the main components remain consistently the same 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 cater to different tastes.
