The Carrera was introduced in 1963 by Jack Heuer and saw many iterations throughout its production run. Notably, the model's focus was for automobile racing and featured a highly legible chronograph layout designed for timing land speeds. Today it is one of the brands most celebrated designs (now Tag Heuer) for its extensive racing pedigree and use with household names from Mario Andretti to Niki Lauda. 

In '96 Tag Heuer looked to their heritage reissue the Heuer Carrera as one of their first true heritage models. What ensued was a re-release that we have on offer here. It very well-executed, largely due to the proportions mirroring the vintage model and addition of acrylic crystal. The reference has become a bit of a cult classic and its easy to see why given its relative value compared to a top condition vintage example. This example on offer houses the gloss black dial and has remained in nice neo-vintage condition. The case appears unpolished with thick, even lugs, showing normal wear consistent with age. 

Dial: Is fantastic and mint with all luminous plots still present and full. Bezel: Very light wear. Hands: Are matching. Their tritium lume is stable. Case: Appears untouched with crisp edges and markings on it its caseback. Normal signs of use consistent with age. Correct pushers and signed crown. Bracelet: High quality Hodinkee strap in calf leather. Crystal: Has some scuffs but nothing distracting enough to warrant changing for now. Accessories: NA The movement is running well on our timegrapher and comes with our 6-month mechanical warranty.
