Remember, the first Carrera chronograph, released in 1963 in a 36mm case, lacked the tachymeter. This is also the first time in recent years that a 39mm watch gets a tachymeter printed on the dial – the Fragment collaboration springs to mind, but it had a different execution. These pushers are common to 42mm TAG Heuer models but have just been used within the 39mm series. The chronograph push-pieces at 2 and 4 o’clock have taken a new form, designed to be user-friendlier and to serve their function better. The two new timepieces are presented in a 39mm diameter brushed and polished stainless steel case, which has been improved for comfort and ergonomics in line with current expectations and quality criteria.

The new watches have been created to include exciting details for efficient functioning and contemporary aesthetics let’s spend some time appreciating these new Carrera Chronograph Glassbox. The new Carrera chronographs were inspired by the so-called glassbox design, with reference to the domed hesalite crystals featured on the early Carrera models in the 1960s, and they come with an updated movement. We are in for a real treat for the legendary chronograph’s 60th anniversary, with two new modern versions of the timeless classic, racing-inspired timepiece initially designed by Jack Heuer. TAG Heuer is an unstoppable machine, anticipating and satisfying the insatiable demand for the new Carreras.
