There are two options on a new H-link bracelet with either a black or dark blue dial. TAG shows us four new stainless steel variants and all come in at 42 by 14.4mm. We’ll get to my personal thoughts on the Carrera Chronograph Calibre 02 towards the end, but let’s first break down the release. Will the new TAG Heuer Carrera Chronograph Calibre 02 come close in terms of timelessness? The angled and chamfered lugs, the incredibly clear dial and general show of restraint make it one of my favorites (hint: the originals are still somehow reasonable - blame a 36mm case). For me, the Carrera - certainly in its original form - boasts one of the cleanest, most elegant designs for a sporting chronograph. Sure, the Monaco or Autavia are popular and legendary in their own way, but the Carrera is what really kicked things off for Heuer back in the 1960’s and again in the 1990’s when the original models were reissued. Amongst their historic models, it’s the Carrera that jumps out to me as the most legendary. The introduction of a new Carrera is a big deal for TAG Heuer.

The TAG Heuer Carrera Chronograph Calibre 02 Today, though, we finally get to see what is likely the most awaited version, the Carrera Chronograph Calibre 02. We broke down the new 44mm Sport Carrera and came away impressed by the colorful, yet cohesively designed chronographs. Then, just a short couple of months ago, the first mainstream release came to light. This was a faithful retro model that harkens back to the original 1963 model designed by Jack Heuer. In January this year, we saw the beautiful Carrera 160 Years Silver Limited Edition. We break down the news and give our thoughts.ġ60 years as a company is certainly something to honor and TAG Heuer has steadily rolled out the goods in proper celebratory fashion. TAG Heuer rounds off its 160th anniversary with a new lineup of Carrera Chronograph Calibre 02 models.
