160 YEARS YOUNG: TAG HEUER STARTS A ROUND ANNIVERSARY WITH THE RE-ISSUE OF A HEUER CARRERA HIGHLIGHT

To mark this special anniversary, the Swiss luxury watch manufacturer is introducing the Tag Heuer Replica Carrera 160 Years Silver Limited Edition – with a design from the 1960s driven by a 21st century watchmaking innovation.

To kick off a year of honors and celebrations, TAG Heuer is presenting a TAG Heuer Carrera 160 Years Silver Limited Edition, of which only 1860 pieces will be produced. It will be available to customers worldwide from June 2020.

Celebrate with the TAG Heuer Carrera 160 Years Silver Limited Edition

In 1962, then CEO Jack Heuer heard the story of the legendary Carrera Panamericana, one of the most treacherous road races in the world. The word “carrera,” which means road, race, career and track in Spanish, caught his attention: he knew immediately that this would be the perfect name for a new watch. The following year, the first Heuer Carrera chronographs left the factory.

A lover of modern and clean design, Jack Heuer aimed for a pure and well-proportioned aesthetic for the Heuer Carrera Chronograph – characteristics that make the watch perfect for racing drivers who need to see the time at a glance during adrenaline-fuelled races.

The new stainless steel chronograph features many of the same design highlights as its predecessor, such as a timelessly elegant dial, polished case and polished pushers. However, the shape is slightly different and the watch now measures 39 mm instead of the original 36 mm.
