TAG Heuer And Porsche Unveil Limited Edition Carrera Chronograph x Porsche 963
Just a few days before the start of the 24h Le Mans, the biggest endurance race that many call the greatest race on the planet, two of the main historical protagonists linked to motorsport – TAG Heuer and Porsche, come together to bring the limited edition Carrera Chronograph x Porsche 963 that celebrates endurance racing.
The new Carrera Chronograph, despite evoking all its historical connection with racing, is by far the one that presents a more contemporary and aggressive design, supported by a steel case with several black elements, a carbon fibre bezel and an open-worked dial with a tubular structure that lights up blue in the dark.
Wearing a robust mainly brushed stainless steel case measuring 44mm by 15.10mm, concave sides with black PVD coating that also extends to the crown and the two pushers on the right side. In contrast, the left profile of the case is decorated with Porsche lettering, a tachymeter bezel in carbon fibre, sapphire glass front and back and 100m water resistance.
The skeletonized dial comes with grey bridges and on them rests the usual three counters formed by a 30-minute register, a running seconds with a date window and a 12-hour indicator at 3-6-9 o’clock respectively. Applied hour markers and hands are all filled with Super-LumiNova, which also illuminates the three counters mentioned above in the dark as well as the Porsche name engraved on the bezel.
It is through the open rear glass case that we can observe the In-house Caliber TH20-00 formerly known as Heuer 02, which comes equipped with a column wheel and vertical clutch, with 24 jewels, running 28,800 Vph and offers up to 80 hours of power reserve.
The new timepiece that now joins the Heuer Carrera family comes attached to a black rubber strap, is limited to 963 units and comes with a price of CHF 9,000.
