TAG Heuer Carrera’s motorsports heritage is also evident in this sleek, modern edition of one of the bestselling Carreras, the TAG Heuer Carrera Calibre 16 Day Date. Loaded with features — full day-of-the-week and date display, three chronograph subdials and a tachymeter scale bezel on the 41-mm case — this watch has an overall look reminiscent of a classic racecar dashboard. Five-row steel is used for the bracelet, alternating fine-brushed and polished finishes and fastening with a solid steel folding clasp. It’s water-resistant to 100 meters, the dial is protected by a domed, scratch-resistant sapphire crystal treated with a double-sided, nonreflective coating for better readability. The oversized crown and push-buttons echo those of vintage stopwatches.
