TAG HeuerCarrera

KEY FACTS

• Taking its name from the Carrera Panamericana road race, the TAG Heuer Carrera debuted in 1963 and is one of the Swiss watchmaker’s several motorsport-inspired watches
• ​Despite its past, the ‘Skipper’ takes its moniker from TAG Heuer’s seafaring heritage, which began with the first Swiss sailing race in 1888
• The brand has since sponsored the prestigious America’s Cup, and the Flying Nikka - a full foiling offshore Maxi yacht, designed for medium-length regatta races 
• The watch is built around TAG Heuer’s ‘Glassbox’ format which sees the 39mm case’s stainless steel crystal house both the sunburst chronograph dial and matching tachymeter bezel
• ​Further elements of teal, green, and orange come courtesy of the two sub-registers at three and nine o’clock respectively, whilst the colourful red seconds hand is a further nod to regatta events
• The deep blue fabric strap aligns aesthetically with its ocean-going theme
• ​Beneath the transparent caseback beats TAG Heuer’s Calibre TH20-06, an automatic in-house developed movement with an 80-hour power reserve
• Offered by a private collector in the United Kingdom
• ​A one-owner watch purchased new from a TAG Heuer authorised dealer
• Presented with its display box, outer sleeve, guarantee, booklets, and purchase receipt
• TAG Heuer’s two-year guarantee covers the watch until 2025
• ​Graded ‘AA’ by the vendor who reports the watch to be unworn condition
