DESCRIPTION
- The Heuer Carrera was born in 1962 in the pits and paddocks of the Twelve Hours of Sebring, where Jack Heuer, official timekeeper of the event, first heard tale of motor-racing’s most gruelling endurance competition, the “Carrera Panamericana Mexico Road Race”. It also pays homage to TAG Heuer’s unique timekeeping contributions to the racing world, radical innovations like the Time of Trip (1911), the first car dashboard chronograph; the Mikrograph (1916), the first sports stopwatch accurate to 1/100th of a second; and the Autavia (1933), the first 12-hour dashboard timer for Automobile and Aviation.
When he launched the Carrera in 1964, legibility was Jack Heuer’s highest priority. By placing the 1/5th of a second-scale in the inside tension ring of the crystal, he freed up 2 mm of space on the flat dial. It was a world first and an instant success, a favourite of watch and motor-sports enthusiasts alike for its timeless design, uncluttered style and functional and minimalist elegance. Relaunched in 1996 and completely revamped in 2002, the Carrera is one of TAG Heuer’s most iconic creations. It has been worn by hundreds of TAG Heuer driving greats, including Juan Manuel Fangio, Kimi Räikkönen or Lewis Hamilton.
The Carrera Calibre 16 Day-Date chronograph gives a new interpretation to the classical codes of the distinguished Carrera line. Furnished with a tachymeter scale on its fixed bezel for calculating speed, it pays homage to the great motor racing legends and “gentleman drivers.” Its large crown and push-buttons reminding the stop-watches are inspired by the mythic universe of racecars driving in the 1950s, while the hand-applied numerals reveal the connection with the iconic design of Carrera Calibre 360. Sophisticated and refined in its every detail, this new model in the Carrera collection perpetuates its historic heritage and the passion that fuels it. More elegant than ever, the Carrera Calibre 16 Day-Date chronograph is, like all Carrera chronographs, an object of desire and audacity, timeless and indispensable.
