Worried that your new Carrera Heuer-02t tourbillon won’t stand out sufficiently from the crowd? Never fear, because new for 2017 is the Carrera Heuer-02t Diamond collection. There are two new models in the range, the first with diamonds on the bezel, and the second that takes things even further, with diamonds on the lugs and bracelet.
Both watches are based on the successful Carrera tourbillon, a 45mm titanium case made from 12 modular components (lugs, case middle, bezel, case back, crown and its moulding, push-buttons, gasket between the middle and the bezel and sapphire crystals).
The bezel is made from white gold and set with 68 baguette diamonds.

The “all-diamonds” model adds to the 68 diamonds on the bezel with a clutch of precious stones set into the lugs and the bracelet. If you’re looking for plenty of bling, this is the watch for you.

Dialling things back slightly is the diamond bezel model, which is available with two different straps- the first being this tan example above
TAG Heuer Carrera Heuer-02t Diamonds CAR5A80 Rubber/ Leather Strap
The second option is the familiar rubber/ leather strap as offered on the standard Carrera Heuer-02t- to our eyes, this would be the combination to go for.
Price and Availability- TAG Heuer Carrera Heuer-02t Diamonds
At this stage we only have pricing for the model shown above, which is CHF59,900 (Switzerland) and €57,900 in Europe.
TAG Heuer has a limited history of men’s diamond watches, and while they are not for the mainstream, the fact that TAG Heuer and other major brands continue to offer them as a specialist model shows that there is demand for a Carrera with bling.
