It’s not all that often that TAG Heuer launches a new 3-hand or “non-Chronograph” Carrera series. In fact, since the arrival of the first 39mm Calibre 5 Carrera in 2003/4 (the “WV” series), the Carrera watch has remained fairly constant, with a refreshed collection (“WAR”) arriving in 2014 and now in 2021 the new WBN Carrera Three Hands series.

TAG Heuer
TAG Heuer was created in 1986 when the Techniques d’Avant Garde (TAG) acquired Heuer SA and changed the brand’s name to TAG Heuer. The new ownership set about revitalising the Heuer range, adding major new models, such as the Formula 1 and the S/el sports series.
TAG Heuer was briefly listed on the stock exchange, before being acquired by LVMH in 1999, where the brand joins Hublot, Zenith and Bulgari as the group’s key watchmaking brands. Techniques d’Avant Garde no longer has any involvement in the company, despite its name remaining.

TAG Heuer Carrera Green Special Edition- In Depth Review (Ref. CBK221F)
Hot on the heels of the Monaco limited edition that we showed you back a couple of weeks ago, TAG Heuer has repeated the dose of green with a second LE of 500 watches, this time based on the Carrera “Glassbox”, our favourite Carrera case. But rather than simply re-use the same dégradé dial as the Monaco, the new Carrera… Read More

TAG Heuer Monaco Green Dial Limited Edition- In Depth Review (Ref. CBL2116)
There’s no question that the world’s watchmakers have decided that Green is the “new Black” when it comes to watch dials. A couple of years ago Blue was the new Black, and there’s a push by some to make Red the newest of new Blacks, but for 2021 Green is where it’s at. Actually technically, the new 2021 TAG Heuer… Read More

TAG Heuer x Fragment Design Heuer 02- In Depth Review (Ref. CAZ201A)
The TAG Heuer x Fragment Design Heuer 02 is a watch of contradictions. It’s not a re-edition, but nor is it a new design. It might look like an Autavia, but in reality, it’s part of the extended Formula 1 family. And while we’ve had mechanical Formula 1 watches for several years, we’ve never had one with an in-house movement,… Read More
