Carrera (TAG Heuer)
The TAG Heuer Carrera is in many ways the classic TAG Heuer watch. It all started with the Heuer Carrera introduced in 1963 by Jack Heuer, and was discontinued by Heuer in the early 1980s. Initially ignored by TAG Heuer, the brand reintroduced the Carrera in 1996 as part of the re-edition series. On this page you can read all the Calibre 11 reviews and articles featuring Carrera watches and Chronographs. To read about the history of the Carrera, check out our dedicated website here: http://carrera.calibre11.com
The Carrera today is available with a wide range of movements- Calibre S, Calibre 5, Calibre 16, Calibre 17, Calibre 49, Calibre 1887 and Mikrograph.

It’s been more than four years since TAG Heuer surprised the watch world by showing off the Carrera Heuer 02 Tourbillon in 2015. Based on the (at the time) still-born Calibre CH80, the Heuer02T debuted at an amazing price for a tourbillon: US$15,000. And while we’ve seen many iterations of the watch over that time, the 2019 Carrera Nanograph feels… Read More
