One of TAG Heuer’s best-selling Chronographs has been refreshed, with the arrival of the new Carrera Calibre 16 with either a black or blue dial. Not only does the newest Carrera sport a refreshed, simplified dial, but it is also the first execution of a (subtly) new Carrera case design, justifying a new case reference designation.

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.

When it comes to TAG Heuer ambassadors, no one can hold a candle to Formula 1’s triple World Champion Ayrton Senna.

In Depth Review- TAG Heuer Carrera Calibre 16 Chronograph (Ref. CBK2110, CBK2112)
The Carrera world has transformed significantly over the last three years, with the modular Carrera Heuer 01 ushering in an era of 43 and 45mm watches with rubber straps, squared-off lugs and skeleton-dials. That doesn’t mean that the classic Carrera has been forgotten (for example, the Calibre 18 Telemeter) but heritage themed watches have certainly taken a back seat to the… Read More
