Needeless to say, The Carrera Heuer-01 is the most attractive TAG Heuer collection. This is a modern flagship, made with contemporary materials, capable of housing any and all complications.

Already, TAG Heuer is showing the versatility of its new pillar. A few months after the release of its new chronograph, TAG has announced plans to release a tourbillon chronograph that borrows the case design of the Carrera Heuer-01. And the big news is its incredible price point.  Front of TAG Heuer Carrera Heuer-01
In fact, it is roughly ten times cheaper than the similarly made Bell & Ross BR-X1 Chronograph Tourbillon. Both feature a 45 mm case, made from a combination of grade-5 titanium, stainless steel, and rubber. Both present semi-skeletonized dials, highlighting the minute and hour counters at 3 and 9 o’clock, respectively. And both feature a flying tourbillon at 6 o’clock. Where they differ greatly is in their price.Side of TAG Heuer Carrera Heuer-01Exactly how TAG Heuer are able to make such an affordable tourbillon isn’t exactly clear yet, but neither the precious materials nor the hand-finishing usually reserved for such a revered complication are present. What is clear however, is the brand’s intention to release a tourbillon movement that is verifiably sound, and able to pass the COSC certification.Front of TAG Heuer Carrera Heuer-01 02

We also know the new manufacture Calibre Heuer 02-T movement, which beats at 28,000 vph, is based on the abandoned CH-80 Chronograph, and that some of the components were already being developed in-house in the Chevenez workshops. TAG Heuer says it was able to reduce the cost of production by “optimizing the manufacturing process.”TAG Heuer Carrera Heuer-01 dial
Two variations of the TAG Heuer Carrera Heuer-02T will be available; a non-limited model and a “Black Phantom” edition of 250 pieces. It wouldn’t be a Jean-Claude Biver watch if there weren’t an all-black limited edition. The watch comes on a black rubber strap with deployment buckle and safety push-buttons.
