The timepiece is priced at $6,750 and limited to just 600 pieces. You’ll also see a lovely vintage TAG Heuer logo there as an extra treat All of this is strapped on in black alligator leather, with a steel folding clasp with double safety push buttons. We also see “Limited Edition” and “ONE OF 600” engraved on the rear. There’s one detail, I quite like and I wasn’t expecting this – On the caseback, while the timepiece’s mechanical elegance is on display, there’s a tiny Carrera red lug near 12 o’clock. Which by the way, is a triple-sub-dial chronograph spread at three, six, and nine o’clock. You get hours, minutes, seconds, and a chronograph function. This beautiful architecture runs on 33 jewels. Inside, resides a TAG-special Calibre Heuer 02 that runs automatic boasting a power reserve of 80 hours. It’s also water resistant up to 100 meters. Sizing at 39 mm in standard Carrera fashion, it’s cased out of Stainless Steel with a thickness of just under 15 mm. The indexes, Rhodium-plated are all polished and boast a Super-LumiNova lume allowing you to keep track of time in the dark too. The bloody red dial is absolutely divine. It’s also a homage to Jack Heuer’s visionary silhouette from the 60s. Well today, we see their next new bold hue which will be joining the Carrera colour palette, a deep and divine red. We recently saw the orange-dial Aquaracer, green-dial Carrera, and purple-dial Monaco. TAG, on the other hand, is no slouch when it comes to embracing the colour spectrum. Be it for those colours having too niche an appeal in the market or brands simply wanting to stick to the safe white-black-blue-green dial options. TAG Heuer’s mission for 2022 is quite evident – Draping their dials in colours and tones that watchmakers usually shy away from. Housing a Calibre Heuer 02, it’s limited to 600 pieces only.
