Beauty, as they so often say, is in the eyes of the beholder. Still, I suppose there will be those who dig this look. I can’t help but wonder what the watch would look like with regular white Super-LumiNova. Of course, vintage-inspired pieces are all the rage these days, but the beige Super-LumiNova looks somewhat incongruous with the rest of the watch. A point of contention would be the faux vintage lume. I like the design of the dial too, as it’s sporty and the various red markings and accents make it quite different from anything else in the market today. Making them available in blue and black is a good choice since these colors have proved to be very popular over the last few years. Price and value aside, aesthetic is easily one of the important factors for such buyers and I think that the new Carrera Calibre 16 Chronographs are quite attractive.
This year’s new TAG Heuer Carrera Calibre 16 Chronograph is all about offering these young buyers more options. They also introduced new models to their Carrera range in the form of the Carrera Heuer-01. Last year, we saw them update their Link and Aquaracer collections with new models. To that end, the brand has been steadily updating its collections over the past few years. In the next few decades, the Carrera would grow out to become one of the icons of the watchmaking world.TAG Heuer wants to establish itself as the go-to brand for young, aspiring individuals ready to purchase their first high-end Swiss watch. A then new type of tension ring became of vital importance to the design: it allowed him to print scales on the ring that secured the plastic crystal to the case, making it possible to leave the dial as clean as possible. When creating the Carrera, he does sought to create a chronograph that was easy on the eyes and easily readable. When wrist chronographs began to become more and more popular, Jack noted that many of them had very busy dials that were at times hard to read.
While this race was cancelled off in 1955 due to the high number of accidents, the name nevertheless stuck with Jack Heuer and he registered the Heuer Carrera name for later use.Īs stated in his autobiography 'The Times of my Life', Jack Heuer was a great admirer of modern design. It was designed by Jack Heuer himself, who got the inspiration for the name in 1962 when talking to the parents of Mexican racing drivers known as 'the Rodriquez Brothers', who mentioned to him the grueling Carrera Panamericana Mexico race. The Carrera was originally launched in 1963.
