TAG Heuer Carrera Watches
How to choose your TAG Heuer Carrera?
Launched in 1963 by Jack Heuer and directly inspired by the Carrera Panamericana motor race held in Mexico in the 1950s, the Carrera remains the manufacture's most iconic chronograph. Expect generally between €2,800 and more than €7,000 depending on version, case and strap, payable in instalments via Alma up to €15,000. Three criteria guide the choice: the version sought (classic chronograph, calendar complication or co-branded edition), case diameter and strap type, steel or leather.
The collection comes in several complementary families: the Carrera Chronograph, closest to the original 1963 spirit, the Carrera Day Date, which adds a practical everyday calendar function, and the Carrera Porsche, born from a collaboration with the German carmaker. An automatic movement equips most current references, reinforcing the Carrera's position as the manufacture's flagship for mechanical watchmaking, alongside the Monaco and the Autavia.
