TAG Heuer has arrived at LVMH Watch Week with a trio of Carrera chronographs.
There's something for everyone in this collection.
With LVMH Watch Week now underway, you can expect to see a wide range of new watches coming out at the moment. The iconic fashion house is home to a slew of top brands, with all of them showing off something new at the show.
That includes TAG Heuer, which has arrived at the show with a trio of new Carrera chronographs. Those show the breadth of what the model can offer, with something for every taste.
TAG Heuer Carrera Chronograph
Up first is the brand new TAG Heuer Carrera Chronograph. That enjoys a glassbox crystal on top, giving the model a distinctly retro flavour.
That's offered in three different colours – blue, green and black – and sits in a 41mm case crafted from stainless steel. The models are offered on a seven-link bracelet, and make use of a TH20-01 movement which offers 80 hours of power reserve.
You'll also find the victory wreath engraved on the inside of the lugs. Priced at CHF 7,500 (approx. £7,000 / €8,050 / US$9,350 / AU$14,000) this looks set to be the dawn of a new era for the brand's Carrera flagship.
TAG Heuer Carrera Split-Seconds Chronograph
Next up is a model which marks the introduction of the Split-Seconds Chronograph in the Carrera range. We've seen this complication employed by the brand in the past, but only in the Monaco range.
This model packs in a brand new TH81-01 movement, which builds on the one found in those Monaco references. That makes use of a 5Hz beat rate, and offers 65 hours of power reserve to boot.
That sits inside of a 42mm case crafted from grade 5 titanium. That's presented on a black leather strap, with red stitching.
Priced at CHF 110,000 (approx. £100,000 / €118,000 / US$137,500 / AU$205,000) this one is certainly going to be a rare one.
TAG Heuer Carrera Seafarer
Last, but by no means least, is the TAG Heuer Carrera Seafarer. Designed to pay tribute to a popular model originally seen in the late 1940s – and later crafted by Heuer for Abercrombie and Fitch – this model features an indicator so showcase the high and low tides.
That's adjusted by a pusher at the nine o'clock position, and makes a full revolution once every 29.53125 days. That level of specificity is seriously impressive.
Everything sits inside a 42mm stainless steel case, beneath a glassbox crystal and on a seven-link bracelet. The muted colour palette on the dial features a champagne dial, complete with yellow gold indices and a light blue and yellow colour scheme on the sub-dials.
Priced at CHF 8,300 (approx. £7,700 / €8,900 / US$10,350 / AU$15,500) this one looks set to be a popular pick – it's my personal favourite from the new range!
