Kei Nishikori's Signature Design on the Case Back
Although watches and tennis operate in different fields, Kei Nishikori serves as a TAG Heuer ambassador due to his passionate pursuit in both. The newly released limited edition model is equipped with the "Heuer01" in-house caliber, developed by TAG Heuer over five years, representing an avant-garde evolution.
The "TAG Heuer Carrera Caliber Heuer01 Chronograph AIR-K5," a Japan-exclusive model, is a sporty timepiece featuring a black dial with red accents symbolizing Nishikori's passion, green reminiscent of a tennis court, and a grid pattern evoking a tennis net.
Furthermore, the '1' in the date display is replaced with a 'K,' embodying his aspiration to reach world number one.
In addition to a black rubber strap, the watch comes with Nishikori's preferred yellow rubber strap. The see-through case back, allowing a view of the movement, and the watch box are both adorned with Kei Nishikori's signature, making them highly coveted items for fans.
