Inspired by the New Vantage
Carrera Calibre Heuer 01 Chronograph
This spring, TAG Heuer became the official partner and official watch partner of Aston Martin and Aston Martin Racing. To celebrate this new partnership, a special edition chronograph has been unveiled.
The "Carrera Calibre Heuer 01 Chronograph," inspired by the details of the new Aston Martin Vantage, features a dedicated dial and a dedicated solid steel case. The distinctive side lines of the case embody a sporty image.
Meanwhile, the "Formula 1 Chronograph" draws inspiration from Aston Martin Racing. It is equipped with a fluted steel bezel and an aluminum ring with a tachymeter scale for measuring average speed, with the lime color characteristic of Aston Martin Racing accenting the indices and second hand.
As an essential function for motorsport watches, it measures time to the nearest tenth of a second and displays it on the 6 o'clock subdial. Furthermore, it features a minute counter at 9 o'clock and a second counter at 3 o'clock. For the strap, it utilizes a leather strap for the first time in the Formula 1 collection.
