An Avant-Garde Design Merging the Vintage Character of the First Model with a Teal Hue
The special edition "TAG Heuer Carrera Green Special Edition," which skillfully fuses the heritage of the first Carrera with modern elegance, has been released. While inheriting the DNA of the "Ref. 2447" introduced in 1963, with its signature lugs and domed sapphire crystal, it also features modern details. Notably, it boasts a dial in a "teal" color—a delicate blend of blue and green—and a 39mm case size suitable for unisex wear.
The dial is equipped with a refined tricompax structure, featuring three subdials (chronograph minute counter at 3 o'clock, seconds indicator at 6 o'clock, and chronograph hour counter at 9 o'clock). The hour and minute hands are faceted and coated with Super-LumiNova®, ensuring optimal legibility.
This timepiece is powered by the in-house "Calibre Heuer 02" movement, a state-of-the-art automatic chronograph movement manufactured exclusively at TAG Heuer's Swiss facility in Chevenez. Comprising 168 components, including a column wheel and a vertical clutch, it delivers exceptional chronometric performance with a substantial power reserve of approximately 80 hours.
The strap is crafted from black alligator leather, secured with a folding clasp featuring double safety push-buttons. The case back is engraved with "SPECIAL EDITION" and accented with teal lettering. This model is available as a worldwide limited edition of 500 pieces through TAG Heuer boutiques and the official online boutique.
