Jack Heuer’s Vision for Timeless Legibility

This registered chronograph was always admired for its clean and simple design, particularly among racers, a point further reinforced when in the 2019 movie Ford v Ferrari Matt Damon playing the legendary automotive design and constructor Carol Shelby would wear this exact reference.

JACK HEUER'S LEGIBILITY VISION

TAG Heuer is set to release a new take on a watch designed for legibility, a wink to the 7753 SN, the Carrera collection's roots, and Jack Heuer's dedication to readability. The TAG Heuer Carrera Chronograph brings forth a new and modern take on the 1963 vision, breathing new refining the design, refreshing the timeless allure of the panda chronograph look in the new Glassbox construction.

This timepiece embodies the spirit of legibility within the collection. The black azuré subdials at 3 and 9 o’clock contrast with the silver sunray-brushed dial, creating the signature bi-compax panda look. The addition of captivating, red-lacquered sub-dial hands further amplifies the contrast, ensuring clarity at a glance.

To further elevate legibility, the watch incorporates TAG Heuer’s iconic Glassbox design, set to become a staple of the TAG Heuer Carrera Chronograph line.

The 39mm steel case, topped with a sapphire crystal reminiscent of 1970s Heuer Carrera models, has been redeveloped for seamless flow over the tachymeter scale that runs around the dial edge and into the case. The curved flange, in contrasting black, and curved rhodium-plated indexes, contribute to the watch’s cohesive aesthetic, ensuring legibility from a wider range of angles, keeping with Jack’s original purpose for the watch.

In keeping with the core theme of legibility, the rhodium-plated central hand features a red-lacquered tip, catching the eye when reading the time. The seconds hand, in black, ensures a clear distinction. Notably, each 5-second interval is marked in red, enhancing visibility.

The allure of the Carrera Chronograph “Panda” extends to the steel bracelet, a first time on the redesigned Carrera collection, intertwining with the Glassbox design and highlighting the panda configuration. This harmonious blend of vintage tribute, contemporary elegance and novelty invites wearers to appreciate the craftsmanship and innovate spirit for which TAG Heuer is renowned.

Turning over the TAG Heuer Carrera Chronograph reveals the in-house chronograph movement Heuer 02 (Ref. TH20-00). This powerful movement features a bi-directional winding, a new shield-shaped rotor, and an impressive 80-hour power reserve. The watch comes with a 5-year extended warranty.

With this watch, TAG Heuer expands its collection, introducing a bi-compax panda look with a steel bracelet and a contrasting flange.

This timepiece not only builds upon the Carrera's rich heritage but also embodies the innovation and avant-garde spirit for which TAG Heuer is renowned.
