TAG Heuer “TAG Heuer Carrera Caliber Heuer 02 Chronograph Japan Limited Edition”
A new product sold only in Japan. It features a dial that combines black and rose gold colors, inspired by samurai armor. Clean lugs and symmetrically placed dials give it a touch of elegance. Self-winding (Cal. Heuer 02). 28,800 vibrations/hour. Power reserve about 80 hours. SS case (diameter 42mm). 100m water resistant. Limited to 300 in Japan. 726,000 yen (tax included).
Speaking of the Japan-only model of the same brand, the “TAG Heuer Carrera Caliber Heuer 02T Tourbillon Chronograph Japan Limited Edition” released in June 2022 is new to memory. This was a limited edition model of 50 pieces that used titanium and carbon with black DLC processing for the exterior, and adopted vivid red for the tourbillon carriage and case back. As a model, this “TAG Heuer Carrera Caliber Heuer 02 Chronograph Japan Limited Edition” was announced.
The dial is based on black with sunray processing, and the hands, indexes, logo, and scale are rose gold. This combination is inspired by the combination of black and gold found on Japanese samurai armor. Depending on how it is used, the color may become more assertive, but the case and bracelet are made of stainless steel, and the refined design unique to the Carrera makes it stand out.
As with the base model, it has a chronograph that can measure up to 12 hours and a date display. In addition to a symmetrical layout with a 30-minute counter at 3 o’clock, a small seconds and date display at 6 o’clock, and a 12-hour counter at 9 o’clock, the clean dial without a tachymeter is a racing chronograph. Although it has its roots, it gives an elegant impression.
From the see-through back, you can appreciate the Caliber Heuer 02 to be installed. Côtes de Genève is applied to parts such as special rotors and receivers.
The movement is Caliber Heuer 02 with a power reserve of about 80 hours, a column wheel and a vertical clutch. Côtes de Genève is applied to the rose-gold rotor and receivers, which are inspired by the gold of a helmet, and you can enjoy the finish through the see-through back.
This work is sold in a limited edition of 300 pieces, and the serial number “001-300/300” is engraved on the case back. It is housed in a custom rose gold box and comes with a travel case.
