#Tag carrera calibre 16 full

The photos below from Oomiya do a good job of showing how the new Ceramic bezel wraps over the case- almost like a cap. Having said that, over the last two years or so TAG Heuer has moved away from the вЂњstandardвЂќ colour combinations for straps into more adventurous options and combinations- so we can only assume that this is where customer preferences are heading. ThereвЂ™s something about brown and orange together that just doesnвЂ™t look right to our eyes- a more conservative black strap with orange would have been a better choice. In addition to the steel bracelet, the blue Carrera can also be chosen with a brown leather strap (Ref. No-one does better blue dials than TAG Heuer, and this new Carrera is no exception. The second model in the range has a blue sunburst dial with Orange highlights and a matching blue ceramic bezel. Just like the Aquaracer 300m series, they feel about 20% too big and unnecessarily cramp what is otherwise a clear, open dial. If we would change one thing, it would be to shorten the length of the hour-markers.

Overall, the dial looks fantastic- classic, simple and sporty. The red line on the inner bezel is a nice touch, harking back to the Calibre 11/ 12/ 15 Heuers of the 1970s, as well as the 2018 Carrera Calibre 16. The red touches extend to red ring on the upper chronograph pusher. BA0651) or a calfskin leather strap with red stitching (Ref. The watch can be bought either with a stainless steel bracelet (Reference Ref. CBM2110ДЇirst up in the new range we have the black starburst dial with red highlights- reference CBM2110.

This is the second new model after the Autavia Isograph to ditch the вЂњ Calibre XвЂќ reference on the dial, so we should assume that this is a sign-post of things to come across the full range. WeвЂ™ve been advocating for this less-is-more approach for a long time, and it looks wonderfully clean to see Just the applied TAG Heuer shield, the Carrera name and the reference to being an automatic. The other major changes are found on the dial itself, which does mark a change of direction- no more вЂњ CalibreвЂќ reference on the dial, no reference to water resistance and no mention of being a Chronograph. The difference is not immediately obvious from the press shots, but weвЂ™ll show you the changes close up when we get one of the new watches for a hands-on review.ДЄnd while historically modern Carreras have had a metal bezel with an aluminium or ceramic insert, in this case the entire fixed bezel is made from ceramic. The other difference is that the horns on the case are shorter and re-profiled. Specifically, the case has a slimmer midsection, necessitating a slight cut-out in the case to accommodate the chronograph pushers. While the case is basically the same overall thickness as the CBK case (CBM: 16.2mm CBK: 15.9mm), the elements of the case are different. But as we covered in the introduction, this is a new Carrera case design. The basic template of the new Carrera is a familiar one: 41mm steel case, black dial, red highlights and a ceramic bezel- so far, so normal. In addition to this new Carrera, we also- finally- expect to see the Carrera Heuer 02 43mm Skeleton dial watches appear in stores in the next few weeks, some 18 months after they were first shown. While 2019 is the year of the Monaco and Autavia, weвЂ™re pleased to see a continued focus on the Carrera range, especially the heritage-style watches. Not only does the newest Carrera sport a refreshed, simplified dial, but it is also the first execution of a (subtly) new Carrera case design, justifying a new case reference designation.

One of TAG HeuerвЂ™s best-selling Chronographs has been refreshed, with the arrival of the new Carrera Calibre 16 with either a black or blue dial.
