The Legendary History of the Carrera

The Carrera's story begins in the 1950s when tag Heuer sought to build watches for professional racing drivers. Inspired by the legendary Carrera Panamericana race in Mexico, Jack Heuer named the chronograph after this grueling event. The first Carrera launched in 1963 with its defining domed plexiglass crystal and bold black/white contrast dial.

With refinements over the decades, the Carrera cemented its status as a motorsports icon worn by legends like Jo Siffert and Clay Regazzoni. Its designs evolved from vintage chronographs to contemporary pieces integrating TAG Heuer's latest innovations. Through it all, the essence of the Carrera's racing spirit endures. The 60th Anniversary edition reopens this prestigious heritage chapter.

A Faithful Recreation of the 1960 Carrera


TAG Heuer took care to recreate the look and feel of the earliest Carreras with this 60th Anniversary tribute model. At 36mm diameter, the stainless steel case matches the original 1960's proportions. Polished beveled lugs, pronounced winding crown, and vintage Carrera markings transport the watch back in time.

The iconic 2-register silver dial with contrasting black chronograph counters is faithfully reproduced. Stylized hands, applied hour markers, and the early Heuer logo complete the retro look. Even on the rear, the "Carrera 60" engraving and vintage font Heuer markings provide throwback flair. Attention to detail makes the 60th Anniversary edition seem plucked straight from the 1960s.

Modern Technology Under the Hood

The Calibre Heuer 02 automatic movement drives all functions including the chronograph. Beating at 28,800 vph with an 80-hour power reserve, the movement is crafted using Tag's latest standards.

The column wheel chronograph architecture provides precise tactile activation, visible through the sapphire caseback. Industrial decor on the bridges and blackened oscillating mass accentuate the mechanical feel.
