The TAG Heuer Carrera Chronograph is an iconic watch in the world of motorsport and has been the go-to timepiece for some of Formula 1’s greatest teams and drivers.

The Carrera dates back to 1963 and has seen numerous variations since then, but the yellow-gold pieces from the collection always stand out from the rest.

The 2022 Gold Edition continues to build on this rich lineage, with its sophisticated deep black dial, sleek lines, and high-performance movement.

The first yellow gold Carrera Chronograph was introduced in 1970, These were presented to winning drivers and quickly became a symbol of success in the glamorous 1970s racing scene.

Today’s special edition sports a 42mm case made of solid 18K 3N yellow gold, with gold pushers and crown. The rich black sunray brushed dial brings sophistication, depth, and subtle play of light to the wrist.

Contrasting against the deep black dial are two “azuré” and gilded gold chronograph subdials at 3 and 9 o’clock. At 6 o’clock a discreet permanent second indicator and date window complete the harmonious tricompax layout.
