Hands-on With TAG Heuer Debuts Carrera Calibre 1969 Mens Replica

TAG Heuer has just released the first replica watch to contain its new in-house made Calibre 1969 automatic chronograph movement (debuted hands-on here). It is the limited edition TAG Heuer Carrera 1969 Replica ref. CAR2A60 and is a very modern replica watch for their most modern movement. While with TAG Heuer at the debut of the 1969 movement in late 2013 it seemed rather clear that the Carrera collection would be the first to enjoy the fruits of their newest manufacture movements. What was not clear was the direction TAG Heuer was going to take in either modern or retro styling.

It was a fair question because the name of the Calibre 1969 movement goes back to the year when TAG Heuer (along with three other brands) debuted the automatic chronograph mechanical movement to the world. It thus made sense that TAG Heuer may have wanted to debut the movement in a retro-inspired replica watch. We have a good feeling that pieces of that nature will show up in TAG Heuer’s collection before long, but for now the Calibre 1969 is taking the form of other high-end, new TAG Heuer mens replica timepieces. The case design is one that we have seen in a few recent TAG Heuer replica watches, most recently the TAG Heuer Carrera Calibre 1887 Jack Heuer Edition.

Unlike those other models, the Carrera Calibre 1969 will have the crown and pushers placed in a more traditional space on the right-side of the case (versus the bull-head style layout of most others). The case represents a modern interpretation of the classic Carrera case from the early 1960s. We believe that the case should be about 44-45mm wide. The limited edition model will be in black PVD titanium carbide coated titanium and 18k rose gold. It is an interesting and thoroughly modern take on the Carrera and while it does not immediately come across as familiar, I think it is a handsome design that certainly grows on you.

When was the last time you saw a black and gold TAG Heuer by the way? There are some interesting design elements worth mentioning. The Calibre 1969 is a tri-compax chronograph with the date. But where is the date? TAG Heuer cleverly integrated the date indicator into the sub dial for the chronograph hours. How do you feel about it? It does help maintain dial symmetry nicely. With a mixture of both classic and modern design elements from TAG Heuer, the Carrera Calibre 1969 is a bold step in a new higher-end bracket for TAG Heuer that is firmly positioned over the Carrera models with the also in-house made Calibre 1887 movement. Having said that, we will see lower-priced Carrera Calibre 1969 movements debuting soon.

Replica TAG Heuer Published Senna Special Edition Replica 2015 For Ayrton Senna’s Fan

Ayrton Senna has always been closely linked to two brands: Honda and swiss TAG Heuer replica . With Honda , the F1 racer had an intense personal and professional relationship ( Senna was deeply involved in the development of the Honda NSX , a joint venture between the Japanese car-maker and the McLaren team), while for TAG Heuer , which was one of McLaren ‘s technical partners, Senna become a brand ambassador.

The tagline for the brand’s advertising campaign, which appeared on every magazine of the time, was, “Don’t crack under pressure.” Very soon this phrase became a powerful claim and many watches were created under this statement, the most famous of which was an analog-digital timepiece that Ayrton Senna was very fond of and used on a daily basis: the 1991 TAG Heuer S/EL . Today, Senna ‘s personal watch is owned by Jo Ramirez , a former McLaren ‘s technician and a very close friend of the deceased driver.

TAG Heuer has ideally recreated that former partnership by associating Senna ‘s face to two of its collections: the Formula 1 and, partially, the Carrera . Over the last years, there have been numerous limited edition watches created and named after the F1 champion. Today, some of those collectors, own precious rolex replica watches that have seen their collecting value grow exponentially. In 2015, replica TAG Heuer launched two new models and four new versions: one is the TAG Heuer Formula 1 Senna Special Edition Replica , while the second one is the TAG Heuer Carrera Calibre 16 Senna Special Edition Replica .

In my opinion, both timepieces are highly sophisticated customizations of two TAG collections. The TAG Heuer Formula 1 Senna Special Edition Replica is a 43mm diameter Formula 1 quartz chrono that comes in two versions: the first one features red accents , while the second is painted in green and yellow and reminds us of the Brazilian flag or, if you prefer, of Senna ‘s racing helmet. On both models, the “ S ” red logo is printed on the dial and the wording “ Senna ” is engraved on the bezel, along with the tachy scale.

More interestingly, as well as more classy, is the TAG Heuer Carrera Caliber 16 Senna Special Edition Replica: the right answer to those who have been waiting for years for a new release of the Link timepieces originally created for the F1 racer. This watch is essentially a Carrera item that has been embellished with a Link bracelet, exactly like the Formula 1 , but while the Formula 1 has a traditional folding clasp, the Carrera has the very same integrated deployment buckle of a Link bracelet. This new bracelet is called “Legend” on the Replica Senna Special Edition timepieces.

Among the four new watches, the Carrera Caliber 16 is undoubtely the most appealing one: it is a beautiful 44mm three counter chrono embellished by the “Legend” bracelet and made sporty by the thin “ Senna ” writing on the bezel, the “ S ” logo and the small red accents on the dial. This replica timepiece can be perfectly placed in between a classic and a sporty chrono because its dial is anthracite grey with a soleil motif: a typical dial that is used for both styles in watch making. The combination betwen style and balance, what English speakers call “the cool factor”, is simply outstanding and, in my opinion, this is by far the best Senna Limited Edition TAG Heuer chrono Replica ever made.

If you are looking for an exclusively sporty version of this replica timepiece, you should go for the Titanium version. The “ Senna ” writing is white and, in both versions, the brand’s logo is placed at 12 hours on the bezel. The bracelet has been replaced by a rubber strap sporting a “ Vintage Dunlop ” motif and a folding buckle. A small note about the logo: on the new advertising campaign of the brand you might have noticed that the TAG Heuer logo has been redesigned, the “ TAG ” part has lost its classic arrow shape and it has been simplified.

To summarize: it is nice to see that Replica TAG has revamped the Ayrton Senna limited edition watches replica because this niche market linking timepieces and cars counts many aficionados and it hasn’t been affected by the economic crisis so far. Among those four watches the steel Carrera is definitely the best one and it could have been even better had it adopted the 1887 movement.
