Altered Carbon – TAG Heuer’s Carrera Heuer 02 Carbon

Altered Carbon – TAG Heuer’s Carrera Heuer 02 Carbon

The blacked-out Carbon capsule collection takes some sporty TAG Heuer staples and remixes them with carbon, in its various forms — there’s the Bamford Monaco, the colour-popping Aquaracer, and this guy, the Carrera Heuer 02 Carbon.

Now, the familiar case on this Carrera isn’t all carbon; only the lugs and bezel are made from the lightweight, high-tech composite, more than enough to give the look (and the feel) of the material, while the central case elements are made from more conventional steel (albeit blacked-out). The other nifty thing about this watch is the Heuer 02 movement, which is a thoroughly modern model of a modern integrated chronograph. All told, the carbon additions to this boutique-only edition make for an interesting, and attractive, package.

I brought it at the end von November 2019. It's really a dream.

On their official website, it is stated the case is carbon PVD and not entirely steel. Also, are lugs entirely made of carbon or are they carbon PVD?

Unfortunately, the main problem with Time+Tide Watches is that this guy has gigantic wrists, and every watch seems way smaller than it really is.

i respect this modern design, but really miss the tag i grew up with.
