The Carrera Day Date 41 has day and date apertures at 3’, while the Carrera Date 39 has a date aperture at the symmetrical 6’ position. Where they differ is through their date complication. You also have a blue sunray and silver sunray dials to choose from as well if you would prefer a brighter aesthetic to your timepiece.Įach of the dials have bold applied hour indices and applied TAG Heuer logos, with a stepped outer minutes track taking the flange real estate to create a clean aesthetic and provide the utmost legibility. The Carrera Day Date 41 and Date 39 are both available with the same dial colours and finishes: two black sunray dials, one with rhodium-plated hands and applied accents and one with 5N rose-gold plated hands and applied accents. While perhaps an elegant and dressy watch on the surface, it maintains its sports heritage with a 100 metre depth rating suitable for today’s active lifestyles. The front facing elements of the case, the bezel and lug hoods, are all mirror polished, but a satin brush is introduced in the caseband perimeter (of the 39mm and 41mm references) to create light play through mixed finishes. Today, TAG Heuer revisits the collection – ushering in the next generation of three handers with the new Carrera Three Hands Day Date 41, Carrera Three Hands Date 39, and Carrera Calibre 9.Īs a flagship icon, TAG has maintained the winning formula the collection has excelled with – clean stainless-steel cases with sharp lines and faceted lugs. Decades later TAG Heuer would further hone in on the concept of simplicity, stripping the Carrera to the essentials while maintaining the clean lines and aesthetic the collection built its name upon with the Carrera Three Hands introduced in the early 2000’s. It would be the perfect name for a new timepiece. The Spanish word Carrera, which means road, race, career or course, immediately caught his attention. In 1962, Jack Heuer heard about the famous Carrera Panamericana car race, one of the most dangerous in the world. He wanted to create a harmonious chronograph watch that conveyed all the necessary information that drivers would love, but in an uncluttered manner that would allow anyone to quickly discern the time even during the heat of a race.
More than 60 years ago, Jack Heuer was inspired to create a timepiece with clean lines and proportions – a watch that leveraged a sense of modernity and purity.
