with the new TAG Heuer Carrera Red Dial Limited Edition , a crimson-red-dialed Carrera with design cues that highlight the watchmaker ’ s long-standing role as a watch of choice among professional race car drivers .
Seen infrequently within the full TAG Heuer collection today ( with the exception of a few Formula 1 models and this stunning bronze-cased Autavia watch ), red has long been a favorite accent color for the watchmaker . A red tachymeter scale dominated many Carrera models in the 1960s . Similarly , we ’ ve also seen bright red hands for decades on the Heuer Monaco . More recently , long-time iW readers might recall the 2010 remake of the stunning 1974 Heuer Silverstone .
This newest red-dialed beauty features a brushed sunray dial with nicely snailed chronograph counters that allow light to reflect and refract .
TAG Heuer has been careful to attend to the Carrera ’ s signature lugs , pushers , glass-box sapphire crystal and tri-compax layout . Modern touches appear with SuperLuminova coatings on the faceted hands and indexes , a clear sapphire back and the slightly larger 39mm case size .
Inside , TAG Heuer places its excellent Calibre Heuer 02 , which boasts eighty hours of power reserve , a ( red-tinted ) column-wheel and special engraving that extol the limited nature of this new watch , which TAG Heuer is offering as a limited edition of 600 pieces . Price :$ 6,750 .
