TAG HEUER LAUNCHES A SPECIAL EDITION , gold-cased Carrera chronograph with a debut dial design that echoes the famed Heuer reference 1158 CHN . Collectors might also spy a two-tone color palette of the John Player Special livery from Formula 1 in the 1970s and 1980s .
The TAG Heuer Carrera Chronograph sports a 42mm yellow gold case with matching gold pushers and crown . The impressive black sunray brushed dial plays nicely with prominent gilded dial elements . The most spectacular of these elements are the two gilded gold chronograph sub-dials at 3 o ’ clock and 9 o ’ clock . TAG Heuer also plates the hands and indexes with matching yellow gold to heighten the retro luxury factor of the entire piece .
Through the clear sapphire back TAG Heuer makes visible its own Calibre Heuer 02 , which is decorated with a customized black oscillating mass . With a vertical clutch and column wheel , the movement provides a power reserve of an impressive eighty hours . Finally , TAG Heuer matches the gold watch with a black alligator strap with a gold pin buckle .
Price : $ 21,500 .
