It’s a true test of speed and endurance, and the winners will be celebrated as legends of the sport. Take your chance to watch the race live with the new Tag Heuer Carrera X Porsche 963!
A Tribute to Real Racing Precision
As part of their long-term partnership with Porsche, TAG Heuer has given us a watch inspired by the race and its iconic car. Let us introduce the TAG Heuer Carrera Chronograph x Porsche 963!
Are you impressed yet? The Porsche 963 is a legendary Le Mans racing car, and its design is echoed in the watch’s case and dial. The case is made of steel, with inner parts featuring black PVD treatment. This is what gives it an even bolder, sportier look! Due to the dial, the look is indeed more aggressive.
The Porsche logo is on the left side of the PVD case, with the 963 inscription on the lower part near the lugs. The dial is semi-skeletonized and inspired by car suspension. And we can see those intertwined bridges that look aggressive.
There are several noteworthy features. Let’s take a look below:
- The white Super-LumiNova block indexes. They have a distinctive red index at 4 o’clock signify the start of the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
- Red accents on the chronograph hands.
- An SLN-coated date display.
These ensure the watch remains functional and readable in low light conditions. And that makes it particularly practical for a 24-hour race.
What Else Is There?
The automatic mechanism powering the new Carrera x 963 is the same as in the impressive Glassbox model – the TH20-00. An enhanced version of the Heuer 02 caliber has a skeletonized rotor that winds in both directions. It now has an 80-hour power reserve. The 80-hour power reserve ensures the watch will remain accurate for a long time. Also, the rotor is coated with black PVD, making it more resistant to corrosion and wear.
Still, before you fall completely in love with this model, note its size: 44mm in diameter and 15.1mm in thickness. It’s not a small watch, as you can tell. Yet, it is ideal for true lovers of sports chronographs used to such dimensions. Only 963 pieces will be produced (symbolically), available now for 10,000 euros!
The watch is a limited edition and is sure to become a collector’s item in the years to come. As you can see, it is made with the finest materials and is precision-engineered for maximum performance. Act quick if you want to get your hands on this exclusive timepiece!
