TAG Heuer Carrera x Porsche RS 2.7 pricing and availability: On the rose-gold model, rather than colouring the side with Guards Red, TAG Heuer etches it deep into the case and creates a polished and grained contrast.
The dial accents that were red in the Sporty Blue are now Sporty Red, with TAG Heuer noting the resemblance of the minute totaliser to Porsche’s iconic Fuchs wheels (not quite sure about that one).Ĭertainly bearing more than a passing resemblance is the oscillating weight of the Heuer 02 calibre, which has been fashioned and skeletonised to represent a modern, three-spoke Porsche steering wheel, all visible through the open caseback. The other model celebrates the Indischrot or Guards Red colour by pairing it with a 18K 5N rose-gold case and vibrant red alligator strap. The case, as mentioned before, measures in at 42mm and is rendered in stainless steel, with both an H-link stainless-steel bracelet and the white NATO strap included. The rest of the Sporty Blue Edition gets the same blue-and-white treatment, with the signature Carrera stripe running the length of the NATO strap and case side and blue accents on the crown and top chronograph pusher. This layout makes the Carrera a three-register chrono in disguise. While the chronograph sub-dials get a circularly grained finish, the running seconds is tucked away at 6 o’clock, just above a stepped date window. Its opaline white dial is full of blue accents, including the chronograph hands, sub-dial printing, and rehaut details. The Sporty Blue Edition is the first of the two, limited to 500 pieces and recalling the 2.7 RS’ Glasurblau colour. Sold in 27 different colour combinations, the Fuchs wheels that were colour-matched to the Carrera stripe down the length of the car inspired the design choices of TAG Heuer’s newest releases.
