TAG Heuer Carrera Chronograph iN Green

Back in 2020 was when TAG Heuer seized the opportunity to revamp their “Carrera Chronograph” collection with a larger 44mm model. Since then in a short timespan this version expanded into various iterations from vintage-inspired classics, to also including some innovative aspects. The latest edition appears in green and features a new never before seen rubber strap, designed with links to resemble a bracelet. The 44 mm case is made of stainless-steel with brushed surfaces that contrast with polished finish casebands. Mounted by a fixed green ceramic bezel engraved with a white tachymeter scale. This case design is based on the updated “Carrera Chronograph” that came out in 2020, which still retained the trademark Carrera style lugs.On the flip-side is a transparent sapphire exhibition case back that allows a view into the inner workings of the mechanical movement. It also comes equipped with two steel push-pieces to operate the chronograph functions, plus a knurled setting-crown engraved with the Heuer logo. All topped by a domed beveled sapphire crystal with double anti-reflective treatment. Water-resistance can reach up to 100 meters (330 feet).Time is exhibited on a green dial with steel applied hour indices with white interiors, while circling a sloped flange is a white minute track. The dial has an overall radial brushed finish.The tri-compax layout is composed of two snailed chronograph counters: a 30-minute counter at 3 o'clock and a 12-hour counter at 9 o’clock. The small seconds appears at 6 o’clock with a plain interior that includes a white date aperture.The steel central hands follow the same aesthetics of the indices with a touch of white, while the central chronograph hands and sub-dial hands have been kept in white. The central hands and hour index markers have all been fitted with a green luminescent coating, for an enhanced legibility.
