TAG Heuer Carrera Chronosprint x Porsche Rallye

TAG Heuer continues its collaboration with Porsche by introducing the Carrera Chronosprint x Porsche Rallye, a chronograph that blends Swiss watchmaking precision with the spirit of classic motorsport. Inspired by the legendary 1965 Porsche 911 ‘147’, the first 911 to compete in the Monte Carlo Rally, this limited-edition timepiece captures the essence of speed and performance. With a bold black dial, striking red accents, and a unique chronograph scale reflecting the car’s acceleration, this model offers a refined yet dynamic take on the Carrera design. Available in stainless steel or 18K yellow gold, it delivers a fusion of heritage, innovation, and motorsport passion.
The 42mm case features a 14.9mm thickness and is crafted in either stainless steel or 18K 3N yellow gold, presenting a bold yet balanced presence on the wrist. Its fine-brushed and polished surfaces create a dynamic interplay of light, accentuating the elegant curvature of the faceted lugs. These lugs, with their subtle truncation and inward angle, seamlessly transition into the bracelet or leather strap, ensuring both visual harmony and ergonomic comfort. A fixed bezel, polished to perfection, frames the domed sapphire crystal, lending a refined yet athletic look to the chronograph.
Flipping the watch over reveals a sapphire exhibition caseback, offering an unobstructed view of the Calibre TH20-08 Automatic movement. The Côtes de Genève-decorated bridges and the openworked steering wheel-shaped rotor underscore the timepiece’s intricate craftsmanship. The caseback is secured with screws and features engraved limited-edition markings, distinguishing the 911-piece steel model and the 11-piece gold edition as exclusive collector’s items.
The capstan-style pushers and fluted crown, both crafted in steel or gold, ensure smooth operation, with the crown engraved with the TAG Heuer shield for added distinction. A domed sapphire crystal with an anti-reflective coating enhances legibility, while the robust case construction ensures durability. Water resistance is rated at 100 meters (328 feet), making it well-suited for everyday wear and high-performance precision.
The black dial features a shimmering sunray-brushed finish, creating a dynamic play of light across its surface. Surrounding the outer edge is a flange marked with a 60-second/minute track, emphasizing the watch’s racing inspiration. A subtle red arc from 0 to 8.4 seconds pays tribute to the acceleration time of the 1965 Porsche 911 ‘147’ at the Monte Carlo Rally.
The tri-compax chronograph layout consists of a 30-minute counter at 3 o’clock, a small seconds sub-dial at 6 o’clock, and a 12-hour counter at 9 o’clock. Each sub-dial features a snailed texture for depth and contrast, with silver-toned tracks on the 3 and 9 o’clock registers, while the small seconds counter at 6 o’clock integrates a date window for added functionality. The red lacquered hands across the chronograph counters enhance visibility and reinforce the motorsport theme.
For optimal legibility, the faceted rhodium-plated hour and minute hands are lined with beige Super-LumiNova, ensuring readability in low-light conditions. The applied hour markers, also rhodium-plated, follow the same luminous treatment, maintaining the signature Carrera legibility while seamlessly integrating the vintage Porsche-inspired color scheme.
