Due to the large area taken by the indications, the 3 and 9 o’clock position are displayed with triangular applied index, also with a generous lume. The chronograph’s hour sub-dial has a similar construction but a different approach for the red accents.
The inner side presents a circular pattern with red accents sapping over 5 minutes indication. The subdials present an inclined register with white printed indexes. The dial layout was arranged in a “Y” setting with 30 minutes chronograph counter on the right side and 12 hours totaliser on the left side. As another applied element is the large TAG Heuer logo. The watch uses large Arabic numerals from 05 to 60 for each fifth position for excellent legibility of the central chronograph seconds.

TAG Heuer Carrera Porsche Chronograph Special Edition comes with a very interesting and racing oriented dial face. The pushers have good feedback, although the required actuating force is quite high. The side of the bezel is satin-brushed.Ī nice touch is represented by the red lacquered detail on the crown and black accents on the chron-pushers. The black ceramic bezel has a satin-brushed face with engraved indexes, a polished inclined surface that bears the tachymeter register and the PORSCHE engraving with automaker’s specific font and red colour. The top view presents a vertical brushing.
The lugs inner chamfer and in between surface is also polished. The caseband presents a mirror polish that extends on the side of the lugs. The first time on the wrist, I was a bit taken by surprise with its heavier than expected feel. So we find the familiar case lines with sharp angles and brushed/polished surfaces.Ĭased in a 44mm steel case, the watch is imposing.

Unfortunately, the pandemic situation did not allow us the freedom to do the indoor pictures. So when Marc from TAG Heuer sent me the watch (thank you!), Diana ( and I headed to Porsche Museum in Zuffenhausen. Being close to Stuttgart, the birthplace of Porsche, I wanted to use the occasion to combine “the watch” with “the car”. When TAG Heuer sent me the press release of the new watch, I have already made a plan for the photoshoot.

TAG HEUER PORSCHE DRIVER

The answer is relatively simple: they go usually “hand in hand”. Automatic, hand-wound, time only, chronograph, perpetual calendar – there is no way a watch lover will have an empty wrist. A race track, the no speed limit Autobahn, the usual asphalt or even off-road – there is an immense joy to drive a cool car. Objects of desires, both cars and watches have born passions and obsessions. The article has a large gallery with detailed products pictures and lifestyle shots.
