Personal Note
This feels like TAG Heuer entering a new era and its one I'm personally excited for, with the updated Aquaracers and now this new size of Carrera with the 02 movements, the future looks bright and considered for TAG Heuer! This limited edition model with the vibrant red is incredible, the shade of red is impossible to explain and even more difficult to capture, so if you are unsure book an appointment and come see it for yourself.
