The TAG Heuer Carrera Chronograph was first created as a high-precision, high-performance timepiece made for professional racers in the Carrera Panamericana Mexico road race in 1963. The Carrera has famously been a dangerous race, and the namesake watch has been associated with perfectionists who only go for the best in life.

The design of the 60th anniversary Carerra features a panda dial with a dashing contrast provided by the silver and black colors.

The indexes and the markers on the dial are luminescent in the dark, fully cementing the watch’s position as a high-performance timepiece. The design of the watch, however, is as classy as any watch one could pick. The 39mm circular case is larger than many of the previous Carreras and quite stylish. The back of the watch is naked and provides a unique blend of contemporary watch design and the classic look of the Carrera.

A standout detail of the 60th edition Carrera Chronograph is the raised-profile glass box.

The elevated glass box adds an extra, beautiful dimension to the looks of the watch when viewed from different angles. The liquid-tension-like ring from the glass box also adds to the retro look of the watch in a spectacular way. Details, such as the Heuer engraving on the crown, are very welcome.
