The association between TAG Heuer and Porsche has once again borne fruit with the launch of a limited edition watch that will delight all motoring enthusiasts.
TAG Heuer and Porsche have joined forces once again, this time with the extremely limited edition TAG Heuer Carrera Chronograph x Porsche 963, a tribute to the Porsche 963 racing car. Limited to just 963 pieces, this timepiece symbolizes excess in motoring and watchmaking and features details, which will impress every fan of speed and prestige.
The TAG Heuer Carrera Chronograph x Porsche 963 boasts a 44mm diameter and 15.1mm thick stainless steel case with black PVD sides. The stunning skeletal dial with tubular shapes is reminiscent of the chassis of Porsche racing cars, adding a touch of automotive technology to the watch.
The dial features four Super-LumiNova blocks positioned to mimic the LED headlights of the Porsche 911. In the dark, these luminescent markings ensure excellent legibility. The watch also has a date coated with Super-LumiNova, which further increases its functionality.
The movement of the watch, caliber TH20-00, is the latest upgrade of the former Heuer 02 movement. This new version allows for bi-directional winding, increasing efficiency and quiet operation. The watch also includes red lacquered hands and indicators that match the red accents on the dial.
The watch has several subtle and obvious references to Porsche, including the Porsche logo on the bezel, the 3D logo on the case, and the steering wheel emblem on the oscillating weight. The watchband is modeled after the low-drag NACA air inlets, adding another element of automotive heritage.
Price and limited edition
The TAG Heuer Carrera Chronograph x Porsche 963 is available for around CHF 9,000 (around €9,200 or £8,050). Each piece is individually numbered (XXX/963) and comes in a special packaging that also includes a travel bag, which emphasizes its exclusivity.
Conclusion
The TAG Heuer Carrera Chronograph x Porsche 963 watch is not just a timepiece, but a tribute to Porsche's history and achievements in the world of endurance racing. It combines technical excellence and aesthetic perfection, making it the perfect choice for anyone who appreciates speed, innovation and prestige.
