Similarly, the day-date window is framed by a 3D steel border. The 3D effect of the dial is further maximised with the raised steel branding and 3D steel hour markers. The dial rehort stands very tall and appears to reach all the way to the crystal increasing the 3D nature of the dial and allowing for a clear minute track without over cluttering the dial. However, when properly lit, the dial reveals its radial turned grooves covering the entirety of the main dial the dial takes up the vast majority of the front of the watch with the bezel work on the case being rather minimal. The dial at first glance doesn’t appear overtly unique. It is difficult to exemplify the effectiveness of the case design under our lights but in broad daylight not only are the case reflections from the delicate design highly captivating but also lead to a remarkable example of considerate case design! The split, flat lugs give the watch a unique look and the slab-sided bezel further adds to the case, especially where the lugs begin to overlap the base of the bezel likely due to the multi-piece construction of the case. With according to my count 17 different angles from which the stainless steel case will reflect light. However, the case of the Carrera is rife with intricate angles meanings the case reflects light unlike any other. The completely high polished case reflects light exceptionally by itself. The Tag Heuer Carrera has one of the most eye-catching cases I’ve ever seen. Here at The Watch Source, we’re all big fans of Tag Heuer and today on review we have one of the most recognisable pieces of their range.
So… Why all the hate? We don’t get it either.
With a product range accounting for almost every possible need. Ever since the company has developed a reputation for producing luxury swiss watches at attainable prices. Which is strange, considering they have nearing 160 years in the watch industry, originating as Uhrenmanufaktur Heuer AG in 1860 That’s 8 years longer than IWC, 24 years older than Breitling and 55 years older than Rolex! The company Heuer later being bought out by Tag to become Tag Heuer in 1985. Tag Heuer, among the die-hard watch snobs, are often rather unloved.
