The TAG Heuer Carrera (ref. CBN2044.FC8313) is an automatic chronograph watch, with a 42mm 18kt yellow gold case, powered by the TH20-00 movement and a 80-hour power reserve. Water resistance is rated to 100m, with chronograph, date complications. Manufacturer MSRP is $24,400. The dial color is grey.
Owners widely praise the TAG Heuer Carrera for its stunning, timeless design and excellent finishing, noting its versatility as a sporty watch on a bracelet or a dress watch on a strap. The dial's concentric circles and cut indices are highlighted for how they catch the light. Some owners consider it a trusted "wearer's watch" suitable for daily wear. However, several owners note that its value retention is not strong, with significant depreciation expected from retail, and some feel it does not offer the best value for its movement type compared to other brands. One owner observed minor index alignment concerns on the dial, specifically with the 7 and 8 markers, and the day wheel text potentially touching the upper border. Overall, owners rate the TAG Heuer Carrera highly for its blend of elegance and sportiness, with its design and finishing being the primary reasons for satisfaction.
