Tag Heuer have a prolific reputation, which, for the most part is completely justified. Reliable, sturdy and stylish are some of the adjectives that spring to mind. I do think it unfortunate that Tag are often the target of dedicated counterfeiters in the far east and elsewhere but I digress. The Carrera Automatic is yet another winning design from the Tag Heuer stable and encompasses all the typical characteristics mentioned.

The “Carrera Panamericana” was an epic race that was started in the 1950s and attracted many of the leading drivers of the time. Juan Manuel Fangio, the famous Argentinian driver who was Formula 1 World Champion five times, won the race in 1953. To pay tribute to this unique adventure, in 1963 TAG Heuer launched the Carrera Chronograph that combined refinement with the spirit of sport.  It was an immediate success.  It has been modernised but still retains its sober elegance. The Carrera perfectly embodies the vibrant memory of the era of “Gentleman drivers.”

The Tag Heuer Carrera Automatic retails for a cool £1,550 ($3,100).
