Latest Vintage Piece
2013 Tag Heuer Carrera Chronograph CV2014-2 41mm $2,300.00 CAD. 520-00089
Have you checked out the pricing lately of a good used Rolex Daytona or Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch? Although off their all time high prices we saw during Covid they have still seen strong appreciation over the last few years. Finding a classic Swiss chronograph without spending a fortune is getting more difficult all the time. A weak Canadian dollar is adding to pricing pressures too. The Tag Heuer Carrera CV2014-2 is a watch that offers a classic, purposeful, sporting look without the sky high pricing.
The Carrera was introduced in the mid 1960s and was arguably more popular than the benchmark Rolex Daytona of the period. It was standard equipment on many wrists of automotive sports participants, especially in rally car racing. Even today the Carrera looks the same as it did over half a century ago. Instead of a manual winding 17 jewel movement, the modern Carrera chronograph is equipped with a 25 jewel automatic Swiss made mechanism with a 12 hour chronograph and calendar (something the original lacked). This example is old enough to feature an original Tag Heuer modified Valjoux 7750 movement, which is visible through the display case back.
Tag Heuer’s watchmakers slightly modify the movement for their application and rename it the Calibre 16. It’s a reasonably sized watch with a case diameter of 41.5mm. The black dial with bright red chrono registers forms a classic sophisticated/sporting look, especially with the black tachymetre bezel. Our latest Carrera comes with the original soft rubber strap with embossed logo and 144 perforations with a stainless steel signed deployment buckle.
If you ever decide you want to go all in for a Daytona or Moonwatch, Carreras like this are always welcomed back as trade-ins. Our example is in very good condition, looking hardly worn. The bezel insert and bezel frame show just the lightest of impact marks. This watch was originally purchased in Canada at Birks Yorkdale and comes with the original packaging, documents, and dated/endorsed warranty card.
Comes with a complimentary 1 year Bill Le Boeuf Jewellers warranty, the watch is estate priced at $2,300.00 CAD. Stock #520-00089.
