Latest Vintage Piece
Tag Heuer Carrera Chronograph blue ceramic CBM2112-0 41.5mm. $3,100.00 CAD. 520-00178
The Tag-Heuer Carrera and Porsche Carrera are both pinnacle products for each brand. TAG Heuer’s Carrera line was part of a great race in the mid-1960s to develop the first automatic winding chronograph. Heuer partnered with Breitling and Hamilton to face off against Zenith. Together they launched their Calibre 11 six months before Zenith’s El Primero hit the market. The caliber 11 was shown in a line of automatic chronographs that debuted in Geneve and New York. The launch included TAG’s Carrera, Autavia, and Monaco models. The original Carrera itself was designed and launched in 1963 by Jack Heuer as the first chronograph (not yet automatic) specifically designed for professional drivers. He was inspired by La Carrera Panamericana Mexican Road Race; one of the most famous events in auto racing history running only from 1950-1954. Porsche competed in the grueling Mexican race and won its class in 1952.
The name Carrera is reserved for Porsche models of special high performance specification and race developed models. Our latest Carrera is a sporting watch that keeps the tradition of high performance mechanical timekeeping with an analogue stopwatch feature. The stopwatch registers are distinguished by the bright orange tips on the hands for hours, minutes, and seconds. The start/stop pusher button is also highlighted with and orange band. This is our first Carrera to feature a blue dial with a super hard and resistant ceramic tachymetre bezel scale.
The sharp edged bezel has historically been made of stainless steel that is prone to getting dents and dings as it sits outside the case diameter. This design should fend off the pesky impact marks. The sunburst blue dial with silver register rings is very attractive, seeing some colour on a Carrera is welcome as most we see are black. This watch is in lightly worn original condition showing only minor scuffs and light scratches on the case and bracelet.
If you’d like a current edition blue ceramic Carrera, it is shown on the Tag Heuer website for $8,950.00. Our lightly worn Carrera comes with its warranty card (not dated), instructions, and packaging. The watch is running great and keeping excellent time. Included with purchase is our complimentary 1-year warranty. Price is $3,100.00 CAD. 520-00178.
