About the new TAG Heuer Carrera Heuer-01 Full Black Matte Ceramic watch
The recently launched TAG Heuer Carrera Heuer-01 Full Black Matte Ceramic is the latest variation of the Carrera 01 family that was first introduced in March 2015. The idea behind these massive 45mm timepieces is to provide a unique, instantly recognizable case for the in-house movement. These Carrera watches are meant to showcase the 13 ligne, self-winding chronograph movement, the TAG caliber 01, which boasts a 50-hour power reserve.
The Full Black Matte Ceramic version of the Carrera Heuer-01 uses ceramic exclusively throughout (except, of course, in the movement). The watch comes with either a ceramic bracelet or a rubber strap, and the push pieces for the chronograph and the crown are black titanium carbide. The case is made of separate components, and the lugs, case middle, and bezel are all ceramic. Sapphire crystals with AR coating are used on both sides, and the skeletonized dial from the original Heuer-01 is retained, with water resistance of up to 100m.
In contrast to the original modular case construction concept used in the first Carrera Heuer-01, this latest version marks a departure. Speaking in an interview with WatchTime to commemorate the launch of the first watch, TAG Heuer CEO Jean-Claude Biver stated, "The design of the new Carrera is more modern than the previous models. You may not necessarily recognize it from a certain distance. It still looks a lot like a Carrera. That's exactly what I wanted – a new case, but one that's similar to the old one. The biggest difference between it and the older model is its modular construction. We took advantage of the technology of the Hublot Big Bang, with its modular sandwich design. These cases are produced in-house."
Despite its clear intention to be eye-catching, the all-black theme and substantial size make it an almost retro-looking timepiece. The all-black watch trend and large size are reminiscent of design cues from the mid-2000s. However, the price of the Carrera Heuer-01 Full Black Matte Ceramic model sets it apart from that era. The rubber strap model and the bracelet model cost $6,300 each, which is in keeping with the brand's historical and brand identity pricing strategy under Biver's direction.
This watch is very complicated and expensive to make, thankfully we have AAA replica watches available, this replica tag heuer carrera heuer-01 is made of all ceramic, the case and bracelet are matte black with a transparent dial and large time markers. The dial has a unique skeleton design and part of the movement construction can be clearly seen, including the date wheel and counters. The watch is cloned from the Asian 7750 movement and is satisfyingly accurate, but it is recommended that the chronograph function not be used too often. While the skeleton construction of the watch is difficult to replicate perfectly, the overall design and level of craftsmanship makes the watch very close to the real thing and is a great value.
