The changes are minor but do help to simplify the overall look as well as Tag heuer watches

Above you see the older CV2014 (left) and the new CV201AH (right). The new models offers revised hour markers, an applied TAG Heuer logo and an applied "Carrera Automatic" text rather than the printed dial of the old model. Alert eyes will also notice the revised design of the 9 o’clock sub-dial. The changes are minor, but do help to simplify the overall look as well as making room for t he Day-Date window. The Carrera Racing Calibre 16 above comes on either the Massive Quality Good Tag Heuer Replica Watches AU, or a new 5-row stainless steel bracelet- the same one offered on the Carrera 1887 41mm. As regular readers will expect, we’ll take this one on the rubber strap, which suits the sporting character well.

As you’ll see below there are three dial colours on offer- Black, Anthracite and Silver. While the Black dial has a matte finish, the Silver and Anthracite dials have that wonderful starburst finish that TAG Heuer is using across many of its new models this year. There is a double-date feature (Grande Date) at 12 o’clock, a design very similar to the date window on the Grand Carrera GMT. Unlike the Grand Carrera, the watch uses a conventional GMT dial rather than a rotating disc. Again like the Grand Carrera GMT, the new Carrera uses TAG Heuer’s Calibre 8 movement in Chronometer spec. The movement is a modular Calibre with the ETA 2892-A2 as a base and the GMT module (TT651) supplied by Soprod. The Black dial model is available with either the Black Alligator strap you see above, or a stainless steel bracelet. Available on all dial colours, the stainless steel bracelet is borrowed from the Grand Carrera http://www.hmmauto.com/breitling-replica-australia-for-sale.html. The Black and Silver combination works well together, although I don’t think I could have resisted adding at least a touch of Red somewhere on the dial/ hands.

Like all movements built on the Mikro platform, the MikroPendulum is a dual chain architecture, with independent barrels for the watch and the Chronograph. Above is a design sketch of the bridge that sits on the dial and holds the balance wheel in place. Its a beautifully crafted addition to the dial. It’s almost an after-though to add Replica Hublot Watches AU the new movement records to a precision of 1/ 100th second. Such has been the progress that TAG Heuer has made in chronograph precision over the last two years.

The latest version, the Mikrogirder, will likely see the light of day as a highly limited commercial edition like the Mikrograph and Mikrotimer before it, nonetheless, TAG's recent dedication and R&D is boosting its brand and it is regaining its reputation in horological circles. One such early effort, and more affordable chronograph, is the Grand Carrera Caliber 36 RS Caliper Chronograph that can measure time to 1/10th of a second accuracy. Probably good enough for more people's needs (and finger response times). The TAG Heuer Grand Carrera Caliber 36 RS Caliper is an imposing watch. It is 43 mm wide and 15. 75 mm high. At just over 190 grams, it is also rather heavy. Its steel construction reminds you that this is a manly instrument that can be used for serious timing tasks.
