I don't know how Tag Heuer managed to get this one so perfect and then to screw the Carrera Twin Time so badly!... I have the last one, actually bought it just to help a friend of mine in a delicate moment, but man is bad looking the Twin Time compared to this! Great watch and nice reviews!

Excellent review, Semone. Your photography of this watch makes it look really fantastic. Between this in the Speedy, I would choose this. However, the 12 o’clock date wheel, and the price would make this a no go for me.

The date is quirky and a throw back to the model this one represents, which is why it's a bit different than the others. Great looking watch with a great movement. Bravo tag 🎉

I absolutely love these. Great size, great look and from when I tried it on, comfortable on wrist. I love the Skipper version, with my only small complaint being the Skipper word on the subdial. That one I've only seen in photos though. I've tried on the blue and black versions, and these actually feel appropriate for the price they've been charging. Thanks for pointing out the lume as I wasn't aware of that issue. That being said, I don't need a watch like that to be torch-like. Even some lume is enough. I have a chronograph without lume and it's quite annoying, especially since it doesn't have reflective markers and hands like the Carrera. I like the clear case back, but also appreciate that it's automatic, unlike the Speedy (I know why that one is manual). I hope we'll see a silver dial Panda model maybe this year, though I would be torn on which to get. This is definitely one of the top 5 watch releases of 2023 for me.

@@BowlOfSalmonI keep hoping Tudor will both release a blue P39 and NOT have that lume issue. It's shocking they can't resolve that easily, nor why they even had it in the first place. This is Tudor, not some cut rate brand.

I tried this again yesterday and the 42 Porsche version. I wish there was a bracelet. Maybe this year. Such a beautiful watch. The dial is so good. Another great review Tom. Tag is definitely lifting their game again. With a bracelet it would be a definite challenger for the Speedy. The size of the dial is much better than the Moonwatch.

I’ve got the 60th anniversary Carrera limited edition , I couldn’t find any info on the movement also, but mines about +3 secs a day, yes the lume is not the best but I know it’s not a dive watch so I don’t mind so much, the turning on the rotor is a bit noisy but besides these things everything else is great! ❤

This was really small on my 7" wrist. The sales person says "everyone keeps saying that" The chronomaster looked more significant when I tried it on in Cozumel.

Beautiful watch. Unfortunately the thickness of the watch and the bad reputation of Tag among watch nerds may compromise its success.

Not COSC certified but runs comfortably within COSC limits, I image the tradeoff is cheaper customer prices for no tradeoff on your. My Calibre 5 runs at +\-1 second a day depending on how much it is worn and rested… it’s also not a COSC certified chronometer but it sure as heck keeps time like one which means more than a line of text or a symbol on the watch cards to me at least

@@Gerryb92 it’s also one of the things that separates the Heuer Carrera from its competitors, the Carrera was designed by Jack Heuer to be the best chronograph for readability, designed for racers to quickly read the dial without distractions. They have released several pieces that just don’t quite live up to that DNA but this is bang on for what makes a Carrera a Carrera! I don’t need or want a book on my dial, I know what’s inside it, I know the performance of it, just give me a clean and highly legible dial which is why I’ve reserved the Reverse Panda.
