We've all likely seen these two glorious new Carrera references by now, but there are two hot questions remaining. Do you like either or both enough to pull the trigger? Because we have it on good authority that they're just about done. You can pick them both up here until they're gone. The second question is, which, in the end, is your favourite?
TAG Heuer celebrate their 160th anniversary with two limited edition chronographs that each celebrate the essence of the brand in their own way. The Carrera chronograph line has been a staple of the racing chronograph category, with drivers and automotive enthusiasts everywhere touting them on their wrists. These stainless steel chronographs present fans of the brand with two great options to choose from. Some may even opt to add both to their collections, with each being such solid entries into the collection that many will wish the TAG Heuer Carrera 160 Years Anniversary models were standard production.
They are both housed in 39mm cases, a nice compromise between modern and classic sizing, with sharp angular lugs that taper down around the wrist. While both pay direct homage to the brand’s heritage, utilising a case that is almost 1:1 with the Carrera 2447 in profile, the Silver edition maintains an aesthetic of the past while the Montreal limited edition looks to the future with bold splashes of colour - without forgetting where it came from.

The TAG Heuer Carrera 160 Years Silver Limited Edition is AUD$9350 and limited to 1860 pieces. For more details, visit TAG Heuer below:

    Co-worker brought this at work and it was unbelievably beautiful.... I wasn't interested in Tag Heuer before (didn't even know how to spell it until writing this comment), But now i think wow.. this could be my dream watch. It's not bulky and too much going on in the design, Just as much as it need to be great and impress the gentle looking. I think it's one of the greatest design among all.

    Have the silver dial variant...love it, perfect size, yes...not a thin watch, but not overly thick either. The rotor of the Heuer 02 is a bit loud for my liking but not a deal breaker...would only think of selling this watch, if TH once would release a handwound version...for me its the most attractive chronograph on the market right now, regardless of price.

    These are super gorgeous pieces, I should know I own both. Perfect size and proportions along with that classic Carrera design that I adore so much. Materials and workmanship is exceptional as well .I love everything about these bad boys, but the H02 caliber is also special in spec department. The movement runs at 28.8k at 4HZ, Column wheel, vertical clutch, 80 Hrs power reserve on a single barrel, 33 jewels, designed to be accurate with both time and Chrono function running at once. Lastly 168 components instead of 278-300 components on average on other watches. In my option a lot of watch for the money. But if one rather buy the name first instead of the watch that could be a terrible mistake. Now for what I paid new from an AD I'm super happy.

    I like both but prefer the montreal blue version. The white cream dial makes it look like a vintage watch but the case and lugs finishing makes it look modern. I think it's a very good combination. But that being said, AUD9.8k for a Tag Heuer is pretty steep so i am.not so sure if i would ever own it...

    I own both and I gotta say I'm extremely satisfy with both, design, materials and finish is top notch, the H02 is amazingly accurate and fully in-house. Column wheel with a vertical clutch, 80 hrs power reserve on a single barrel is great, only 168 parts is amazing fir less wear and low maintenance cost down the road. Most chrono movements are over 200-300 parts.

    Actually its not competing with rolex since their chrono costs 12k... it is competing with omega tough. This has as much history as the moon watch and the caliber is very good. Breitling actually puts their chronographs on a higher price point and for me tudor is a no match with heur.

    Very much in character with the original Carrera models, though more pronounced now as the case size has increased a good few mm. If they'd have changed the lug style, the purity of the design would have been compromised, but does create a pretty long lug to lug - Andrew
