Introducing The TAG Heuer Carrera Calibre Heuer 02T Tourbillon Nanograph Replica Watch

Quick Take


While everyone's been fixated on the first day of the 2019 SIHH, TAG Heuer has gone and quietly released a technologically incredible chronograph that utilizes a totally new hairspring made of carbon composite. They developed this new technology themselves and hold the patent for it too. The watch is all about showing off and celebrating that new technology in a watch that also pays homage to TAG Heuer's history via the Carrera case and name.

This watch is very much an evolution of the Carrera Heuer 02T, a watch that shook up the industry in 2016 by offering a Swiss tourbillon chronograph at a never-before-heard-of price. Building off the foundation of that watch's 45mm case (rendered here in blacked-out titanium with a carbon bezel), TAG Heuer has pushed basically every aspect of the movement to the next level. The entire thing is decorated with hexagon motifs, a reference to the nanoscopic hexagonal structure of the carbon used in the hairspring, the dial and rotor have both been openworked to let you see more of the movement, and the aluminum balance wheel is set with both white gold weights and white Super-LumiNova so you can see it beating away in the dark. Neon green accents add further drama, adorning everything from the tourbillon cage to the column wheel.

In theory though, the use of carbon here is all about performance. According to TAG Heuer, the carbon-composite hairspring is virtually unaffected by both gravitational effects and shocks, makes perfect concentric oscillations due to its geometry, thus offering better precision, is easier to assemble for their watchmakers, and has outstanding thermal behavior when paired with the aluminum alloy balance. I don't have a doctorate in materials science, but if this is as impactful as TAG Heuer suggests, we could be looking at the next generation of high-tech watchmaking right here.(TAG Heuer Carrera Calibre Heuer 02T Tourbillon Nanograph replica watch)


Initial Thoughts


I feel like I have a pretty good handle on how to evaluate a watch by now. I've been doing this professionally for a few years and know what things I should look for, the questions people are going to ask, and how to figure out relatively complex mechanisms on short notice in order to then explain them to others. All of that said, I have basically none of the tools necessary to tell you whether this is a huge revolution in watchmaking or simply a fun little experiment that has produced a horological curiosity. Either way, this looks like a super cool watch, and I'm very excited to see one up close soon enough. While a lot of mechanical watchmaking is about looking back, I always appreciate it when a manufacture decides to look into the future and bring it into focus themselves.

Breitling Colt Skyracer Replica Watch At An ‘Extremely Reasonable Price’

Breitling continues to remain very popular with aviation professionals and other high-risk activity enthusiasts who need durable and reliable instruments. Breitling has a long history of making such watches and, moreover, has been using SuperQuartz movements in certain watches in their collection (such as the iconic Aerospace) for over 20 years.

For those that aren’t familiar with their work, they create these watches from genuine NOS & new Omega parts and genuine NOS Omega movements. You’ll have to forgive me, as I don’t know the finer details of the rich history of this model, so I won’t attempt to. There are plenty of superb Omega enthusiast sites out there with every detail artfully researched. The movement This one has case number 22,615,XXX, which puts it at 1965. Please feel free to correct me if I’m wrong! The case reference is 166.0324. It is fitted with a true NOS Omega Caliber 550 movement, which (as I understand it) was manufactured for the US market. It sits on a Ref.1171/1/633 bracelet, which really looks great. I have tried it on an aftermarket sharkmesh, this looks great too – in fact, this watch looks th...
