March 2009

Carrera Calibre 16 Day Date Chronograph
The Carrera Calibre 16 Day-Date chronograph gives a new interpretation to the classical codes of the Carrera line. Furnished with a tachymeter scale on its fixed bezel for calculating speed, its large crown and push-buttons reminding that stop-watches are inspired by the universe of racecars driving in the 1950s, while the hand-applied numerals reveal the connection with the iconic design of Carrera Calibre 360.

Carrera Calibre S Laptimer
Powered by the exclusive Calibre S movement – an electro-mechanical mechanism designed, patented and manufactured by TAG Heuer – this chronograph measures and displays 1/100th of a second, gives direct access to best time and corresponding lap number, and records times for up to 20 laps. Three hand-applied semi-circular counters on a black or silver dial with spiral effect and "Calibre S” and “Laptimer Retrograde” inscriptions; polished 43mm stainless-steel case; fixed black aluminum bezel with tachymeter scale; red second hand; luminescent markers on the red-tipped counter hands and the indexes; polished pushbutton crown with black varnish on the face; hand-applied TAG Heuer logo; and a choice of a 5-row fine-brushed and polished steel bracelet or a stylish black perforated rubber strap. Water resistant to 100 metres and equipped with a perpetual “retrograde” calendar until 2099.
