For the love of ultimate road racing, TAG Heuer prepared a real treat to mark the start of the 2024 Panamericana. The Carrera Panamericana and Porsche Panamericana are the names that strike a chord with many, whether they're motorsport or watch enthusiasts. And this year, TAG Heuer has just revealed the limited edition Carrera Chronograph Tourbillon x Porsche Panamericana, celebrating the racing event and the 70th anniversary of the Porsche 550 Spyder's victory in the Panamericana race in 1954.
While we eagerly await the car's presentation in a few days, we're thrilled to introduce the Carrera Chronograph Tourbillon x Porsche Panamericana now. This edition features a sleek Glassbox design and builds on the foundation of last year's model but brings a fresh, high-octane twist. The case remains a 100m water-resistant, stainless steel, bezel-free construction, 42mm x 15.1mm, with the domed sapphire Glassbox crystal and exhibition caseback. It also retains the overall design with the crown at 3 o'clock and classic round chronograph pushers, combining brushed and polished finishes, and features an engraved historical Spyder logo on the side and special limited edition engravings on the screw-down caseback.
The skeletonized dial of the Carrera Chronograph Tourbillon x Porsche Panamericana, executed in silver with black shimmery chronograph counters at 3 o'clock for minutes and 9 o'clock for hours, is designed to "mirror the wheels of the 550 Spyder." A rounded black flange hosts the minute/second track, with the Porsche logo printed between 0 and 10 markers. The dial's dynamic, race-ready aesthetic is further emphasized by yellow lacquered chronograph hands and a one-minute tourbillon displayed through an aperture at 6 o'clock. The TAG Heuer logo is applied, while the Carrera and Panamericana names are printed for added distinction.
The caseback of the new TAG Heuer Carrera Chronograph Tourbillon x Porsche Panamericana unveils the TH20-09 movement, an evolution of the Heuer 02 calibre introduced a few years ago. This column-wheel chronograph calibre, equipped with a tourbillon regulator, operates at 28,800 vibrations per hour and provides a 65-hour power reserve while being a COSC-certified chronometer backed by a five-year guarantee.
The watch is worn on a black perforated calfskin leather strap featuring yellow lining. This limited edition is restricted to 225 pieces and priced at...
