It comes with a certificate confirming this. MaPhotos by Kasia Milton ADVERTISEMENT What We Know TAG Heuers 60th-anniversary celebration continues apace, and today the brand is looking toward the future with a completely reconceived Carrera chronograph in two color configurations: steely blue and reverse-panda black. This Heuer Heuer Carrera 3147N was part of the 'Heuer Globetrotter' exhibition where Tag Heuer celebrated their history by curating a selection of their finest pieces to display. Combining these two aspects, this is a very, very attractive watch. Aesthetically on the dial side, what you get is a very minimalistic chronograph, enhanced by the matte black dial and white rehaut. At 35mm, it wears larger on the wrist due to its elongated, inward-turning lugs, giving off a very elegant feel. I do think that the Carrera is one of the most wearable watches today. With a very unusual layout like this, at the time of its release it was not very successful- making it a very rare watch today. While a majority of Carreras featured a traditional 2 or 3 subdial layout for its chronograph functions, the Dato 45 is unique in the sense that it has no running seconds, a singular 45 minute counter at 3 o’clock and most iconically, a date window at 9 o’clock. This example here is perhaps one of the more unique variaitons- the Dato 45 Ref. Part of the fun of collecting the Heuer Carrera is that there were many variations from panda dials to reverse panda dials, all black dials and silver dials featuring a myriad of pulsometric/tachymetric/decimal scales, all slightly different and unique in their own way. Furthermore, the Carrera was the first model line released by Jack Heuer when he took over and envisioned a new direction for the company, and with the Carrera and the Autavia later on, he certainly succeeded. Functions include hours, minutes, small seconds, date and chronograph. The dome crystal ensures its vintage appeal. The vintage-inspired Carrera glassbox case houses a calibre Heuer 02 movement, which offers 80 hours power reserve. In fact, the Heuer Carrera looks just as contemporary today as it did when it was first released in 1963. The TAG Heuer Carrera Dato 45 Hodinkee Limited Edition is presented in a 39 mm stainless steel Carrera case and is powered by the caliber 02 in-house chronograph with 80-hours of power reserve. 10 hours ago &0183 &32 Pre-Owned Tag Heuer Carrera x Hodinkee Dato 45 Limited Edition (CBK221DFC6479) self - winding automatic watch, features a 39mm stainless steel case surrounding a black dial on a brand new black alligator strap with a stainless steel deployant buckle. Created in collaboration with HODINKEE, the TAG Heuer Carrera ‘Dato’ HODINKEE limited edition watch takes inspiration from the iconic Heuer 3147N ‘Dato 45’ chronograph introduced in the 1960s. The appeal lies in the racing history of the Carrera and also its minimalistic good looks. With the Heuer craze of late, while the Autavia may have stolen some of the spotlight, it is the Carrera that continues to go up in price with collectors still looking for rare examples.
The Heuer Carrera is a historically significant line for the ‘Heuer’ brand name and certainly a favourite amongst collectors.
