TAG Heuer Carrera Re-Edition CV2111-0 36mm (2002)

TAG Heuer introduced the first re-edition of the Carrera in 1996, following a cautious approach that resulted in what was almost a one-to-one copy of the first Carrera from 1963. In more than two decades that have followed, we saw the Carrera first inching away from these literal homages, and then creating bold new models, as the Carrera collection showed its own vision of what a modern sports chronograph should be. Through its 32 years, features common to all the TAG Heuer Carreras have included the powerful geometry of the case, with its unique lugs, and the legibility and reliability of the chronograph in the most demanding racing conditions.

The first Carrera re-edition was true to the original Heuer Carrera from 1963 in almost every aspect, apart from the 36mm stainless steel case which was enlarged to 39mm, the geometry of the pushers, the crown, the dial and sub-dial design remained unaltered. All three versions of the 1996 Carrera re-edition have the decimal minutes scale printed on the dial, which was one of the versions available in 1963. The “telltale” to distinguish the re-edition from the original models from 1963 is that the original models had the text “Carrera” on the dial, above the Heuer shield, while the re-edition is now seen with the updated TAG Heuer logo.
