Fast And Furious - TAG Heuer Carrera Panda Dial Chronograph

In 1963, Jack Heuer decided to create a chronograph designed for drivers and racing enthusiasts. In addition to accurate professional timing functions, it also needs to have wide vision, easy to read, suitable for driving, waterproof and shockproof. It is under these requirements that the Carrera chronograph was born, and now this series has become one of TAG Heuer's leading ladies. This year, Carrera is inspired by the 7753 SN watch born in the late 1960s to create a new retro chronograph, bringing us the speed and passion of that era.

The chronograph has a sporty style because of its unique design, and because its dial has many functions, in order to read more clearly and eye-catching, many brands will give it a large case when designing it, which also makes many small wrist watch friends discouraged. However, this new Carrera panda dial chronograph uses a 39mm gold size stainless steel case that is more suitable for daily wear, which can fit most people's wrists.

The side of the case uses a lot of brushing technology, while the corner details use a stronger and more glossy polishing to increase the layering of the case. Although the thickness of the watch reaches 13.86 mm, it feels lower than this thickness both visually and in terms of wearing experience. The dome-shaped sapphire crystal box-shaped watch mirror is a highlight of this watch. Its design inspiration comes from the retro watches of the Carrera series in the 1970s. While retaining its retro curved shape, the brand has also redesigned the watch mirror, which seems to be integrated with the case, and the time on the dial can be clearly read from all angles.

The silver-black "panda dial" actually has a deep connection with the Carrera series. As early as the late 1960s, it appeared on the watches of this series. And this new watch is inspired by the 7753 SN watch in the late 1960s. It adopts a dual-dial layout, weakens the small second dial at 6 o'clock, retains the classic layout of the original, and makes the dial look simpler and cleaner. On the outer ring of the dial, the contrasting black curved dial edge and the curved rhodium-plated hour markers match the dome-shaped sapphire mirror, making the watch more beautiful and coordinated. In some details, the brand also uses some red elements to add a sense of racing to the originally cute "panda dial".

TH20-00 automatic chronograph movement, as an evolution of the Heuer 02 movement, was launched by TAG Heuer in 2017. It has a swing frequency of 4 Hz, a column wheel and a vertical clutch mechanism, and the power system has been upgraded from the unidirectional winding of the Heuer 02 movement to bidirectional winding, which further improves the winding efficiency of the movement while retaining an 80-hour power reserve.
