TAG Heuer and Porsche have collaborated once again to release the TAG Heuer Carrera Chronograph x Porsche 963. This new watch is inspired by the shared motorsport heritage of both brands and features a skeleton dial, a Porsche steering wheel motif, and striking black and red accents. The limited edition TAG Heuer Carrera Chronograph x Porsche 963 is now available for purchase at a price of £8,050, with only 963 pieces being produced.
TAG Heuer is well-known for its motorsport-inspired designs, and the collaboration with Porsche continues to showcase this theme. In 2024 alone, TAG Heuer has introduced several new racing car-themed timepieces, including variations of the Monaco Chronograph and a reimagined version of the original 1986 Formula 1 watch. However, the TAG Heuer Carrera Chronograph x Porsche 963 stands out as a special addition to the collection of collaborative pieces between the two iconic brands.
Drawing inspiration from the Porsche 963, a car designed for the 24 Hours of Le Mans race, the TAG Heuer Carrera Chronograph x Porsche 963 incorporates various elements reminiscent of racing cars. The skeleton dial features tubular shapes that resemble the chassis and construction of Porsche’s racing vehicles. Additionally, a Porsche steering wheel motif is prominently displayed at the top of the dial, along with the TAG Heuer shield and Carrera branding.
The watch is equipped with a 44mm case and is powered by the in-house calibre TH20-00 movement. This movement includes a personalized red column wheel and features a vertical positioning mechanism similar to those found in cars, ensuring smooth and precise chronograph functions. The dial of the watch boasts three chronograph subdials, with a date window cleverly integrated at the six o’clock position within the seconds counter cut-out. The hour and minute hands are luminous with SuperLumiNova, while the seconds hand and two subdial hands are accented in red.
The overall design of the TAG Heuer Carrera Chronograph x Porsche 963 captures the essence of motorsport and showcases the attention to detail that both TAG Heuer and Porsche are renowned for. The watch comes with a black rubber strap and polished steel buckle, adding to its sporty and sophisticated appeal. Priced at £8,050, the TAG Heuer Carrera Chronograph x Porsche 963 is a limited edition timepiece that is sure to appeal to racing enthusiasts and watch collectors alike.
