Daylight pictures and quick review of the TAG Heuer Carrera 160 Years Montreal Limited Edition ... phew that is a long name :-)!
As promised some nicer photos of my new Tag Heuer, a watch that I would have loved to own as a teenager, hence I bought it :

I certainly bought it also for its technical tidbits like the 80 h power reserve, inhouse movement, the vertical friction clutch that hinders the chrono hand to jump, the jumping (!) minute hand.
The view on the movement is showing a modular built as the balance wheel is quite deeply placed, BUT not the chrono mechanism is modular, that is still a classic integrated one with collum wheel and vertical clutch.
The modular build refers to the mainspring: it is sitting on top of the movement.
The reason being is that the mainspring can be removed from the movement without dismantling the whole movement.
Further, the only thing that is screwed is the chrono mainbridge, all other parts a only stacked or suspended.
The pushers are more than appropriate in terms of activation feel and not harsh at all.
The boxshaped saphire is not too high and the watch itself, albeit 14.7 mm high, not too thick at all.
The colours on the dial and hand are fantastic and enhaced by the true, plane white dial.
My teanage dream watch!
Cordially

An acquisition with strong emotion
That is outstanding. The movement sounds quite advanced and original. 80 hours power reserve... awesome. Another huge plus - the clean dial. Thanks to Tag for not including excessive writings, which are always a turnoff for me. But they did supply a very ...
The dial colors make for one of the most beautiful tributes to the original Heuer Carrera.
I can appreciate how this piece strikes a nostalgic chord. Any kid of the late 60s / early 70s would have wanted this watch. May it bring you much enjoyment!
Just a little humour ;-)) …
I thought your choice of shirt was excellent with this watch.
