COUNT DE MONET
10815
Two reasons for the height
The movement is mostly stacked together and not screwed.
The other reason is the boxshaped glass.
The watch is very modern with its 8oh power reserve and a miniscule, little balance.
Carrera Red Alert ! …
TAG Heuer have announced the Carrera Red Dial. This watch is limited to 600 pieces. The case is the 39mm in steel, domed sapphire crystal, printed Carrera crest and Carrera model name featuring on the dial. What do you think about it ? ...
Why not use an actual number instead of One Of XXX
I think it's lame when manufacturers write One of XXX instead of using an actual number. It saves them money for manufacturing costs but it makes tracking a watch much harder and it feels less limited IMO.
Red crock or burgundy alcantra would be cool indeed!
I have been looking for a red dial wristwatch and this one is really nice also like the Reverso tribute with the red dial…
15mm thickness saved me money for otherwise an excellent dial..
A modern watch should not be more than 13mm thick unless its 500 m water resistant. Just my 2 cents...
Yes indeed it's under 15 but exact thickness is still not clear sir.
Diameter: 39mm Thickness: 14.7mm (Hodinkee)

The multiple reissues of the Heuer Carrera attest to the fact that the original design was brilliant.
But with good examples of the original 2447 still available for not much more than a reissue, it seems an easy choice to go with the original version. Plus you get a Valjoux 72 movement, the same movement that’s in the Newman Daytona, which makes it a rel...
interesting: less than 1.000 pieces
Former variations were issued at 1.000 pieces. That aside, the red touches of the movement are cool, however the orange accents on the dial are too subdude, too tame. Overall a very attractive watch.
Dear Captain, I think you have a Tag carrera Montreal from memory no? Is it the same movement?
If yes do you get COSC like rate with it?
If I can tell from my experience: the movement performs far better than COSC
My watch runs +2 sec/day. If accuracy is a worry, no need to worry here: is is really a top movement.
I like that red! Goes really well with the orangy-coloured-lume
Haven't followed Tag for a while - are their chrono's still based on Seiko's 6S37 movement?
