TAG Heuer Carrera Green Special Edition

Green High Quality Replica watches are everywhere. This one is more interesting than most.

I won’t say that I don’t like green watches. That won’t be true. I would definitely wear them in the house, although I would think twice before wearing them with a mouse. I would say that the current green watch trend is out of control, as Cole recorded in a great article during Watches and Wonders. But at this point, what else? On its own merits, the watch you see here is very cute. It deserves to stand out.

This morning, TAG Heuer released the new Carrera Green Special Edition. This is a vintage-inspired limited edition cyan timepiece that pays homage to the brand’s chronograph manufacturing tradition. This is one month after TAG released a different green watch: the Monaco green dial to celebrate the Monaco Historic Grand Prix.

You may recognize the case design here, because we have seen the brand use a lot in its Heuer Carrera retro style works. The same case is used. It has a diameter of 39 mm, a polished surface, a thin bezel, and a water resistance of 100 meters.

This watch pays a direct tribute to the vintage Heuer reference model 2447, sharing most of its styling, including the domed sapphire crystal. Adding to the retro effect is the use of artificial patina on the glow map and hands. The luminous map is applied above each similar polished hour marker with a retro style.

Interestingly, although there is no vintage green Heuer Carrera, the blue-green hue feels very mid-century. It looks like the kind of watch you might find in a box collecting dust in the basement-as if the original emerald green faded into a cooler shade than the original.

All of this shows that despite being the newest player in the field of green watches, this particular watch feels more intentional-more thoughtful. The Heuer Carrera series has no lack of history and heritage, and the green special edition can blend it with modern watchmaking and finishing.

Through the back cover of the exhibition, you can see the TAG Heuer Calibre Heuer 02 automatic manufacturing movement inside the watch. This is a column wheel, vertical clutch chronograph with an 80-hour power reserve. The back of the rotor is painted black with cyan text that matches the aesthetics of the dial.

The new TAG Heuer Carrera Green Special Edition is issued in a limited edition and comes with an alligator leather strap-although the strap is black, unlike the typical gray-green alligator leather.
