TAG Heuer Grand Carrera Calibre 36 RS Caliper Concept CAV5185.FT6020 Mens Chronograph Watch


TAG Heuer Grand Carrera Calibre 36 RS Caliper Concept CAV5185.FT6020
Mens Chronograph Watch
 Although it's a mouthful, this timepiece is one of the best looking and most advanced to sport the Grand CARRERA name. In fact, this watch is the first mechanical automatic chronograph capable of measuring and displaying 1/10th of a second increments, which comes by way of the central seconds hand. The chronometer movement is COSC-certified at a frequency of 36,000 vibrations per hour.

 The mechanics of this watch are top-notch with the Calibre 36 RS movement providing a power reserve while two 'Black Gold' Rotating Systems display chronograph minutes at 3 o'clock, chronograph hours at 6 o'clock and seconds at 9 o'clock. Amazingly, there is a rotating scale that allows precision reading at 1/10th of a second via a 10x magnification.

 To keep up with current trends, the black titanium carbide-coated case is a little on the large size at 43mm. Sleek chronograph buttons reminiscent of the pedals on GT cars are incorporated into the case. One of coolest and most innovative features of this watch is the titanium carbide-coated rubber bracelet. The TAG Heuer Grand CARRERA Calibre 36 RS Caliper Chronograph retails for about $8,900.00. This is a small price to pay for the last winner of the “GRAND PRIX D’HORLOGERIE DE GENEVE.”

About TAG Heuer

TAG Heuer traces its roots to the small Swiss village of St-Imier where, in 1860, a watchmaker named Edouard Heuer opened his first shop. His vision was to create remarkable timepieces that pushed the envelope of innovation and precision. The company's reputation grew, and Heuer's first patent for a chronograph mechanism in 1882 was followed by a long list of achievements: the first stopwatch accurate to 1/100 of a second, the first dashboard stopwatch for race cars, the first miniature electronic timekeeping device accurate to 1/1000th of a second, and the first automatic movement with a microrotor, to name just a few.

Over the years, Heuer's reputation for gold-standard precision earned the company the privilege of providing official timing services for a number of world-class competitive sporting events, including the Olympic Games, the FIS Ski World Cup, and the FIA Formula 1 World Championships. To this day, TAG Heuer maintains a close association with the world of competitive sports and enjoys a devoted following among sports celebrities and enthusiasts. In 1985, Heuer joined the TAG (Techniques D'Avant-Garde) group, and the TAG Heuer name and logo were created. Now one of the most recognized and sought-after watch brands in the world, TAG Heuer continues its reputation of innovative design and technological excellence, creating prestigious timepieces that are always at the cutting edge of precision, reliability and style.

The Grand Carrera chronograph collection presents several new models, paying homage to the original 1964 Carrera design, advancing it with a breakthrough called the TAG Heuer Calibre RS movement. The new RS movement marks a new method of time display. The rotating indicators of the Calibre 6 RS exclusive GT engine-inspired, rotating system enable wearers to read small seconds with at-a-glance access to precision timing. This Tag Heuer Grand Carrera Chronograph Men's Watch CAV511A.BA0902 hosts 'Cotes de Geneve' screw and polished beveled edges. It is complimented by curved, faceted horns on both case sides, a curved, sapphire crystal with double anti-reflective treatment and a double sapphire crystal case back. The dials on the Tag Heuer Grand Carrera Chronograph Men's Watch CAV511A BA0902 features a hand-applied TAG Heuer logo and curved faceted markers. Oversized screw-in crown and push-button clasps complete the sophisticated look of the Tag Heuer Grand Carrera Chronograph Men's Watch CAV511A-BA0902 which is also water resistant to 100 meters. The entire Grande Carrera RS series is certified with the Controle Officiel Suisse des Chronometres (COSC).
