Porsche and TAG Heuer have announced two watches that pay tribute to the legendary 911 Carrera RS 2.7, which celebrates its 50th anniversary in 2022. Both watches aim to showcase the signature features that have made both the 1972 car and the 1963 chronograph so desirable.
The limited edition watches are based on the 42mm TAG Heuer Carrera Chronograph with its elegant tri-compax layout, minutes and hour chronograph counters at 3 and 9 o'clock, and a permanent second indicator and date window at 6 o'clock.
The TAG Heuer Carrera Chronograph will possess the brand's most advanced in-house movement, the Calibre Heuer 02 TAG Heuer has equipped its chronograph with its most advanced movement, the in-house manufactured Calibre Heuer 02, with a power reserve of 80 hours. Visible though the sapphire crystal case back, an oscillating mass is customised to represent Porsche's three-spoke steering wheel and bears the two partners' logos side by side.
The Sporty Blue Edition is limited to 500 pieces and marked with a limitation number. The polished steel case, rhodium-plated indexes and hours and minutes hands are inspired by the car's chrome door handles, mirrors, and window frames. The dial is smooth white opalin, while the two sub-counters are a snailed finish.
The Sporty Red Edition is even more limited, with only 250 pieces, each marked XXX/250. The case is made of 18K 5N rose gold, as are the crown, pushers, and screw-down sapphire case back.
