This is to help wearers time events under an hour more conveniently. One unique thing about the Carrera Calibre 16 Day-Date Chronograph is that it has large minute indexes in place of the more usual hour markers.

Can we look forward to more such sandy versions in other TAG lines, perhaps?

It seems like TAG Heuer is taking this color scheme and running, as one can’t help but be reminded of the TAG Heuer Aquaracer 300 Caliber 5 Titanium WAY208C (reviewed here) with a very similar set of colors and materials. The numerals, arrangements, and wordings all remain intact, but it is now mostly rendered in vintage beige – or you could look at it as sandy tan. Thanks to its titanium construction, the new TAG Heuer Carrera Calibre 16 Day-Date Chronograph Black Titanium watch feels light and comfy on the wrist.įor those familiar with TAG Heuer’s Carrera Calibre 16 Day-Date Chronograph watches, you will see that not much has changed on the dial. Water resistance also remains the same at 100 meters, which means wearers can take the watch swimming with no problems. The lugs have thick bevels and arch downwards steeply to give a better fit for those with thinner wrists. The bezel is still just as thin, which accentuates the dial even more, and it is made of black ceramic and features a beige tachymeter scale, which complements the dial very nicely (more on the dial later). Case size remains the same at 43mm, but it is now rendered in the previously mentioned Grade 2 titanium with a micro-blasted black PVD finish.
