Tag Heuer is going to launch a brand new Carrera Calibre 5 watch model in early autumn. The watch will come in two versions – with either a brown or black dial.

Like all Carrera timepieces, Carrera Calibre 5 watch’s dial is decorated with the Clous de Paris pattern. What distinguishes this watch from other members of the Carrera family is that the dial of the watch features twelve hand-applied hour markers instead of Roman or Arabic numerals. The markers and polished baton hands are coated with a luminescent substance for maximum readability in the dark. Another distinctive feature of this watch is that the date display window is positioned 3 o’clock, unlike other Carrera watches where the window is located at the 12 o’clock position.

The watch is powered by Calibre 5, or, in other words, the Tag Heuer branded automatic ETA 2824-2 movement, which is used in many automatic Swiss watches. The movement can be seen trough the sapphire crystal case back window. The timepiece is water-resistant to 330 ft (100 meters), which means that the wearer of the Carrera Calibre 5 watch by Tag Heuer can surf, swim or snorkel, but would better take off the watch in order to dive.
The Carrera Calibre 5 watch comes with a stainless steel bracelet with five-row link design, combining both polished and brushed surfaces. The clasp of the strap has safety push buttons in order to prevent the unintentional opening.

If you are interested in the Carrera family of Tag Heuer watches but don’t think that a watch is worth so much money, you may consider purchasing a replica Tag Heuer watch. Looking exactly as the real timepieces, Tag Heuer replicas are much cheaper but perfectly reliable.
