So far, till the year of 2021, Swiss watchmaker TAG Heuer has commemorated its 160th anniversary with the release of two limited-edition models, the Carrera Silver Limited Edition and the Montreal Limited Edition. So today, crowning its yearlong celebration, the brand reveals four better models that will take part in its “evergreen” collection. Tag Heuer Calibre 02 takes tag Heuer’s iconic 1963 Timepiece Carrera and “redesigns” it, with subtle design updates and an 80-hour power reserve. 
According to TAG Heuer, the new models, releasing over two collections in two distinctive styles (the second set to debut in September), will “take [this] collection back to its roots.” Said roots go back to the Carrera’s creator, then-CEO Jack Heuer, and his well-documented love of motorsport design that informed the original, now classic model. The iconic replica watch was Jack Heuer’s “proudest creation,” according to the brand, designed to be “wonderful for drivers who need to see the time at a glance during races.”
The stainless steel cases for each popular edition boast alternating brushed and polished finishes, with shorter lugs than their predecessors, contributing to a sleeker appearance; they measure 44 mm in diameter. For the watch’s tachymeter bezel, three models use colored ceramic, in black or blue, while the fourth uses silvered steel. All these models have a screw-down sapphire caseback that helps ensure the watch’s water-resistance to 100 meters.
The satin-finished dial, sporting the vintage TAG Heuer logo at 12 o’clock and the “Carrera Heuer 02 80 Hours” inscription at 6 o’clock, uses rhodium-plated applied indexes and hour and minute hands; the hands are coated in white Super-LumiNova and have black lacquer applied to their edges.
The beveled flange and indexes slant toward the center of the dial for “undistracted reading [of the time] at a glance.” The replica tag heuer chronograph minute counter at 3 o’clock and hour counter at 9 o’clock have a perfect motif in the dial’s corresponding color, while the running seconds subdial counter at 6 o’clock bears an opaline finish; within this subdial is a small aperture for the date. Some other subtle information: the 9 o’clock hour counter now uses Arabic numerals for the 12, 4, and 8. So, there’s no doubt that this model will be one of the 2021 most popular items.
