TAG HEUER CARRERASKIPPER

TAG Heuer has forged a close bond with the world of motorsports, and its watches have become synonymous with automotive pursuits. However, we often overlook the fact that this Swiss brand also has deep roots in sailing. Enter the Carrera Skipper, a superb timepiece that captures the essence of a life spent surrounded by azure skies and tranquil waters.
With its sleek 39 mm design, this nautical-inspired marvel fits wrists of all sizes with aplomb. Even if you already possess other versions of TAG Heuer’s renowned chronographs, the Carrera Skipper is a delightful addition to your growing collection. Moreover, fans of the America’s Cup, especially those captivated by the Intrepid racing yacht, can proudly showcase their support with this exceptional timepiece.
Crafted with a resilient stainless steel construction, including the case, crown, and pushers, the Carrera Skipper effortlessly withstands the harsh properties of seawater. While it boasts a impressive water resistance of up to 328 feet, it’s important to note that it is not designed to replace a professional diver’s watch. Furthermore, a brushed blue dial adorned with a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal and an exhibition case back provide a captivating glimpse into the intricate mechanics of the in-house TH20-06 self-winding caliber, complete with its mesmerizing rotor.
The watch’s automatic movement ensures it continues to function for up to 80 hours. It features lume on the applied baton hour markers and the spine of the hours/minutes hands, enhancing visibility in the dark. Positioned at 6 o’clock, a date window complements the inverted delta arrangement of the trio of chronograph counters.
As a tribute to its vintage inspiration, shades of orange, green, and teal are incorporated into the design. Paired with a blue fabric strap, the Carrera Skipper boasts a steel push-button folding clasp closure system.
“Sailing’s natural affinity with motorsports and its relentless passion for precision and speed inspires this signature TAG Heuer Carrera “Skipper”. A daring tribute to our sailing heritage conveyed through a distinctive colour scheme. Resolutely iconic,” reads the description for reference number CBS2213.FN6002.
