Both have the same 41mm-wide steel case, the same Calibre 16 automatic chronograph movement, the same ceramic bezel, and the same bracelet.

This particular Carrera Calibre 16 is the sister model of the similar TAG Heuer Carrera Calibre 16 CV201AR.BA0715 which costs $50 more (though I am not sure why). The same watch is also available in black tones as the reference CBM2110.BA0651. I take a look at it in its reference CBM2112.BA0651 form with a modern blue dial and matching blue ceramic bezel. Today, I review what is an entry-level Carrera Chronograph that TAG Heuer calls the Carrera Calibre 16. CAR2090, a Carrera Calibre 01 with a black PVD coating.Go shopping for a TAG Heuer Carrera Chronograph watch and you’ll find a heaping load of options available to select from - though judging by TAG Heuer’s own website, it is slimming down the selection quite a bit. Meanwhile, fans of ceramic watches will enjoy the ref.

This colorful special edition has a dial designed by Alec Monopoly. One of the collection's most unique pieces is the CAR201AA. This model, the CAR2A1L, is made of PVD-coated stainless steel. The series also contains a model dedicated to the late Ayrton Senna. Examples include the reference CAR208Z with a gray dial and steel bezel, and the reference CAR205B in rose gold. TAG Heuer offers a wide variety of sporty chronographs in the Carrera 01 series. Another special feature of this timepiece is its skeletonized dial, which offers a view of the movement at work. It was also the first Carrera to use the in-house Calibre Heuer 01.

Known for their rather conservative approach, TAG Heuer wowed the Baselword crowd with the Carrera 01's futuristic design. Baselworld 2015 saw the release of a particularly special edition: theĪ striking, innovative design defines this model and its successors. Since then, this legendary chronograph has evolved with the times while remaining an integral part of the TAG Heuer catalog. Jack Heuer originally created the Carrera back in 1963.
