About this watch

Band: Black Alligator Leather Clasp: Steel (Deployant) Glass: Sapphire crystal Water Resistant: 10 Bar Released to critical acclaim in 2024 at LVMH Watch Week in Miami, the TAG Heuer Carrera Dato ref. CBS2211 drew its inspiration from Carreras of the late 1960s, particularly the Dato 45 ref. 3147. The stainless-steel case measures 39 mm with short, angular lugs. The lug-to-lug is a compact 46 mm, the lug width is 20.7 mm, and it has a depth of 13.9 mm, despite housing 168 parts in the calibre alone and offering 10 bar of pressure resistance. This rating makes the watch capable of withstanding surface swimming; however, the watch is intended for the wrist of race-car drivers, not swimmers. Please note that just bumping the chronograph pushers while the watch is submerged can lead to a potentially costly overhaul. The piston-style pushers match the automotive theme of the watch, as does the unusual chronograph layout. The seemingly expansive, teal-green dial features an unconventional uni-compax layout with a 30-minute totalizer at 3 and a date aperture at 9. The watch has eschewed an hour totalizer and even a running seconds hand, while the tachymeter scale, used to measure average speed, has been placed around the rehaut. The luminous hour markers are steel with a polished rhodium finish, as is the semi-skeletonized, sword-shaped handset. Protecting the dial is a scratch- and glare-resistant sapphire ‘glassbox’ crystal. This geometry gives the sapphire strength, but also allows the wearer to read the tachymeter even from an angle without optical distortion. The watch is set on a black alligator-leather strap and secures to the wrist with a steel deployant-style clasp bearing the TAG Heuer shield logo (both OEM). Behind the sapphire exhibition…
