TAG Heuer and Porsche, two brands linked by a rich history in the world of motorsports, have joined forces to create a limited edition watch: the TAG Heuer Carrera Chronograph x Porsche 963. This exceptional timepiece pays homage to the legendary Porsche 963 racing car and embodies the shared values of the two brands, such as functional design and the quest for performance.
A design inspired by automotive engineering
The TAG Heuer Carrera Chronograph x Porsche 963 features a resolutely sporty design, which is directly inspired by the world of motor racing. Its tubular skeleton dial and 44mm finely brushed steel case give it a robust and dynamic appearance.
The black forged carbon tachymeter bezel harmonizes perfectly with the aesthetics of the watch and recalls the high-tech materials used in the construction of competition cars.
A dial that pays homage to the Porsche 963
The dial of the TAG Heuer Carrera Chronograph x Porsche 963 features the emblematic color codes of racing cars. The chronograph counters are treated in black, with blocks of Super-LumiNova to ensure optimal readability in the dark, while paying homage to Porsche's innovative LED headlights.
Touches of red enhance the monochrome dial, particularly through the lacquered hands. A subtle nod to the gauges and design elements of the Porsche 963.
A high performance movement
The TAG Heuer Carrera Chronograph x Porsche 963 is powered by the TH20-00 caliber, a manufacture chronograph movement also offering date, hour, minutes and seconds indications. The sapphire crystal back of the case allows you to admire the careful finishing of this high-precision movement.
A bracelet inspired by NACA air intakes
To complete the resolutely racing design of this watch, TAG Heuer has opted for an integrated rubber strap, which is inspired by the NACA air intakes used in aerodynamics. The central link of the bracelet is engraved with the number “963”, in reference to the Porsche 963.
The launch campaign features American driver and actor Patrick Dempsey, thus reinforcing the close link between the watch and the world of motor sports.
Priced at $9,200 USD, the TAG Heuer Carrera Chronograph x Porsche 963 is an exclusive watch, produced in just 963 examples. It is already available for purchase from TAG Heuer.
This collaboration between TAG Heuer and Porsche gives rise to an exceptional timepiece, which pays homage to the legendary Porsche 963 while embodying the spirit of performance and innovation dear to both brands. A must-have for watchmaking and motorsport enthusiasts, who will appreciate its bold design and cutting-edge technical features.
