The story behind this TAG Heuer Carrera Chronosprint x Porsche Rally
The House of TAG Heuer has deep historical ties with motorsport and the Stuttgart-based manufacturer. The Carrera Chronosprint x Porsche Rallye watch under reference CBS2015.EB0381 celebrates the legendary Monte Carlo Rally of 1965. To pay tribute to the performance of the legendary 911 of the time, the Manufacture has devised a unique complication. The chronograph does not run at a constant speed. The central seconds hand accelerates at breakneck speed over the first third of the dial to sweep across the red zone in 9.1 seconds, the exact time it took the original Porsche 911 to reach 100 km/h. This mechanical feat reflects the competitive spirit and technical daring of the 2 brands.
Case, calibre and strap of this Carrera Chronosprint x Porsche Rallye
The stainless steel case is 42 mm in diameter and 14.9 mm thick. It is topped by an ultra-curved Glassbox sapphire crystal that encloses the tachometric flange. The sparkling black dial is enlivened by azure counters and touches of bright red, reminiscent of the on-board instruments. On the back, the transparent caseback reveals the TH20-08 self-winding manufacture movement with 33 jewels. Its special oscillating weight faithfully reproduces the 3-spoke steering wheel of a classic Porsche. The movement has an 80-hour power reserve and beats at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour. The timepiece is mounted on a perforated black calfskin leather strap with clear stitching, fastened by a steel folding clasp.
