Tag Heuer

Tag Heuer created their Carrera line of watches to pay homage to epic Carrera Panamericana Mexico race of 1963. It is a nice choice for someone that appreciates a nice little throwback to the old race car days of the 1960’s and 1970’s. It is kind of a fun watch that is reminiscent of old race cars and even has those great chronographs that can be used to time races. It’s a cool watch and we are certain you will be very happy to have it on your wrist no matter what. There are many great models to choose from in this assemblage of awesome watches and each one is equally fantastic. We recently got our hands on a few of these guys and had fun testing them out. Overall we really liked the fake Tag Heuer Carrera’s and we think that you will too.

Our Tag Heuer Carrera replica Review

Pros

Each watch in the Tag Heuer Carrera replica collection exudes a sporty and classy attitude that will allow you to wear it whether you are going for a casual or dressy look. They are made of great quality stainless steel with the occasional addition of soft leather thrown in for a different replica watch strap. If you wear this watch you are sure to get many compliments for its cool, effortless style.

This is the perfect replica watch for timing races since most of the models have extensively tested Swiss made chronographs.  Many models comes with three chronograph sub dials that allow you to time races with the use of hours, minutes or seconds displays. This is just kind of a cool feature in general though and is not limited to timing races because you can use it to time anything really.

Every watch in the Tag Heuer Carrera line is operated by 16 calibre Swiss made automatic movement engine that is fantastic and should last a long time. The use of automatic movement relieves you of having to ever replace a battery in your watch. The time kept on this watch is very accurate when set correctly and should give you +2 to +4 seconds on average. All automatic movement watches are powered by the wearer and have a reserve time for when they are left idle. The reserve power for these guys is pretty great, coming in at around 42 hours.

There is no doubt that these are expensive watches and that when you buy on it will be an investment piece. Each one will need to be serviced every 5 years and will need a full rebuild in roughly 20 years if it is cared for properly. This is not a bad thing though and you can think of this like a special heirloom that you will intend to pass along eventually.

Cons

One of the biggest issues we have with the Tag Heuer replica Carrera is that it is not completely water resistant. If you take a shower or go swimming with it on there will be a buildup of condensation on the underside of the crystal for several days. It does eventually go away, but it looks pretty awful while it’s there and it can also damage the dial. This is an issue that we find particularly annoying since this watch pretty expensive.

There is also a slight issue with the anti-reflective coating that covers the sapphire crystal. You likely won’t even notice it is there, but if you bump the face even just the slightest bit against an abrasive surface it will scratch this coating. If this happens to you, you will likely want to send it in to have the anti-reflective coating reapplied.

Now let’s take a look at some of our favorites from the Tag Heuer Carrera collection!

replica Tag Heuer Men’s CV2a.BA0796 Carrera

This is a great model from the Carrera series with its Calibre 16, Valijoux 7750 Swiss, and self-winding automatic movement. The dial is really nice with its 3 chronograph sub dials that feature 12 hour, 30 minute and 60 second displays.

The dial is careful securely protected behind an anti-reflective sapphire class face and you can see all of the gears going in your watch the sapphire crystal covered exhibition back. This model of the Tag Heuer Carrera comes with a handsome polished and brushed steel case and bracelet.

This watch is also water resistant up to 165 feet, but we suggest you be very cautious about getting it wet due to the condensation build up we mentioned earlier

replica Tag Heuer Men’s CV2010.BA0786 Carrera

This is yet another great choice from the Tag Heuer Carrera replica collection. It too has quality Swiss automatic movement and functions without a battery as it is powered by your movements.

The anti-reflective scratch resistant sapphire crystal protects a really attractive black dial, luminous hands, and date display window at the 3 o’clock position. There are also 3 really nice chronograph sub dials that are fully functional.

The dial sits nicely on a 41mm stainless steel case. A really tasteful stainless steel bracelet tops off the watch making. A cool thing to keep in mind if you like the look of this watch’s dial, but are not too thrilled with the stainless steel brace is that you can easily swap it out for one the Tag Heuer perforated leather straps.

Who It’s Best For

The Tag Heuer Carrera series is a great choice for watch lovers that appreciate a really nice looking watch that can be worn for both casual and formal occasions. Each model brings something different to the table but always remains of great quality and style. While it may not be a watch line that has many bells and whistles, it is surely one that will make the wearer happy.

Tag Heuer continually produces some of the most stylishly classy watches and the Carrera collection is no exception. Each one is very nice to look at and serves its purpose well. We think that you will be pretty satisfied with your decision to purchase one and will be able to wear it for a long time.

Tag Heuer has been cranking out innovative watches of the utmost quality for a very long time, never wavering in their dedication to making great timepieces available to everyone. Every series that is released from Tag Heuer is unique in its own way and created with a specific type of wearer in mind. This is very evident when we come to their fantastic line of Formula 1 watches. Tag Heuer came out with their Formula 1 replica watch line in 1985 and much of the inspiration behind this series was inspired by high performance F1 automotive technology. This series is perfect for auto enthusiasts that are looking for a sporty and rugged watch for everyday wear. They are perfect timepieces for an auto enthusiast and the date marker is even reminiscent of an old car odometer.

Tag Heuer Formula 1 Replica Review

Pros

Each replica Tag Heuer Formula 1 watch is friction, shock, vibration, traction-resistant. They are also resistant to external environmental elements and extreme temperature. Each watch goes through rigorous manufacturing standards and strict testing to ensure that they are going to withstand a good amount of wear and tear from daily use.

This watch line is comprised of handsomely rugged pieces for everyday wear especially since they are beautifully understated and not flashy at all. You can easily wear one of these watches for casual and formal events. They are the perfect weight and size. You know you are wearing it, but you don’t feel like you have to get a work out just to lift your arm.

You can’t go wrong with any of these masculine looking timepieces in the Tag Heuer Formula 1 series. Each replica watch is very good quality watch with exception materials. Not a single detail is spared during production and this is so evident when you get a close look at them. The pricing is amazing considering that these watches will last a very long time if cared for correctly.

Cons

The luminosity of these fake watches could definitely be brighter. It is pretty dim and at times seems like there isn’t much illumination at all. Now we know this isn’t a dive watch, but the luminosity could use a boost just for regular usage.

We really wish that more of the Tag Heuer Formula 1 watches were automatic movement. As of now only the Automatic Chronograph model is run on a caliber 16 engine and all other models are run on Japanese quartz movement. We like the thought of never having to replace a battery and having super accurate time. Hopefully future models in this series will migrate towards the automatic movement.

Each model available in this series is really fantastic in its own way. They are all rugged and functional with great features for every type of wearer. Now let’s take a quick look at our favorite replica watches in the Tag Heuer Formula 1 series!

We love the Tag Heuer Formula 1 replica series and here are our favorites!

Automatic Chronograph

Each Automatic Chronograph is run off of automatic movement with a Calibre 16 replica Swiss made an automatic engine. This watch keeps impeccable time and has 42 hours of reserve power due to its automatic engine. If you need to get a little wet, that’s ok because the Automatic Chronograph is water resistant up to 200 meters.

This model of the Tag Heuer Formula 1 replica series has a unidirectional bezel on a tachymeter scale. Within the watch’s dial, there are 3 chronographic sub dial counters and an angled date window at the 3 o’clock position. The dial is protected by a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal that is held in place by a minuterie on the flange.

To round out this amazing watch, it is made of the best quality materials. The case is made of fine brushed steel. The bezel is made of polished steel and brushed black ceramic and the bracelet made of steel and brushed black ceramic. It is a really rugged, handsome watch.

Grande Date

The Grande Date is another of our favorites from the Formula 1 series. This watch is run off of Japanese quartz movement with pretty great precision. The battery in this fake watch should last for about two years before needing to be replaced. It is safe to get this watch wet as well since it is water resistant up to 500 meters.

The Grande date also has a unidirectional bezel with a tachymeter scale. The handsome dial has an angled date window at the 6 o’clock position and luminescent markers at 12 numeral markers and watches hands.

The Indy 500 Chronograph is another fantastic model in the replica Tag Heuer Formula 1 series. There is also a tachymeter scale on the bezel for average speed measurement. You can also take a dip in the water with this watch since it is water resistant up to 200 meters.

The dial contains 3 sub chronographs as well as an angled date window at the 4 o’clock position. There are curved and polished hands with luminescent markers inlaid in the dial as well. All of the pretty and functional features are safely stored behind a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal face.

The case of the Indy 500 is made of fine brushed steel with a bezel made of fine brushed and polished stainless steel set on top of it. To complete the striking look of this watch is the watch bracelet that is made of fine brushed steel, leather, alligator or python.
