Swiss luxury watch label TAG Heuer introduces its new limited edition design of the Heuer Carrera Red Dial timepiece. It drops to celebrate Jack Heuer's original model from the 60s for a vintage feel. It has a bright red appearance as it boasts retro design elements that stem from the same original conceptual design.
The classic silhouette is retained at the signature lugs and pushes that are now scaled up more to 39 mm. The timepiece also has a faceted index that is plated with rhodium with an hour and minute hands. Additionally, it features Super-LumiNova coating to provide clarity and has a deep red tri-compax dial. Branding details then round out the timepiece along with the black alligator strap.
