This all-new watch retains the case, bezel and bracelet of the original Carrera Chronograph Tourbillon Nanograph, but also unveils a stunning new multi-colored dial that is a subtle nod to the rainbow trend.
The timepiece features a 45mm black case in finely brushed grade 5 black PVD titanium. The monochromatic black base forms the perfect backdrop for the skeletonized rainbow dial, framed by a fixed carbon tachymeter bezel.
There are blue rhodium-plated chronograph sub-counters at three and nine o’clock and a multi-colored tourbillon at six o’clock. The rainbow treatment is found throughout the openworked dial as well as on the skeletonized center rotor, which is visible through the exhibition caseback on the back of the watch.
When TAG Heuer introduced its Carrera Chronograph Tourbillon Nanograph in 2019, it was the first time a carbon composite spring was used in watchmaking. This model went on to receive a nomination at that year’s Geneva Watchmaking Grand Prix in the Chronograph category, before being beaten by Bulgari’s Octo Finissimo Chronograph GMT Automatic.
Nevertheless, this watch marked a continued evolution for TAG, which had laid the groundwork for its expansion into more complicated timepieces since 2016 with the release of the Carrera Heuer 02T, a very affordable tourbillon chronograph. The Swiss watchmaker continues to build on this lineage with the launch of the limited edition TAG Heuer Carrera Chronograph Tourbillon Polychrome.
