TAG Heuer Men's Carrera GMT Watch #WV2116.FC6180

Amazon.com Product Description
First introduced in 1964 to highlight the company's association with motorsports, the popular Carrera series, named for the grueling "Carrera Panamericana Mexico" road race of the 1950s, was recently re-issued by TAG Heuer. This twin-time version of the esteemed Carerra is perfect for those who travel. It features a 24-hour hand that allows the wearer to keep track of the time in two different zones. Automatic movement means this watch winds itself with the motion of your wrist and doesn't require a battery. Handsome and sophisticated-looking, this watch has a round silver-white dial with luminous diamond-polished nickel hands, hand-applied hour markers, and Arabic numerals to 24 on the flange for twin time function. A date window resides at the 3 o'clock position. Other notable features include the sweep seconds hand and the scratch-resistant sapphire crystal. The watch presents on a black crocodile strap and fastens with a polished steel push button fold-over-buckle. It is water resistant to 30 meters.


About TAG Heuer
TAG Heuer traces its roots to the small Swiss village of St-Imier where, in 1860, a watchmaker named Edouard Heuer opened his first shop. His vision was to create remarkable timepieces that pushed the envelope of innovation and precision. The company's reputation grew and Heuer's first patent for a chronograph mechanism in 1882 was followed by a long list of achievements: the first stopwatch accurate to 1/100 of a second, the first dashboard stopwatch for race cars, the first miniature electronic timekeeping device accurate to 1/1000th of a second, and the first automatic movement with a microrotor, to name just a few. Over the years, Heuer's reputation for gold-standard precision earned the company the privilege of providing official timing services for a number of world-class competitive sporting events, including the Olympic Games, the FIS Ski World Cup, and the FIA Formula 1 World Championships. To this day, TAG Heuer maintains a close association with the world of competitive sports and enjoys a devoted following among sports celebrities and enthusiasts. In 1985, Heuer joined the TAG (Techniques D'Avant-Garde) group, and the TAG Heuer name and logo were created. Now one of the most recognized and sought-after watch brands in the world, TAG Heuer continues its reputation of innovative design and technological excellence, creating prestigious timepieces that are always at the cutting edge of precision, reliability and style.
