In our range of the TAG Heuer Carrera you'll find automatic men's and women's models. The series was launched by Jack Heuer in 1963 and is the brand's most elegant sports watch. You order online and get it delivered to your door. As an official TAG Heuer dealer we sell it with a manufacturer warranty, and if you can't find your favourite in the range, just ask – we can help with the orderable Carrera models too.
What makes a Carrera a Carrera?
It takes its name from the Mexican Carrera Panamericana road race, and you can see it: a clean dial you can read at a glance, with the logic of a dashboard. The Carreras in our range are automatic, most of them rather elegant, with a smaller share in a sportier design – in other words, this is the TAG Heuer you can confidently wear with a suit.
Calibre 16, Heuer 02 – what do these names mean?
These are the names of TAG Heuer's automatic movements, or calibres, and many people search for them before buying a Carrera. You can see which one powers a given model in the movement details on the product page, or ask us and we'll tell you.
How water-resistant is the Carrera, and which should you choose?
The Carrera is not a dive watch: most models are 10 ATM, so you can swim with them, while some of the more elegant pieces are 5 ATM and are meant more for rain and hand washing. When it comes to case size, the width of your wrist decides: measure the diameter of the watch you wear now and compare it with the dimensions on the product page – if the ends of the bracelet or strap overhang your wrist, the case is too big. You'll find a women's Carrera among women's TAG Heuer watches, a men's one among the men's TAG Heuer range, and the other series on the TAG Heuer watches page.
If you're torn between two models, write to us: we'll tell you how each one sits on the wrist and which suits what you'd use it for.
Carrera: price, movement, water resistance in brief
Is every TAG Heuer Carrera automatic?
The Carreras in our range are automatic, with no battery. The motion of your wrist winds them, so if you leave one aside for days, you need to restart it before wearing.
What determines the price of a TAG Heuer Carrera?
Mainly the movement and the finishing: three-hand automatic models are the entry level of the series, while in-house chronographs, such as those with the Heuer 02 movement, form the higher range.
Where does the TAG Heuer Carrera get its name?
From the Mexican Carrera Panamericana motor race. The series was launched by Jack Heuer in 1963 and has been a symbol of the brand's motorsport ties ever since.
Can you shower with the TAG Heuer Carrera?
With the 10 ATM Carreras, yes, and most models are like that. Take the 5 ATM elegant pieces off for the shower.
