The 1964 Carrera Re-edition marks TAG Heuer's first reissue in the 1990s, faithfully harking back to the Heuer 2447NT First Execution watch from the 1960s. This timepiece is a meticulous homage to the iconic Carrera, featuring distinctive diamond-polished angled lugs, three subtly recessed subdials, concise faceted indices, a gracefully domed acrylic crystal, and a timeless manual wind movement. The collection made its debut in 1996, comprising models such as the CS3111, CS3110 (with a white dial), and CS3140 (with a gold case).
The case measures an accurate 36mm and faithfully replicates the vintage model it draws inspiration from, preserving its impeccable proportions. Notably, there's no visible bezel, creating an illusion of a larger dial and a more substantial presence than its size might suggest. An intriguing detail to observe on the inner minute track is the decimal scale, a nod to the chronograph's racing heritage, capable of measuring time with remarkable precision down to 1/100th of a minute. The dial proudly displays the original Heuer logo, distinguishing it as the only reissue today that doesn't bear the word 'Carrera' on the dial, just like the original.
Under the hood, a special movement powers this timepiece – the manual wind Lemania 1873 movement, which served as the precursor to the Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch.
Included with this exceptional watch is a vintage-style beads-of-rice bracelet, perfectly complementing the nostalgic charm of the era. The package is complete with all the original boxes, papers, and a racing-style leather strap, featuring the original buckle.
