The TAG Heuer Carrera Split-Seconds Chronograph brings one of watchmaking’s most demanding complications into a nameplate rooted in real motorsport history. “Carrera” isn’t a styling exercise here—it’s a reference to the Carrera Panamericana, a race defined by timing, endurance, and mechanical reliability. A split-second chronograph, designed to measure multiple events at once, feels like a natural extension of that lineage rather than a decorative flex.

What’s notable is how understated the execution is. The 42mm Grade 5 titanium case keeps things light and wearable, while the dial avoids visual excess despite the complexity underneath. Power comes from the Calibre TH81-01, developed with Vaucher, visible through the sapphire caseback and finished with modern restraint. In a category where high-end watches often lean hard into spectacle, this Carrera reads more like a tool shaped by racing culture—precise, purposeful, and quietly confident. Pick one up for a cool $127,000.
