The new Carrera Chronograph Glassbox comes in a stainless steel case with a diameter of 39 mm and whose lines are highlighted by alternating polished and satin-brushed surfaces. The lugs bend downward to follow the profile of the wrist for excellent wearability.

Back in the spring of 1963, during the traditional Basel fair, Heuer unveiled the iconic Carrera chronograph, which garnered worldwide acclaim and secured its position as the brand's most renowned swiss replica watches. Inspired by the legendary "Carrera Panamericana" road race that spanned a week in Mexico, the Heuer Carrera was purposefully crafted with a driver's needs in mind, placing utmost emphasis on ergonomics and legibility

The case is topped with a sapphire crystal shaped liked the domed hesalite crystals found on Carrera models from the 1970s. But the key difference is that, for this model, the crystal has been redesigned to have a curve that flows seamlessly over the tachymeter scale that runs around the dial edge and into the case.

In the same way replica watches usa, the flange and indexes have been curved, too, for a seamless integration in the structure. This development is not merely aesthetic as it also makes the tachymeter readable from a wider range of angles. Both sides of the sapphire crystal have an anti-reflective treatment.

The total thickness of the watch is around 14 mm which might appear pretty high for a case with a diameter of 39 mm but this is typical of wristwatches featuring box-shaped glasses. In fact, the crystal alone is around 3 mm-thick. All in all, we like the resulting look and we believe that the domed crystal plays a key role in defining the vintage style of the model.

Last March, to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the model, TAG Heuer replica watches launched the Carrera Chronograph Glassbox 39 mm, a brand new interpretation presented in two variations: one with a signature blue dial and the other with a racier, black and silver 'reverse panda' dial, the nickname given to black watch dials with high-contrast white or silver subdials.

We recently had the opportunity to wear and test both models and we are now glad to share our impressions and more live pictures.
