The partners Tag Heuer Replica and Porsche have once again collaborated to develop a sporty timepiece with a special character that has its roots in the world of racing – the TAG Heuer Carrera Chronograph x Porsche Orange Racing.

TAG Heuer and Porsche are once again celebrating their shared history and passion for racing

TAG Heuer and Porsche share a rich history, an independent, dynamic mentality and a commitment to outstanding design. Their paths have met and crossed on and off the racetrack for around 70 years. The solid, lasting connection between TAG Heuer and Porsche is based not least on their shared beginnings in motorsport, with one of the most obvious similarities undoubtedly being the name Carrera itself. The Carrera Panamericana is legendary and is considered one of the most dangerous races in the world. It inspired both Porsche, which achieved its first class victory in the Carrera Panamericana in 1954 and named its most powerful model after it, and Jack Heuer, who had heard about the race with the promising name from the Rodriguez brothers in Sebring (Florida/USA) in 1962 and then decided to name his new 1963 chronograph after it.

The Porsche 911 Carrera and the TAG Heuer Carrera have since become icons, recently celebrated in Paris on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the Porsche Carrera 911 RS 2.7.

Against the backdrop of several memorable successes and with the pride of such a fruitful partnership, it seemed only logical to develop a new special edition of the TAG Heuer Carrera Chronograph as the perfect symbol of the shared racing heritage.

Robert Ader, Chief Marketing Officer of Porsche AG, adds: “The TAG Heuer Carrera Chronograph x Porsche Orange Racing is all about racing. It embodies high performance and the thrill of speed – values ​​that we absolutely share with TAG Heuer. It is therefore a wonderful example of our shared mindset as we continue our exciting journey as partners.”

The TAG Heuer Carrera Chronograph x Porsche Orange Racing

Based on the famous TAG Heuer Carrera Sport Chronograph, the TAG Heuer Carrera Chronograph x Porsche Orange Racing follows the TAG Heuer Carrera x Porsche Limited Edition. It maintains the quality and performance of the in-house Calibre Heuer 02, a movement entirely manufactured at TAG Heuer’s Chevenez factory and made up of 168 parts, including a column wheel and a vertical clutch. These features enable exceptional chronometric performance with an impressive 80-hour power reserve.

Another key color of this special edition is black, which elegantly highlights the brightness of the orange through contrast. To achieve this harmonious surface with tasteful color accents, TAG Heuer designers used black in different textures and finishes.

The case has been coated with the highest quality black coating imaginable: diamond-like carbon (DLC), which is characterized by an extremely deep, elegant color and unmatched resistance. The finish of the black dial is all about dynamism and speed.
