Both of the new TAG Heuer x Porsche 911 Carrera RS 2.7 Limited Edition chronographs feature an oscillation mass (visible through the sapphire crystal screw-down case back) that has been designed to represent a classic Porsche three-spoke steering wheel. Minute and hour chronograph counters sit at 3 and 9 o’clock, respectively, while the permanent second indicator is at 6 o’clock. The new tribute watches are based on the 42mm TAG Heuer Carrera Chronograph that is powered by the Swiss brand’s in-house manufactured Calibre Heuer 02 movement that provides a power reserve of up to 80 hours.
Of the 27 vivid colours offered by Porsche on the Carrera RS 2.7, TAG Heuer has chosen two for its TAG Heuer x Porsche 911 Carrera RS 2.7 Limited Edition Indischrot (Guards Red) and Glasurblau (Glazier Blue). The two timepieces we imagined together are sleek, assertive, memorable, and they reflect their illustrious past but project something even more exciting, what Porsche and TAG Heuer can now achieve together.” “So, for the 50th anniversary of the very first 911 Carrera, the iconic RS 2.7, we wanted to create a tribute watch that would express the character and power of this ground-breaking sportscar within our own signature TAG Heuer Carrera Chronograph. “The name and spirit of the Carrera are incredibly meaningful and emblematic for both TAG Heuer and Porsche,” said Frédéric Arnault, CEO of TAG Heuer. Having launched in 1963, TAG Heuer’s own icon, the Carrera Chronograph, was already a legend of the horological world when Porsche unveiled the 911 Carrera RS 2.7 at the Paris motor show on October 5, 1972. It’s fitting then that the latest official TAG Heuer x Porsche collaboration celebrates the 50 th anniversary of a Stuttgart icon.
TAG Heuer and Porsche have been linked, both unofficially and officially for decades.
