Tag Heuer Carrera Calibre 36 Racing Watch review
Since the early 1960s, Carrera has been the main model of TAG Heuer and later Tag Heuer replica watches. Carrera was developed as a lifestyle racing watch, and in terms of its importance as a collection and how it has influenced watch design for more than 50 years, it remains one of the most important watch families in the 20th century. Today, what I want to see is a rather unique version of Carrera, which is definitely the high-end product of the series. This is the TAG Heuer Carrera Calibre 36 Racing watch, and this article is actually the third part of what we did.
Carrera Calibre 36 Racing was originally launched in 2013 by Baselword. It is part of the watch series equipped with Calibre 36 movement, and the "Racing" part of the name indicates its unique color theme, strap and titanium case. construction. I just found something interesting. If you click on the link above, you will find that between the design and production stages, TAG Heuer realized that his hands were too short. The hand I am looking at is the correct size, but the hands on the early pictures of the watch are too short. Once again, I don't understand why designers continue to use too short hands to produce watches. Fortunately, brands such as TAG Heuer were able to grasp this before production, but many did not.
In addition to the titanium case, the movement also makes the Calibre 36 Racing watch different from most other Carrera watches. In the past few years, TAG Heuer (TAG Heuer) has been steadily pushing Carrera into the high-end market. This means that the average price of the entire series has been rising. This trend has also led to an incredible variety of actions on the Carrera body. In fact, as of 2014, I can think of Carrera offering at least five different chronograph movements, including both TAG Heuer internally produced movements (such as 1887 and 1969 movements) and externally produced ones.

Movement 36 is not produced by TAG Heuer itself, but from the larger LVMH group that owns TAG Heuer. In fact, Calibre 36 is just another name for "El Primero". The Zenith produced by Zenith is both a timepiece produced by Zenith and its sister companies. El Primero is a miracle of the success of modern mechanical watch movements and has a good story.
The stories told by others are better than mine, but the details are simple. During the Quartz Crisis, Zenith was more or less closed for a while and was sold. The directors ordered the destruction of many tools and movement plans at the time. This includes the newly developed El Primero tools and plans. This is an "all-in-one" movement, but considering the shift to quartz, from a mainstream point of view, the fully functional El Primero is too late. At that time, no one would believe that in a few decades, all these highly performance-oriented movements and developments will exist inside luxury replica watches.
The people who were ordered to destroy the El Primero project never did so and hid everything secretly. Later he revealed the state he maintained in the "fire", which is good news for everyone. Later brands such as Rolex will use El Primero in their Daytona watches for many years (including most of the 1990s). Today, El Primero is still an important part of high-end high-performance mechanical chronograph movements. TAG Heuer and Zenith are both part of the LVMH group, so naturally there will be some sports loans. This is why you rebranded the Zenith movement in TAG Heuer Carrera.
So, what is so special about Calibre 36 compared to other chronograph movements? This is a good question. The honest truth is that most people can't really tell the difference. Watching nerds like me understand that the difference in principle lies in the speed of movement of the movement. The caliber 36 movement operates at a frequency of 5 Hz (36,000 bph), so it is called the "high beat" movement. In contrast, most other chronographs operate at 4 Hz. What does the higher frequency allow? Well, it can improve accuracy and increase accuracy over time.swiss replica watches
In connection with chronographs, the "high beating" movement is particularly useful because it can achieve more accurate time measurement readings. This means that when you use a chronograph, you can measure as little as 1/10 of a second. Compared with digital clocks and even other more advanced (more expensive) TAG Heuer watches, this does not break records, but compared to "most" mechanical chronographs, it is an improvement. Most importantly, Zenith El Primero has proven itself to be one of the successful movements, combining high-end feel with many reliable practicalities.
If applied to Carrera movement 36, El Primero has not changed much. TAG Heuer is decorated in a unique way and equipped with a special automatic rotor, but enthusiasts familiar with El Primero will definitely recognize it. Compared with other Carrera Calibre 36 series watches, Racing has a slightly smoky sapphire crystal back cover through which you can observe the movement.
The Calibre 36 race car uses a 43 mm wide traditional Carrera style case with a matte finish. The basic titanium is sandblasted and then coated with a titanium carbide coating to give it a darker gray. Of course, compared to the steel version of the Carrera Calibre 36, the Racing version is lighter due to the titanium case. It is also one of the uncommon Carrera chronograph models, with a strap and a metal bracelet.RICHARD MILLE RM 011 Last Edition
The soft leather strap has some perforated elements for a stylish look, and is equipped with a dark gray unfolding buckle. It has a very comfortable fit, and a rare matte (as opposed to polished and brushed) version of Carrera is seen on the overall surface of the case. The case can be further water resistant to 100 meters. One of the best details on the case is the crown. There is a rubber ring around the crown. When you need to adjust or turn it, it will become more tight.
In the past few years, TAG Heuer has paid great attention to its Carrera series products. To be honest, as a consumer, it is easy to be confused as to which product is most worth buying. For example, if someone asks me if I want to buy a Carrera with a 1887 or TAG Heuer TAG Heuer calibre 36, I am not sure how to answer. Except for the most dedicated movement fans, TAG's real way to differentiate the movement is to place it inside the watch. Therefore, even though some other modern Carrera models have similar movements, the dial of the Caliber 36 is slightly unique.BOMBERG replica Watches
It takes a while for the dial to get used to it. It is really attractive and very useful in the sense, but I call it a classic not. TAG Heuer takes risks to try something new-this is a decision I respect. This dual compound chronograph saves the entire dial, allowing the chronograph to measure up to 30 minutes (as opposed to 12 hours). This is a design decision, not anything else. Considering the size of the dial, the spacing of the chronograph subdials is relatively narrow, but I quickly got used to it.
One thing I like very much is the hour mark of the app, which is actually expressed as a minute mark. TAG Heuer pays tribute to the classic mechanical stopwatch here. There is also an inner ring used as a scale for the hour hand, as well as some appreciable depth of the dial. The hour and minute hands are beautifully shaped and easy to read. These hands are full of light, but sadly the rest of the dial does not have any luminous agent (for example for hour markers). The dial also contains the date at 6 o'clock. In general, the dial is not for everyone, but it is modern, it is definitely fresh, and represents a design that I think will develop on you soon. Most importantly, it is symmetrical.
As I said before, the decision to get the Calibre 36 version of Carrera has a lot to do with your understanding of the basic El Primero movement and your love for design. The racing version of titanium will definitely be less than the steel version.Hublot Classic Fusion Ferrari GT Titanium 526.NX.0124.VR
