Two Chronograph Icons May Have Just Changed the Watch Industry Forever

An iconic pair

To show off its new carbon hairspring technology, TAG Heuer has tapped the most extravagant versions of its two greatest icons — the Monaco Flyback Chronograph and Carrera Chronograph Tourbillon Extreme Sport — and given them both carbon-drenched makeovers.

Both watches feature cases, pushers and crowns made of forged carbon, with the Carrera also receiving a tachymeter bezel in the lightweight composite material. Both dials are also made of carbon fiber featuring a snailed pattern inspired by the coil of their hairsprings.

The two watches both follow the same monochromatic template, with black subdials, applied black carbon indices, black gold hands and white lacquered chronograph seconds hands. Both also feature sapphire crystals front and back, along with Super-LumiNova lume on their hands (and indices, in the case of the Carrera).

Both watches come on black rubber straps with black DLC titanium folding clasps. The Monaco’s strap has a woven textile-like finish, while the Carrera’s strap has a more traditional rubber look and features a carbon fiber end link. The Monaco measures 39mm across and 14.1mm thick, while the Carrera is 44mm across and 15.4mm tall. Both watches are water resistant to 100m.
