Today, TAG Heuer introduced the TAG Heuer Carrera Red Dial Limited Edition (Reference CBK221G). In this album, we will show some “live” photos of the newest Carrera (which we will call the “Carrera Red Dial LE”), and also provide the full specifications for the watch.
For the background on how Heuer has used the color red to capture the passion of racing, see my posting today on The Edge, TAG Heuer’s online magazine — The Carrera Goes Full Red. For additional information about the Carrera Red Dial LE chronograph, see TAGHeuer.com.
The Carrera Red Dial LE is the ninth “Glass Box” Carrera to be produced by TAG Heuer. In this posting, we also show some favorite live photos of the previous “Glass Box” Carreras, which date back to 2015. For an overview of the eight “Glass Box” Carrera chronographs previously released by TAG Heuer, see my posting on The Edge, And Then There Were Eight — TAG Heuer’s Glass Box Carrera Chronographs.
