Tag Heuer Carrera Glassbox Chronograph CBS2240.FC8319 18k YG

First released during Baselworld in 1963, the Heuer Carrera was Jack Heuer’s answer to the market’s growing demand for pure motorsport-inspired chronographs. Having just taken the brand over in 1962, Jack wanted to put his own stamp on Heuer and, as such, sought for the Carrera to be a straightforward chronograph with a legible dial and intuitive design, a style of watchmaking that he preferred. As such, the Carrera was born and quickly became one of the most famous chronographs on the market. Today, it exists as one of the most legendary sports watches ever designed, and this Carrera Glassbox is a beautiful marriage between its iconic design and modern tastes. Launched in 2023 as a 60th anniversary edition of the Carrera, it features the Glassbox’s signature heavily domed sapphire crystal, from which its name is derived, and a beautifully polished 39mm 18kt yellow gold case, making the ref. CBS2240.FC8319 a thematically accurate rendition of the Carrera’s design language, but with a luxurious twist. Featuring a legible golden dial with a vertically-brushed finish, black sunken subdials with concentric finishing along with Heuer’s in-house cal. Heuer 02 movement under the bonnet and on display behind its exhibition caseback, it boasts everything you would expect from a modern chronograph.
