Review the TAG Heuer Carrera Chronograph Jack Heuer Birthday Gold Limited Edition Replica

To celebrate the 88th birthday of Jack Heuer, great-grandson of TAG Heuer's founder, former CEO and Honorary Chairman of TAG Heuer, and to honor the man responsible for overseeing the brand's exciting foray into racing-inspired wrist chronographs, today launches the 188-piece TAG Heuer Carrera Chronograph Jack Heuer Birthday Gold 42 mm Limited Edition replica CBN2041.FC8306, inspired by Jack Heuer's most popular 1970s Carrera 1158CHN.

The Case

The case of Jack Heuer’s 88th birthday watch replica is made from 18k rose gold but its shape is nothing like the 1969 38mm tonneau-shaped case given to the Ferrari pilots. The birthday watch is based on the recently launched TAG Heuer Carrera 42mm chronograph replica, a more classic version of the sportier 44mm models. Although there are models in the Carrera collection that combine rose gold with steel, this is the only model in full rose gold, something that will certainly appeal to collectors.

The Dial

The dial is a silver opaline, with applied rose gold-plated markers, logo and hands. Providing the contrast are two black/ anthracite sunray registers as 9 and 3 o’clock- and as with the other Carrera Elegant models, the 6 o’clock register with running seconds is the same colour as the dial and sits “on top” of the dial rather than “inside” a sub-dial.

To commemorate Jack Heuer’s 88th birthday, there is also an “88” on the dial (which will be very exciting for Chinese buyers, given the importance of “88 in Chinese culture), but cleverly the 88 is turned on its side as stylised infinity loops in the centre of the dial, symbolising Jack’s birthday and “recalling his infinitely precious legacy to the brand”.

As we’ve stated before, we’d rather the Carrera Elegant watch replica was a pure 2-register watch than 2-main-registers-with-a-subtle-third for simplicity, but we also understand that today’s watch buyers expect to see at least one watch hand moving, and so to remove the sweeping seconds hand would be a bold call, albeit one that TAG Heuer has done before.

The Movement

The performance-driven Heuer 02, TAG Heuer’s in-house chronograph movement appeared in 2017 boasting a thinner movement and an increased power reserve over the Heuer 01 movement of 2009. A modern calibre with integrated architecture, Heuer 02 has a column wheel and a vertical clutch, a combination that ensures a smooth and accurate run of the chronograph. Beating at a 4Hz frequency, it can store up to 80 hours of power.
