TAG Heuer Unveils Limited Edition Carrera Chronograph Tourbillon x Porsche Panamericana

2024-10-10 // LePodium.NET
TAG Heuer celebrates the 70th anniversary of the Porsche 550 Spyder's victory in the Panamericana race with a limited edition watch.

For the love of ultimate road racing, TAG Heuer prepared a real treat to mark the start of the 2024 Panamericana. The Carrera Panamericana is a name that strikes a chord with many motorsport and watch enthusiasts, and this year brings an exciting new chapter. TAG Heuer has just revealed the limited edition Carrera Chronograph Tourbillon x Porsche Panamericana, celebrating the 70th anniversary of the Porsche 550 Spyder’s victory in the Panamericana race in 1954.

In conjunction with this year’s race, Porsche and TAG Heuer will unveil a one-of-a-kind Porsche in Mexico City, further commemorating their shared legacy with the legendary competition. The Carrera Chronograph Tourbillon x Porsche Panamericana features a sleek Glassbox design. It builds on the foundation of last year’s model but brings a fresh, high-octane twist. The case remains a 100m water-resistant, stainless steel, bezel-free construction, with the domed sapphire Glassbox crystal and exhibition caseback.

Revamped Design

The revamped, bold dial design truly sets the new reference apart, perfectly capturing the thrill and intensity of the race theme. The skeletonized dial, executed in silver with black shimmery chronograph counters, is designed to mirror the wheels of the 550 Spyder. The one-minute tourbillon, displayed through an aperture, looks like the three-spoked openworked sportscar steering wheel. The dial’s dynamic, race-ready aesthetic is further emphasized by yellow lacquered chronograph hands.

Impressive Movement

The caseback of the Carrera Chronograph Tourbillon x Porsche Panamericana unveils the TH20-09 movement, an evolution of the Heuer 02 calibre. It features a new gear train and boasts bi-directional winding via a rotor skeletonized to resemble a steering wheel. This column-wheel chronograph calibre, equipped with a tourbillon regulator, operates at 28,800 vibrations per hour and provides a 65-hour power reserve while being a COSC-certified chronometer backed by a five-year guarantee.

The watch is worn on a black perforated calfskin leather strap featuring yellow lining. This limited edition is restricted to 225 pieces.
