TAG Heuer Carrera Chronograph Yellow Gold CBS2240.FC8319

TAG Heuer Carrera Chronograph Yellow Gold CBS2240.FC8319, 39 mm diameter - not only continues the essence of the representative model of the 1970s, but also conforms to the popular trend of "reverse large diameter" in recent years. Since it does not have a speed measuring outer ring, the actual display area of the disk is actually roughly the same as the 44mm ring model of the same series, which does not affect the reading efficiency of information. The debut of the TH20-00 chronograph movement solves some of the pain points of the Heuer 02 and is also a reflection of the "leapfrog" of this piece.

Historically, TAG Heuer has established a position in the field of automatic chronographs with its Cal. 11 movement. However, in modern times, TAG Heuer chronographs are mostly equipped with outsourced movements based on ETA/Valjoux 7750. It was not until the advent of the Cal. 1887 movement in 2009 that this situation was broken. The name of this movement pays tribute to a patented technology registered by the founder in 1887. It uses a column wheel and a horizontal clutch, has a diameter of 29.3mm, a vibration frequency of 28800VPH, and a power reserve of 50 hours. Cal.1887 movement function dials are distributed at 12-9-6 o'clock, and the visual center of gravity is biased to the left. From a structural point of view, it has a certain blood relationship with Seiko's Cal.6S37 movement. For example, both use the "magic lever" automatic winding system (TAG Heuer calls it "double locking lever"), and the two-way winding oscillating weight has Higher efficiency. The Heuer 01 movement launched in 2015 is considered to be the final form of the Cal. 1887 movement.

TAG Heuer's second self-produced chronograph movement is Cal. 1969, launched in 2013. Its name pays tribute to Cal. 11, which came out in 1969. Cal.1969 movement adopts column wheel vertical clutch, vibration frequency 28800VPH, and power reserve of 70 hours. The small dials with various functions are distributed at 3-6-9 o'clock, which is more in line with the mainstream aesthetic. Compared with Cal. 1887 (Heuer 01), the diameter of this movement has increased to 32mm, but the thickness has been reduced to 6.5mm, which facilitates assembly into a slimmer watch case. Perhaps influenced by previous doubts about the lack of autonomy of the Cal. 1887 movement, Cal. 1969 did not use the previous "magic lever" winding system from Seiko, which means that its automatic rotor only supports one-way winding.
