History
Inspired by the famous auto racing event, the Carrera Panamericana, the Carrera collection by TAG Heuer features some of the brand’s best works. The collection, with its high-tech chronograph watches, continues to captivate the minds of every watch connoisseur, and comes with features that make timekeeping a fuss-free and effortless matter.

Design
The TAG Heuer CAR2111.FC6291 watch is an example of exceptional craftsmanship, sophistication and reliable time-keeping performance. It is a state-of-the-art column-wheel stopwatch, which features the use of about 320 components. The watch also includes the brand’s well-known oscillating pinion. This TAG Heuer creation comes fitted with a polished and sturdy steel case that houses a silver dial. Chronograph counters for minutes, hours and seconds can be found at the 12 o’clock, 6 o’clock and 9 o’clock positions respectively of this timepiece. Date window at the sixth hour also features as part of its tradition of timekeeping. While hand-crafted glossy indexes stand out as the timekeeper’ hour-markers, shiny silver hands, with luminescent fill, serve as its pointers. The dial has an anti-scratch sapphire crystal protecting it from abrasion and deterioration. At the same time, the sapphire crystal also does not fail to provide an improved reading experience because of its anti-reflective treatment. To ensure that the watch functions normally, it comes fitted with a durable crown construction and two pushers. A polished bezel and tachymetry scale makes up the other design attributes of this highly functional yet stylish timepiece. Last but not the least, completing the construction of this timeless timekeeper is a brown alligator leather strap.

The watch is water-resistance to a depth of 100m and can be safely worn for light swimming activities, and even while washing of hands.  Another convenient feature that the model boasts of is its luminescent hands, which make reading even in low light circumstances a breeze.
