TAG Heuer Debuts 42mm Carrera Chronograph Collection
2020 has been an eventful year so far for TAG Heuer. As the brand celebrates its 160th anniversary, it has launched novelties across nearly its entire collection, with diverse new models appearing for the Formula 1, Aquaracer, Autavia, Monaco, and Connected lines, but perhaps the most important release of the year so far is the introduction of the in-house Heuer 02 chronograph movement to the Carrera series. While the Heuer 02 first made its way into the regular production Carrera lineup back in July 2020, the initial release was limited to the athletic 44mm Carrera Sport Chronograph series. Now TAG Heuer has returned to the Carrera line, updating the dressier, more refined side of the series with this same in-house powerplant. The simply named TAG Heuer Carrera Chronograph line combines this new movement with a slimmer, more elegant profile inspired by the original 1963 Carrera models.The most drastic departure for the new TAG Heuer Carrera Chronograph is the heavily redesigned case.

I understand that Mido watches do particularly well in South America, actually… Anyhow, the brand’s flagship dive watch collection has always been the Ocean Star, and this is the Ocean Star Captain V (which came after the Captain IV). Mido produces the Ocean Star Captain V in steel models as well, in addition to the titanium model. Those aren’t bad either, but there is something quite special in the titanium model, particularly when you take cost into consideration.Just for comparison purposes, I’ll also include some images of a steel (with gold-toned parts) Mido Ocean Star Captain V diver watch so that you can see the difference.
