Tag Heuer Carrera Chronograph Tourbillon Blue Dial Blue Leather Strap Men’s Watch – CBS5010.FC6543

A highly unique watchmaking technology, the tourbillon is a cage that continuously rotates around the escapement, designed to counteract the effects of gravity on the precision of a mechanical movement.

The blue, round, brushed dial features several details designed to enhance its appearance and readability. The dark blue subdials are surrounded by high-contrast silver rings, making the chronograph readings as clear and easy to read as possible. Likewise, the minute scale around the outer edge of the dial is accented with orange at each hour marker. Orange is also the color of the chronograph’s central seconds hand, whose simple triangular shape is inspired by the dashboard instruments of 1960s racing cars.

The flange and hour markers are subtly curved to match the edge of the crystal, enhancing the elegance of the watch.

The 42 mm stainless steel case houses the TH20-09 in-house movement, a proprietary movement that offers bidirectional winding for increased efficiency and accuracy. The watch is COSC (Contrôle Officiel Suisse des Chronomètres) certified, beats at 4 Hz (28,800 vibrations per hour) and has a 65-hour power reserve. The transparent sapphire crystal caseback showcases the high level of finishing of the movement and its skeletonized rotor.

The TAG Heuer Carrera Chronograph Glass Tourbillon watch is presented on a blue calfskin strap and is water-resistant to 100 metres/330 feet. The suggested retail price for the CBS5010.FC6543 is CHF 23,500/EUR 23,000/USD 24,050.  TAG Heuer website
