TAG Heuer Fast-Tracks New Aryton Senna Special Editions

Few watch brands are more closely associated with auto racing history than TAG Heuer, so it is fitting that one of F1's most legendary drivers should find his legacy enshrined in not one but an entire series of TAG Heuer timepieces The company released its first trio of pieces celebrating three-time world champion Aryton Senna in 2017; this year, it follows them up with two new models: one, a special Heuer 02 Chronograph Automatic with TAG's signature S-link bracelet; the other, a limited-edition, Senna-branded version of the Heuer 02 Tourbillon Chronograph The special Senna edition of the TAG Heuer Carrera Calibre Heuer02 Chronograph Automatic stands out from the crowd with its ergonomically designed steel bracelet with S-shaped links, a style made iconic by the watch that TAG Heuer initially designed it for, the Link.

Under the domed, nonreflective crystal, through the openworked dial, the watch offers a view of the skeletonized Heuer 02 movement, which powers the time display on two rhodium-plated, luminous-treated hands; a date display at 4:30; and chronograph functions on a three-register subdial arrangement, with elapsed minutes at 3 o'clock, running seconds at 6 o'clock, elapsed hours at 9 o'clock, and a red lacquered central seconds hand Limited to just 175 pieces, the Carrera Heuer 02 Tourbillon Chronograph Chronometer, equipped with the in-house-designed Caliber Heuer 02T tourbillon movement, offers a 45-mm-diameter case in matte black ceramic, including its racing-inspired tachymeter bezel with Senna inscription Under a clear sapphire caseback adorned with a red Senna logo and the watch's limited edition designation, beats Caliber Heuer 02T, a self-winding, COSC-chronometer-certified chronograph movement composed of 284 components, with a 28,800-vph frequency and a 65-hour power reserve.

The watch attaches to the wrist with a sand-blasted black titanium folding clasp with safety push-buttons and inscribed with the TAG Heuer shield. . Source
