TAG Heuer Unveil One Of Their Most Accurate Watches In The Carrera Tête de Vipère

TAG Heuer wanted to make that point clear so they enlisted the independent testing body known as the Besançon Observatory to trial their latest watch The result is the TAG Heuer Carrera Tête de Vipère, the first ever TAG Heuer chronograph to wear the prestigious "Tête de Vipère" certification from the organisation The backstory of Besançon Observatory is interesting in itself.

Only 500 timepieces have earned the "Tête de Vipère" stamp of approval Watches which go through Besançon Observatory are fully assembled and undergo a protocol involving 16 days of testing across five different positions at three different temperatures The Besançon Observatory, operating on behalf of the International Bureau of Weights and Measures, is the only independent, public organisation able to inspect chronometers.

Naturally, the TAG Heuer Carrera Tête de Vipère will come as a limited edition of 155 pieces to celebrate 55 years since the Heuer Carrera was created. . Source
