To paraphrase TAG Heuer CEO Frédéric Arnault, cheap fake TAG Heuer CA and Porsche share an attitude with both brands in constant pursuit of high performance. Certainly the connection between 1:1 replica TAG Heuer and the German masters of speed, is a strong one – just think of Steve McQueen wearing a Heuer Monaco while racing a Porsche 917 in the film LeMans.
The name Carrera, of course, is also deeply associated with both brands. It originated from the gruelling road race the top copy TAG Heuer Carrera Panamericana and served as the inspiration for Porsche’s most powerful engine following a famous win in 1954. In 1963, however, the name was also adopted by Jack Heuer when he launched the speed-infused Carrera chronograph. Today, at long last, the two brands are officially united with this new racing-inspired watch, the AAA replica TAG Heuer Carrera Porsche Chronograph.
First Impressions
The design of the new 44mm TAG Heuer Carrera replica for men has clear vintage inspiration, but with a sharp, contemporary twist. This 44mm reference is a limited edition based on the successful best quality copy TAG Heuer Carrera Sports Chronograph series of 2020. As soon as I put it on there’s a reassuring feeling of comfort with this watch defiantly proving that ergonomics are not bound to size. And boy is the motorsport inspiration strong here from the brushed black tachymetre bezel to the classic red touches that accentuate the design.
The case and dial
A new, bold line of sports chronographs was introduced last year in the Swiss made replica TAG Heuer Carrera Sports Chronograph we covered in our story here and, with this special edition, Porsche’s strong DNA is clearly present. The case is large, yet with a balanced dynamic that makes it sit comfortably on smaller wrists, and those angled bevelled lugs are pure TAG Heuer Carrera fake online. But what does hit you is the way even small details can transform an already successful design, making it take on another spirit. The bold pushers of the chronograph have a satisfying and self-assured click, while the narrow red ring of the crown is but one small touch in the thread that ties this to Porsche (what better to imbue a sense of speed than a flash of red?). I still need a course in how to use it, but there is something reassuring in the brushed black tachymetre bezel that further strengthens this chronograph’s ties to motor racing.
The intricate red details both tie together and accentuate the slightly menacing, purposeful dark scene of the dial. The balance is clearly accomplished through a pleasing symmetry in the recessed black registers with small but sharp touches of red and the running seconds register at 6 o’clock, which has one of the best integrations of a date window we’ve seen. The strap of the Swiss made replica TAG Heuer is hand-stitched black calf leather which, through no accident, brings to mind leather steering wheels and those body hugging bucket seats of a Porsche 911. Me, I’m inspired to go find that racing helmet and gloves pronto.
The movement
The Heuer 02 automatic movement from the perfect super clone TAG Heuer Sports Chronograph range is here fitted with a Porsche racing steering wheel design for a rotor. This is a solid, accurate movement with a purposeful 60-hour power reserve. Ultimately, though it’s that sapphire caseback and Porsche steering wheel rotor that will win the heart of any motorsports enthusiast.
