TAG Heuer Carrera x Porsche RS 2.7

As a tribute to one of the most iconic Porsche models and the first 911 to bear the Carrera name, TAG Heuer has prepared two new limited watches – one in steel and the other in rose gold.fake rolex uk

The word “Carrera” is one of those that gives shivers down the spine of watch fans and cars alike. In the first case, it is due to the iconic watch model created by Jacek Heuer in

the 1960s (you can read more about him HERE). In the second one, thanks to the Porsche 911 car. Both of these items took their name from the extremely difficult and dangerous rally in the 1950s on open roads in Mexico – the Carrera Panamericana.

in 2021 the TAG Heuer and Porsche brands signed a cooperation agreement under which two more timepieces were just shown. Both were created to celebrate the 50th anniversary

The Porsche 911 Carrera RS 2.7 hit the market at the end of production of the first generation 911. At that time, it was the fastest German production car and the most powerful 911 available for street use. Light and aerodynamic,

the RS 2.7 was also the world’s first road sports

car to feature a front and rear spoiler for improved driving stability and higher top speed.

The front and rear wheels had different widths, which translated into greater cornering speed and better braking. The Porsche 911 Carrera RS 2.7 was produced in a range of 27 vivid colors reminiscent of the 1970s. The two most popular were chosen for the new retro-inspired TAG Heuer watches.

The first watch combines a 42 mm steel case with a 100-meter water resistance class with a narrow, polished bezel (without any divisions) in which sapphire glass is embedded. Underneath it, TAG Heuer has placed a white dial with numerous blue accents. This color is used for, among others, A second scale and a blue ring with hourly indices overlap.

The arrangement of the plates is 3-6-9, while at 3 and 9 are clearly distinguished chronograph dials,

and at 6 discreet small seconds display and date display. The stopwatch is operated by two piston-like buttons,

and the Heuer 02 is responsible for its drive, i.e. the transparent case back, which we have already described many times over, with an 80-hour power reserve.

The most striking element of the watch is the strap running across the left side of the case, with the “inscription” Carrera on it. 500 copies of this version will be produced. Each comes with a steel bracelet and NATO strap for PLN 33,950.

The second model is a more luxurious version. The case is made of rose gold, and on the dial, white is combined with accents in red. In this issue, TAG Heuer opted for a less flashy Carrera lettering on the side of the case – it was done using only engraving (no additional colors). The gold option will be limited to 250 copies – each for PLN 103,350.Fake Rolex

Seiko 5 Sports 55th Anniversary Ultraseven Limited Edition

On the occasion of the 55th anniversary of the Japanese Ultraseven series, Seiko has prepared a limited version of the sports “5”, wrapped in monochrome superhero colors.

I admit that I know a lot about the culture of Japanese animation, so to write something more about the hero of the new Seiko project, let’s have a look at Wikipedia. There you can read that “Ultraseven is a Japanese tokusatsu series, the third installment of the Ultra Series created by Eiji Tsuburaya and his studio Tsuburaya Productions.

It was broadcast on the TBS channel from October 1, 1967 to September 8, 1968, and consisted of 49 episodes. Nowadays,

Ultraseven can and should be associated

with another character already used in the watch world – Ultraman. Omega reached for it, presenting the Speedmaster limited and sold out in the blink of an eye a few years ago.

The 5 Sports model in the 55th Anniversary LE version has

been aesthetically significantly modified in

relation to the serial references of the watch (you can read more about them HERE). The silver, white and black colors, as I have already mentioned, are taken from the outfit of one of the heroes of the series.

The steel case of the watch has a rotating bezel on the top with a black coating and a 60-minute scale. A silver dial decorated with a visible sunburst, surrounded by a black minute ring is placed under a sapphire glass. There is a double date display on the right and the Seiko “5” logo at the top. The mysterious “TDF-UG” at the bottom stands for “Terrestial Defense Force – Ultra Guard”.

In the case, Seiko has its own automatic caliber 4R36 with a power reserve of 41 hours. It is covered by a very interesting personalized caseback with red elements, the Ultraseven silhouette and a limit number. This will be exactly 3,400 copies. Each comes with a NATO nylon (gray, white and black, Terrestial Defense Force written) and in a special metal box. The Seiko 5 Sports 55th Anniversary Ultraseven Limited Edition will be available for sale in January 2023, and the price of one piece has been set at EUR 450 (~ PLN 2,165).
