TAG Heuer Carrera Calibre 36 Chronograph Flyback “Racing” Leading the pack for the 2013 TAG Heuer Carrera line is the remarkable Flyback Racing. Powered by the high-rate Calibre 36 automatic chronographmovement it features an authentic fly-back complication. One simple click instantly resets the chronograph to zero. Inspired by automobile racing, the function lets drivers instantly restart and reset without stopping. The sporty and elegant case is fashioned from super-light titanium Grade 2, the same corrosive-resistant alloy used in leading-edge aerospace, automotive and architectural design. Here it is sandblasted and specially treated with a black titanium carbide coating for extra allure. The dial is made with anthracite and decorated with TAGHeuer’s signature sunray effect, with black gold-polished and hand-applied Arabic numerals on the external chronograph scale, and on the red-tipped chronograph and small seconds hand. The smoked sapphire caseback provides a scratch-resistant window onto the working components of the high-precision movement beating inside. The new strap design, inspired by motor-racing leathers and steering wheel covers, is crafted in black leather with a black perforated layer. The pacesetter of the new Carrera fleet, this stunning timepiece exemplifies the true racing values and codes of this motor-sports family. 1 0 3 S I M P LY A B U DH A B I
