TAG Heuer Carrera Calibre 17 Chronograph CV2113-0

Introduction

The Carrera has been central to TAG Heuer's identity since Jack Heuer introduced the original chronograph in 1963. Named after the Carrera Panamericana road race, its defining qualities were clarity, functionality and a clean case design that offered a more restrained alternative to many contemporary racing chronographs. Those same principles would provide fertile ground for the numerous Carrera revivals that followed decades later.

Dating to the mid-2000s, the ref. CV2113-0 is a particularly attractive modern interpretation of the classic Carrera formula. Its polished 39mm stainless steel case retains the sharply defined lugs and compact proportions associated with the collection, while the black dial is contrasted by three silvered registers to create a distinctive reverse-panda appearance. A discreet date aperture sits between 4 and 5 o'clock, while applied baton markers and polished hands preserve the clean, highly legible character of the Carrera. Inside is the automatic TAG Heuer calibre 17, a modular chronograph movement.

THE DIAL

THE DIAL

The black and silver dial is the defining feature of this Carrera, pairing a deep black ground with three contrasting silvered azurage rimmed chronograph registers. Applied silver-tone baton markers, polished luminous hands and a date aperture between 4 and 5 o'clock complete a layout that retains the clarity and motorsport character associated with the Carrera.

THE CONSTRUCTION

THE CONSTRUCTION

Measuring 39mm across, the polished stainless steel case combines compact proportions with the Carrera's characteristic long, sharply angled lugs. It is fitted with a black perforated racing-style leather strap with contrasting red stitching and a deployant clasp, reinforcing the model's longstanding connection to motorsport.

Condition

Watch is in overall excellent condition. The steel case shows surface scratches and small nicks. The case back has a few nicks and retains well-defined engravings. The dial and hands are in near-mint condition. It is fitted with a black leather strap and a steel deployant clasp showing surface scratches.

Our Perspective

The CV2113-0 captures much of what made the earliest Carreras so successful without feeling like a straightforward vintage reproduction. Its 39mm proportions, reverse-panda chronograph dial and relatively restrained styling give it a distinctly period-inspired character, while the automatic calibre 17 makes it an eminently usable modern chronograph.
