Introduction
Launched in collaboration with famed Singapore watch retailer Cortina Watch to highlight their 50th anniversary, the TAG Heuer Carrera Chronograph Cortina Watch Limited Edition celebrates the two brands’ history working together since the 1980s. Debuting in late 2022, the limited edition watch of just 10 pieces boasts a 42mm 18kt yellow gold case and is powered by the automatic Heuer 02 column wheel movement with 80-hour power reserve – all of which is on display behind a sapphire crystal caseback. However, the timepiece’s main party piece is its incredibly bright and vibrant green dial. Made of jade-albite, which is also known as maw sit sit, this stunning green gemstone boasts the same birthyear as the Carrera, with its discovery coming in 1963, making it the perfect gemstone to be paired with such a rare and exclusive variant of the Carrera.

THE DIAL

THE CONSTRUCTION
Made of 18kt yellow gold so as to match its extremely exclusive nature, this Carrera goes far beyond the typical Carrera's wearing experience on the wrist thanks to the heft of its gold construction.
