Released during Baselworld in 1963, the Heuer Carrera was Jack Heuer’s answer to the market’s growing demand for pure motorsport-inspired chronographs. Having just taken the brand over in 1962, Jack wanted to put his own stamp on Heuer and, as such, sought for the Carrera to be a straightforward chronograph with a legible dial and intuitive design, a style of watchmaking that he preferred. As such, the Carrera was born and quickly became one of the most famous chronographs on the market. Today, it exists as one of the most legendary sports watches ever designed, and so TAG Heuer have been quick to expand the collection with a host of Carrera variants that lean on its sporty heritage while also bringing a modern aesthetic to the design, much like the Carrera Date ref. WBN2316 that we have here. Launched in 2024 as a 36mm time and date-only model, the Carrera Date brings a punchy collection of dial colors to the collection, with the example we have here boasting a stunning sunburst turquoise dial. Complete with polished indices and hands, this example’s display makes it the perfect summer watch with its stylish design combining aesthetics and heritage with a modern color palette.

Watch is in overall like-new condition. The case shows only light signs of wear or handling. The bracelet is fitted with 22 links, 12 of which are removable, and fits approximately an 8” wrist. Comes with inner and outer boxes, warranty card and booklet.

Expanding upon the Carrera's heritage as a no-frills tool watch, the ref. WBN2316 gives the collection a colorful display that can inject the model with plenty of personality while still being a robust sports watch.
