CARRERA CHRONOGRAPH TOURBILLON X SENNA TAG Heuer

LEGENDARY PASSION

This sporty 500-piece limited fine-watchmaking series makes its mark as a metaphor for the disciplined character of the legendary three-time Brazilian Formula 1 world champion.

“Ayrton Senna made an impact on us all here at TAG Heuer and made an impact on the world of motor sport, on the track and in life. With the launch of the TAG Heuer Carrera Chronograph Tourbillon x Senna, we’re celebrating his enduring spirit and inspire future generations of champions, just as he inspired us. This timepiece epitomizes the passion and precision that shaped his incredible career”, declared Antoine Pin, the brand’s CEO, when presenting this edition.

Since 1988, the watchmaker’s mythical ambassador has played a dominant role in collections with references flying high his favorite colors. This chronograph equipped with a one-minute tourbillon also comes with some of the main personality traits of the F1 legend: rigor and precision. The TH20-09 caliber (65 hours of power reserve) drives the time data meticulously. This selfwinding movement measures short-cycle time to ¼ of a second and nestles inside a 44 mm-diameter grade 2 titanium case topped with a forged carbon fixed bezel featuring a tachymetric scale. The openworked dial flaunts brushed and grained finishes that center stage the relief-style scenography. The hues of the Brazilian flag jazz up this monochrome scenescape, dressing the counters placed at 3 and 9 o’clock, as well as the 60-second graduated scale running round the edge. An illustration of Senna on the caseback pays tribute to the champion.
