For discerning watch connoisseurs who know and demand true luxury, the Calibre 17 RS Chronograph elevates technical performance to an exceptional level of prestige. This ultra-premium series highlights the Grand CARRERA’s hallmark COSC-certified chronograph movement and double Rotating Systems (chronograph minutes at 9 o’clock and small seconds at 3 o’clock) with superlative workmanship, intricate detailing and the finest materials in the watchmaking world.
First, there is the stopwatch-sized 43mm steel case and the magnificent bezel in massive rose gold. Then, a whole array of high-end covetables: a fine-brushed and polished 18-carat rose gold bezel with tachymetre scale; oversize screw-in crown and chronograph pushbuttons in massive rose gold; hand-applied curved faceted indexes with double finishing in rose gold; and alligator strap with solid steel folding clasp with safety push buttons and applied TAG Heuer logo in massive rose gold. Inspired by GT car engineering and TAG Heuer’s illustrious motorracing heritage, the Calibre 17 RS is a beautifully made watch with a compelling story to tell.
In 2007, the iconic Carrera became the award-winning Grand CARRERA. A powerful fusion of sleek design and visionary technology, the Tag Heuer Grand CARRERA — the first-ever chronograph inspired by the high-performance engine of a GT sports car — represents a revolutionary new way of telling time.
The Tag Heuer Grand CARRERA is the first mechanical line of movements powered with an ultra-exclusive Rotating System, a new technology replacing traditional watch hands with rotating discs — just like on the dashboard of a sports car — enabling instantaneous and easy-to-read access to small seconds, second time zone (GMT) and chronograph time.
A perfect blend of sports and glamor, Grand Carrera watches can be worn during the day and left on for that formal occasion at night. Its indicators let you read small seconds, a second time zone or chronograph time, and the watch is water resistant up to 100 meters. You’ll definitely get a lot of practical wear out of this timepiece, making it worth its price tag.
