In order to continue the important aspect of sailing heritage, replica TAG Heuer launched the Carrera Skipper sailing chronograph watch to create a sailing replica watch with both aesthetic appearance and practicality. This watch is inspired by the handheld sailing stopwatch built by the brand for the “Intrepid” in the 1967 America’s Cup. The watch is based on the replica TAG Heuer Carrera Glassbox arched chronograph replica watch, reinterpreting the unique and colorful colors of the original watch.
This replica watch features an iconic blue dial with a circular brushed finish, inspired by the tones of the sea. The 12-hour counter is in the green color of the Intrepid Lake, while the memory block of the 15-minute countdown disk before the regatta is composed of the Intrepid Lake green, dark green and bright orange symbolizing the starting line buoy.
This design abandons the usual modular thinking and adds the complex functions of a chronograph to the movement. The column wheel located at 6 o’clock is placed in a prominent position and becomes the focus of the replica watch.
This replica watch has a layered, multi-dimensional design. The oscillating weight has five rods and is shaped like the rim of a supercar wheel, recalling the brand’s connection with motorsport. The inner layer of the black rubber strap is decorated with a distinctive pattern that is reminiscent of the marks left by tires on the ground.
