The TAG Heuer Glassbox Dato continues the Carrera story

- Опубліковано 21 сер 2024
- The world of vintage Heuer is a wonderful and varied one - there's good reason the brand can lay claim to numerous truly iconic watches, after all. For this year's LVMH Watch Week, TAG Heuer is paying tribute to yet another beloved model from the past, rendered in the fabulous Glassbox shape introduced last year. The TAG Heuer Carrera Dato and its dial layout will be immediately recognisable to lovers of all things Heuer, originating in the 1968 Dato 45 "Cyclops", with this modern teal reinterpretation making it seem like a natural evolution of the original.

This watch is so freaking cool!! The glass box is mesmerizing in person and with this color and dial layout is so awesomely weird.
Right! It's just the right amount of quirky in my opinion
I love that TAG are putting "TAG Heuer" on the dial and not just "Heuer". I used to be one of those wowsers who insisted that they drop the "TAG" from anything remotely vintage-y, probably because I was influenced by some other wowser saying it. But I've come around. The only way to establish "TAG" as standing for good things is to include it on good watches. Perceptions change. Never again should TAG Heuer cut their name in half. They need to put "TAG Heuer" on everything, be proud and stand strong. And really the name is actually quite cool - Techniques d'Avant Garde. I like it. Onwards and upwards for TAG Heuer!
Agree with that completely
The dial is stunning. Absolutely would buy.
You don't think it's priced too high by about $1500?
That dial colour is, well.. mint! 👌
Ever since I got into TAG, I couldn't really pull the trigger anywhere else. Started with my Aquaracer, then Skipper... and ever since then, I keep seeing so many good ones from TAG, notably after glassbox... Gotta stop myself before I go bankrupt lmao
These glassboxes are exceptional ! Each new version is a true hit ! That green dial is absolutely stunning with this new cinematic. I’d never expected being so amazed by TH
They've been on a roll. Skipper still has my vote, but that's thanks to those cool pastel blues and oranges. The Dato is a great release
Never thought I’d consider buying a Tag considering the baggage there but these glassbox pieces are just too good.
Very nice chronograph 👏
Beautiful. Just beautiful
They have gotten smart for sure.
Heuer 1553 is my dream watch, hope they'll roll out the remake of that masterpiece.
ffs Tag - I have just bought one glass box, now I have to get this. WHAT A STUNNER!!!
I know, right?
This would look lovely in the watch box beside my skipper... 😄
Same here bought the glassbox reverse panda . This is Very nice!

Gorgeous!
Time to get over the “Tag” name, because Tag Heuer is releasing some nice watches.
Tag is coming out with so many great watches. New twists, homages, and just overall thoughtfulness to adding models. Not sure why they get so much hate in the US. I do enjoy my AquaRacer. I guess the only problem with Tag now is their prices. Some of their models are way too much, that I’d opt for an Omega.
They've definitely followed the trend of rising RRPs, though they've still got some excellent options at the lower end of their offering. The Solargraph is a watch I truly enjoy
I’m back on board with TAG. My Carrera and Monaco have sat in drawers for years but I believe a resurgence is imminent. Thinking of upgrading both to current models. The blue face Monaco with the BA0644 bracelet works really well IMHO. 👍
It's worth noting that the original Dato sported a cam-actuated Landeron movement, a step down from the Valjoux column-wheel movements in the other Carrera models. When these were new, they were probably priced accordingly lower, which is certainly not the case today.
Fair point, though they've now aligned the Dato with the rest of the Glassbox collection in terms of movement
Tag! Please make a matte dial glassbox!
I’d love to see a glassbox seafarer, with or without a partnership with A&F
That thickness tho.
I agree 100% they should have used the old Heuer logo, that’s a big mistake / oversight especially since it is a modern retro watch and freaking expensive .Personally I would have made it 40 mm , 39 is a bit too small for me. I just think 40 mm is the perfect size for most men but I guess 1 mm is not a big drama. The price though, ouch almost ten grand Aussie , that’s dear , very , very expensive.indeed.
This 39mm wears quite large, and going any bigger would stray too close to the 42mm Porsche Glassbox and regular 42mm Carrera in my opinion. With the trend of smaller watches slowly coming back in, I'm personally thrilled they chose to keep the size under 40 - I'd honestly be happy with a 36 akin to vintage Carreras
Fair enough with the 39 mm, like I said 1 mm is not a big drama . What about the thickness ? Are you happy with that ? I understand it’s an automatic chronograph movement but with all the resources , technology and experience they have, surely they could have made it a bit thinner And the price, why are most Swiss watch manufacturers so greedy when it comes to price? Wouldn’t it be better to sell more units at a lower price then less at much higher price ? I just feel that it way too much for what you are getting . I do like it overall though ,except the logo, thickness and price ; but I would not buy one .
It's very beautiful, i'm just not sure if that strap matches the watch but a more sporty strap will fit like a glove there.
I was wondering that too! I mean, you can hardly go wrong with black, but I could certainly see myself playing around with strap options
The basic Carrera date would be great with new colour options. Personally, I would love a Rolex marine colour or IWC Portugieser red.
Am I the only one that wants just Heuer on the dial ........
Yes
Too bad it is that thick, 13.86mm is a lot, even for an automatic chronograph. It would otherwise be perfect. That green is really beautiful and pairs so elegantly with the black leather strap.
Nice
As the owner of vintage Heuers, I dislike TAGs from 20 years ago. This is going in the good direction.
Hating TAG Heuer is so lame. There’s so many watches of good tastes from many years prior as well. Many amazing Carrera chrono’s before this glassbox, this is by no means the first well executed Carrera reissue. Cv2113 being one of my personal favorites. Not to mention the link, have you tried that bracelet? I’m going to assume no. Not a lot of people may love the design, but it is undeniably one of the best bracelets in luxury watches plus a lot of cool older Chronograph models of the link as well. If you hate TAG Heuer I generally just assume you’re not well researched on the brand. Especially considering second hand/grey marker prices. Some of the coolest chronographs that can be had as low as $700-$2000 for an early link chrono to Carrera.
Why did it stop on it's own at around minute 2:26? Is that a feature or did it run out of power?
I noticed that too. I bet the watch was very low on wind
So close, but why couldn't they have coloured the date wheel?... i cant get over the white.
I'd normally agree as non-colour-matched date wheels are a bit of a pet peeve. But this watch is kind of all about that date, so I don't mind that it sticks out a little - they did put a nice frame around the window.
Legibility maybe?
Beauty! Too bad it is 2mm too small
I WOULD LIKE TO SEE A DIAL IN BLACK
I just don’t understand race inspired chronographs w/o tachymeter scales
Heuer Carreras are not simply racing inspired - actual F1 drivers wore them, even if they didn't have tachyscales.
Ok, I see what you are saying. I guess drivers are probably more concerned with elapsed time than 1 Mike time. It is a beautiful watch.
$10,000 for a Tag...um, no thanks. I can pick up a classic two liner Rolex Sub for that price.
yea but thats like 20years old
You can pick up a very old watch with an outdated movement for that price? Interesting
Please point me to where you're buying Rolex Subs for 10k Aussie, that's a steal!
@@ClaxtonBay123People are mostly concerned of loosing money. But are they the right crowd for luxury watches then? I don‘t think so😂
Too bad its 1500 dollars too expensive...
sorry no cosc and expansive than rolex pass
Nobody knows im gay
controversial opinion: looks like an overpriced Baltic....
It's beyond me that this piece is more expensive than Tudor. Tag is not even COSC certified. It seems it has a different caliber than Heuer 02 which has a vertical clutch. Great idea, great dial, but the rust just SUCKS. Dissapointing.
tag sucks
This is also a column wheel vertical clutch chronograph with 80 hours power reserve. Sure it's not cosc but it's properly in-house unlike Tudor's Kenissi movements, which are also available in other brands.
@@alectang1614better history and looks as well
I read elsewhere in this thread they are asking 10k. That’s steep. That said, far more more beautiful than any chronograph Tudor is offering. That said, the layout is as mentioned here, not for everyone.
As for COSC or no COSC, -meh. I have a METAS Omega, that’s more impressive a spec than COSC. That said, my two best watches are neither COSC or METAS certified. One is an El Primer, the other a Frand Seiko. Both are more accurate than my Omega, though that’s not a big issue for me. If accuracy is your primary concern, a lowly SW200 can easily be regulated to well within COSC specs and a thousand bucks can deliver that, it simply won’t be promised.
The movement is essentially an upgraded Heuer 02, with extra power reserve and bi-directional winding, so a definite upgrade in that regard. The whole COSC debate - I can see your point, though I'm not sure it'd sway my purchasing decision. Between this and a Tudor chrono, I'd rather go for the Heuer considering it's much slimmer.
