The design team has disguised the date and running seconds display at 6 o’clock, transforming the RS 2.7 into a fake bi-compax product. Notably, the Heuer 02 automatic calibre powers both Carrera x Porsche RS 2.7 chronographs, indicating that they are tri-compax chronographs with dates.

This leads us back to the two RS 2.7 chronographs, which are extremely appealing as you can see. As a result, the links between TAG Heuer and Porsche grew naturally, putting a degree of pressure on special editions to produce.

While both the car and the timepiece had distinct beginnings, the term Carrera began to take shape in the minds of aficionados. In 1963, Jack Heuer introduced the Carrera watch for Heuer (no TAG yet), nine years before Porsche unveiled its Carrera model. TAG Heuer and Porsche formally announced their alliance in 2021, marking the first time the two companies have collaborated. Before we get into the watches, we need take a step back since this is a tale about Carreras, and it happened fairly organically.

This year marks the 50th anniversary of the original Ducktail, and the Carrera Porsche Special Editions are appropriate celebration gifts. Both Carrera x Porsche RS 2.7 chronographs pay homage to the Porsche RS 2.7, the first automobile to receive the Carrera brand. TAG Heuerand Porsche are synonymous with automotive and watchmaker collaborations, so these limited edition Carrera x Porsche RS 2.7 chronographs will be highly appreciated.
