For a long time, Tag Heuer has used steel watches as its main force. In the past few years, TAG Heuer has begun to accelerate the expansion of its gold watch lineup and restore historical gold watch styles – replica TAG Heuer Carrera Glassbox Gold chronograph.

The TAG Heuer Carrera was born in the same period as the Omega Speedmaster and Rolex Daytona (Carrera was launched in 1963), and is a sports chronograph as famous as the Speedmaster and Daytona in history.

The hands of the watch are gold-plated, and the small black counter is slightly sunken and decorated with a record pattern. The entire dial forms multiple levels.
