It’s evolved into something more, a shorthand for sports pedigree and precision. But for a long time the TAG Heuer Carrera has been about more than just sports timers.

The TAG Heuer Carrera Calibre 5 Day-Date is a perfect example of this. In fact, I find myself more and more drawn to simple, pure designs that just work.
