Today, we'll be taking a look at a currently discontinued watch from Tag Heuer. This one, the Tag Heuer Carrera, the automatic chronograph, the 43 millimeter case size. Reference number CV2A1R.BA0799, the last portion there referring to, of course, the bracelet. A fully steel watch, again, 43 millimeters, ceramic bezel, chronograph with tons of numbers and a lot of functionality in here. So, I'll be going over all the aspects of this watch, the case, the bezel, dial, the current functions, as well as the movement. And I'll be giving you my thoughts on these throughout this video. So starting off with the case, 43 millimeters from finger to thumb, I'd say two to eight o'clock position, also from a 10 to 4 o'clock position. Basically from the chronograph pushers all the way across, not including the pushers themselves, 43 millimeters. So, quite a big and wide stance on the wrist, as I showed you earlier, when I threw it on my wrist, it's pretty big on me. My wrist being seven inches in circumference, this will be definitely for someone who's wrist is no smaller than seven inches in circumference. If your wrist happens to be smaller than that and you're going for absolute wrist presence in terms of size, you've got it here with the 43 millimeter case size. You have a full steel construction here, again, high polish along the sides here, with very interesting all high polish on these bevels as well. And with the bracelet being integrated, only the satin brush finish portions there. You have, again, all stainless steel construction even for the buttons themselves, and even for the case back minus the open portion there, the exhibition part which shows the movement on the inside of caliber 16. Now, taking you look here at the very front of the case here, we have the tacheometric bezel, the tachymeter, or tachymeter, whatever you want to call it, it's all made in ceramics, so it's scratch resistant. Just like the sapphire crystal on the front, which is domed as you can see by the way that it plays in the light. It's not exactly the most glare resistant but quite strong because you can still see the dial quite clearly, especially with your eyes. It doesn't come through on the video quite as well, but that's just how it is. The surface of the dial itself, sort of like a matte-finish there and all in black with applied index marker as well, applied hours in terms of the seconds and minutes. So, you actually have full number setups here, really evoking the sense of a speedometer or a dial that you would find in a car or even an airplane like an air king or something like that from Rolex. You'd have that sort of very, very busy dial layout here but this is basically one where you basically get everything, almost everything that a modern wrist watch can offer. The subdials themselves for the chronograph here, 30 minutes at the 12, 12 hours at the 6, sort of encircled in a silver gear shaped pattern. Also with concentric circles going from the inside out on those subdials as well, really brings to a forefront in terms of the visual hierarchy. So, you see the hands and the day first, but then right after that you also see the forms of these chronograph subdials making that really the main focus of this watch, and that's basically what you get. The centromeric chronograph hand can be run like a large seconds hand should you so desire. But you do have the small seconds at the nine o'clock, incredibly small and not very high on the visual hierarchy scale because honestly, seconds don't really matter all that much, what matters is how you control and view the seconds yourself. That's being a chronograph watch with the main focus being on racing, that's basically Tag Heuer's concentration, their basic branding. So you do get that with the red-tipped chronograph hand, sort of a very, very long lance style hand. Turning off the lights here, when it comes to the hands, well, that's basically all that's luminescent. You have the sort of tips for the hour and minute hands illuminated with the rest of the bodies there with a tiny little stripe being taken out. Not sure exactly why they would do that but that's just what it is, maybe, a distinctly Carrera look here. Let me move the a minute hand out of the way here so I can actually show you the functionality for this watch. So as you can probably guess all the functionality for this watch comes in the form of the winding crown minus the chronograph pushers obviously. Pressing the top pusher will start and stop that chronograph hand and pressing the bottom pusher when it is stopped will reset the subdials, as well as that choreograph hand obviously. Basically, at the base position for the winding crown at the three o'clock position, you can wind the watch. So, basically you can just slide this off your wrist and just wind it if you ever actually need to, not too important there other than that. But out to the next position, this is how you adjust the date and date functionality, rotating clockwise advances the day forward. And interestingly enough, you can actually advance it all the way around. Let me do this. Interestingly enough, you can actually rotate it counterclockwise, well intuitively to adjust the day but it actually goes backwards. As you can see, because this is not the typical sequence for the week, Monday, Sunday, Saturday, Friday, Thursday, Wednesday, Tuesday, Monday. However, this is actually quite useful because if you set the, if you're not sure exactly where you are in a 24-hour cycle, because this is a 12-hour dial, well, you can simply just set it to the day before quite easily rather than having to go all the way around and cycling around to the next week. And then simply pull the crown all the way out, this stops the seconds hand as well as that chronograph hand, giving you the hacking function and then just simply press or rather push that minute hand all the way around until it passes midnight. And at that point that's when the usefulness of setting the day backwards actually comes in handy, because then that way you have the utmost accuracy, one setting the time and the day and the date. Rather simple there, right? And once you've got it nicely synchronized up to an atomic clock, you have the minute hand presented in the correct spot with that of the small seconds hand, you can simply press the crown back, to start back up and same with the chronograph hand as well. So what makes all of this work on the inside? Caliber 16, the automatic movement, as you can see that big winding rotor center mounted. It's an automatic chronograph, gives you 42 hours of power reserve with the center mounting minutes, hours and large chronograph hand with the small seconds off set. The small subdials for the 12 and 6 o'clock positions, day and date functionality, something you don't see typically in chronographs and especially a chronograph of this stature. Something that has so much going on on it and I can probably give you some reasons why, a little bit later. But first, also the power reserve for this one, 42 hours, so you can basically set it down on a Friday evening, you can pick it back up maybe Sunday evening, and then just give it a couple winds, wear it all day Monday and you'll be back to the full power reserve, Rather simple there. Looking here at the bracelet while we're zoomed out, there's sort of like these H-shaped links with a intermediate link attached as well. So, sort of alternating high polish and satin finish when it comes to the intermediate portions of the links themselves, on the outer edges all satin brush finish with high polish on the sides. You also have a double push-button deployment clasp here, rather actually sturdy really, with the Tag Heuer logo there pressing both sides to open it up. You can't actually open it by just simply pulling it or pressing one side, you must press both sides to deploy it. As you can see, it has sort of like a hook function in there, so must actually have both in order to deploy. You have the full word mark portion of their logo on the sort of folding portion here and a full steel construction as well. Right and also again, once again on my wrist here, again 43 millimeters, pretty big nothing to scoff at, certainly. And with over 16 millimeter case thickness here, won't slide very easily under a suit cuff, so you do get more of the sporty nature, a little bit less formal and a little bit more casual, And with the bracelet here, it will actually keep it on your wrist quite nicely. A bit heavy, little top heavy for me, If your wrist is a little bit bigger and you have the full bracelet here, nicely gripping your wrist, well, you won't have any issues, it won't go anywhere and it actually won't feel that heavy at all. But, for someone like me having this kind of watch, 43 millimeter case size, over 16 millimeter, I believe 16 and a half millimeter thickness all steel casing, it's gonna wobble around quite a bit. But that's basically what you get with something that has such a big wrist presence in terms of the size and the busyness factor of the style really gives it that sense of racing with the speedometer look, odometer look. And also the functionality of the day and the date there, something you don't see typically in chronographs, something that I think Tag Heuer have really put in there to sort of make this, sort of like a good introductory watch into the world of watches because it gives you additional functionality that basically I've never seen in any other chronograph, at least from the makers like Rolex, Vacheron Constantin, Patek Philippe, or even Audemars Piguet. They don't include the day and the date in their chronographs. And here looking at down the wrist here once more, very, very sharp edges but the lugs don't curve down all that much, they hug the wrist if your wrist is bigger, but they won't dig in so it feels very good. Also the bracelet, basically zero tolerance among the links, the pin and sleeve system, not theoretically very sound compared to say the screw system but here it's actually incredibly secure. I've never seen any of these slip out, there's basically zero tolerance among these. So you're gonna have a tough time accidentally breaking this bracelet off, it's incredibly sturdy. So, basically, that's all I gotta say about this watch, what do you think? Let us know down in the comments below, do you think this is a very good introductory watch 'cause I kinda think so too. At a very good price point as well, it's pretty accessible, although accessible in the sense that you can get it from us at Jaztime because we do have this one for sale.
