TAG Heuer Carrera Automatic Ref. WBN2012.BA0640 – 41 mm – Blue Sunray Dial – Never Polished – 2022

Info

The TAG Heuer Carrera Automatic represents one of the most successful expressions of the contemporary sporty-elegant wristwatch, directly descended from a collection born in 1963 and deeply connected to the world of motorsport. Over time, the Carrera has established itself as a timepiece capable of combining performance, restraint, and versatility, becoming a well-rounded choice for enthusiasts and collectors alike.

The reference WBN2012.BA0640, powered by the proven automatic Calibre 5, interprets this philosophy through a clean and modern design, conceived to offer excellent legibility and everyday comfort. Balanced proportions and sharp case lines give the watch a strong yet never excessive presence, suitable for both sporty and more formal contexts.

A distinctive feature of this model is its blue sunray dial, a deep and elegant shade that reacts to light with refined radial reflections. The result is a lively, dynamic dial that changes character depending on lighting conditions and further enhances the overall aesthetic of the watch.

From a functional standpoint, the Carrera WBN2012.BA0640 is equipped with a day-date display, with the day of the week and date positioned at 3 o’clock. This practical complication is well integrated into the dial design, improving everyday usability without compromising visual balance.

Overall, this TAG Heuer Carrera stands out for its balance between contemporary aesthetics, practical functionality, and mechanical reliability, confirming itself as a solid and coherent choice for those seeking an authentic, elegant, and timeless Swiss timepiece.
