Jack Heuer 80th Birthday Edition Carrera

Here is some news about a new Tag Heuer that will be revealed at Baselworld next week.
It's a special vintage styled Carrera that will actually use the "Heuer" name on the dial to
pay tribute to Jack Heuer, the brands founder. According to Calibre 11, the new Jack Heuer
Carrera has the same 41mm case used with the Carrera 1887/300 SLR, and the case is
deeper than with other older Carrera watches. The movement used in the watch is said to
be the Calibre 17. (ETA 2894-2) In addition there is a choice between a bracelet, or a black
calf strap with soft red rubber lining.

Thanks for the info, Tom. For my vintage tastes, it looks too modern.

Don't mention it Tom. Great point by the way ! ..Guess it's mostly about having
the "Heuer" emblem on the dial with this one.

give it a brushed finish and strap, perfect

Nice. I like!

I love it!! But at $5K, it's over my head right now

Glad you guys like this one. I wonder if we can look forward to seeing more, and more new
vintage themed models from different watch companies in the future.

Tag Heuer has never been shy about it's heritage. I like the JH 80 a lot.

Nice clean symmetrical design for the dial...but at that price...oh well....

Rick, maybe we will see Tag Heuer making some old favorites of your's again like the Autavia,
and Montreal in a new vintage form.

Thian, you and Gary are right about the price. ..Guess we will just look at this one sir.
