Introducing TAG Heuer Expands the Carrera Line with the Extreme Sport Editions

TAG Heuer continues to strengthen its distinctive identity deeply rooted in the mechanical spirit of motorsport. In 2025, the brand accelerates its momentum with the launch of three major additions to the Carrera Extreme Sport collection, expanding its technical prowess and enhancing its material presence. The introduction of a sophisticated GMT chronograph and a solid gold edition underscores TAG Heuer’s dual commitment to precision engineering and refined contemporary luxury, further reinforcing the Carrera’s legacy as a cornerstone of high-performance watchmaking.

The new lineup consists of three skeletonized chronographs: the Twin-Time Chronograph, which combines a GMT function within the openworked Extreme Sport design; a rose-gold chronograph that redefines the collection’s utilitarian aesthetic through the use of precious metal; and a limited-edition Carrera Chronograph Tourbillon Extreme Sport F1 75th Anniversary, celebrating seven and a half decades of Formula 1 excellence.

Carrera Chronograph Extreme Sport Twin-Time

A remarkable technical and aesthetic achievement lies in the watch’s bezel. For the first time, TAG Heuer has engineered a two-tone 24-hour scale bezel crafted from a single, solid block of ceramic. This complex process, which fuses two distinct colors, black and teal green, into one seamless component, is exceptionally difficult to master.

The 44mm case architecture is a study in athletic refinement. Constructed from grade 2 titanium, it features finely brushed and sandblasted surfaces that create a subtle, technical aesthetic. The flanks of the case are hollowed out, a design choice that reduces weight and enhances the streamlined profile on the wrist, ensuring superior comfort without compromising presence.

As a final nod to its racing heritage, the caseback is engraved with a Victory Wreath, a subtle yet meaningful symbol of triumph and the relentless pursuit of excellence that defines both motorsport and the TAG Heuer brand.

On the dial, the openworked design reveals glimpses of the intricate mechanics beneath, with subdials inspired by the dashboard instruments of a high-performance race car. The iconic TAG Heuer shield sits proudly at 12 o’clock, serving as a visual anchor for the complex yet highly legible display.

Turning the watch over reveals the Caliber TH20-02. This new GMT chronograph confidently joins the core collection, offering a highly practical complication within a design that remains unmistakably rooted in the high-performance spirit of the Carrera Extreme Sport. The automatic movement features a vertical clutch and column-wheel chronograph, beats at 28,800 vph, and offers an impressive 80-hour power reserve.

Carrera Chronograph Extreme Sport Rose Gold

TAG Heuer ventures into a more luxurious territory with the second major release: the TAG Heuer Carrera Chronograph Extreme Sport in solid 18K 5N rose gold. This timepiece takes the sporty design language of the collection and reinterprets it with an unapologetic sense of opulence. 

The watch makes its most powerful statement through its case and bezel, both crafted from solid 18K 5N rose gold. The 44mm case is a high finishing, with a dynamic interplay of brushed and polished surfaces. The tachymeter scale, a classic feature of a racing chronograph, is engraved on the polished fixed bezel, reinforcing its motorsport credentials.

The crown and pushers and the caseback are  made from black DLC grade-2 titanium, creating a striking contrast with the rose gold case and is also engraved with the symbolic Victory Wreath.

This luxurious approach extends to the intricate openworked dial. Key elements are unified by the warm hue of rose gold, including the hands, the rings around the sub-counters, the flange, and the skeletonized date disc at 6 o’clock. This creates a rich, harmonious composition that is both complex and easy to read. The TAG Heuer shield, also rendered in polished rose gold, is framed by the dial's transparency effect, which provides a tantalizing view of the movement ticking away beneath. 

Powering this precious metal chronograph is the Caliber TH20-00, another of TAG Heuer's high-performance in-house movements. Sharing its foundational architecture with the GMT version, this automatic chronograph caliber is equipped with a vertical clutch and column wheel for superior performance. It also boasts the same convenient bidirectional winding and a substantial 80-hour power reserve. Visible through a sapphire crystal on the caseback, the movement is adorned with the signature shield-shaped rotor.
