The Carrera re-edition CS3110 faithfully replicates the iconic design of the early Carrera ref. 2447D from 1965, renowned for its blued outer decimal track. Released just before TAG Heuer was acquired by LVMH, this reissue marks a significant moment in the brand's embrace of its historical designs in the 1990s. With a polished 36mm case, Carrera lugs, and vintage-style pump pushers, it closely resembles its 1960s predecessor. Notably, it features tritium lume on the hands and hour markers, which will develop a charming patina over time, making it a highly authentic homage to the original.

Launched alongside the Porsche 911 in 1963, the Heuer Carrera, conceptualized by Jack Heuer, quickly became a cornerstone for the brand, mirroring the 911's significance. Named after the perilous Carrera Panamericana race of the 1950s, its debut model, the 2447, prioritized legibility for motorsport professionals. Despite fluctuations in popularity, the Carrera name resurged in the 1990s, shaping TAG Heuer's identity with its angular lugs, timeless design, and versatile range, spanning from classic timepieces to modern smartwatches.

This specific piece was sold in August 1997, and has been kept in a stunning condition over time. Indeed, the dial is immaculate, enhanced by a lovely yellow-ish tritium on the indexes and hands. The case has kept its original angles and dimensions. The black bracelet is the original leather bracelet.
