New UK 1:1 Super Clone TAG Heuer Carrera Chronograph is a solid gold dose of 70s nostalgia

Leave a Reply

Gold watches are having something of a resurgence in 2023. First I was bowled over by the unashamedly opulent, all-gold offerings from Brew Watches, and now I’m lusting after the (significantly more expensive) cheap replica TAG Heuer Carrera Chronograph.

Built as a final instalment to UK perfect super clone TAG Heuer’s 60th anniversary celebrations, the solid gold Carrera Chronograph harks back to a time when company boss Jack Heuer gifted all-gold watches to race-winning Formula One drivers.

The striking luxury fake TAG Heuer pairs an all-gold dial and case with a black leather strap that is perforated to give it a motorsport vibe. The strap nicely matches the ‘panda’ black 12-hour and 30-minute subdials, while the dial itself is decorated with vertical brushing and is surrounded by a gold tachymeter. This is used for calculating the average speed of a vehicle travelling a known distance – like a car completing a lap of a race track.

There’s also a date window at the six o’clock position, sat within a small seconds subdial. The all-gold case features a pair of push buttons for activating the chronograph functions, and an unguarded screw-down crown at the three o’clock position.

AAA quality super clone TAG Heuer says the watch is water resistant to 100 metres, and that its Heuer 02 Calibre TH20-00 automatic mechanical movement has an impressive power reserve of 80 hours. This means you could take the copy watch off and it would still tell the correct time just over three days later. That movement is visible through a sapphire exhibition case on the rear.

A striking detail of the Swiss movement copy TAG Heuer Carrera Chronograph is its “glass box”-style sapphire crystal, which curves outwards from the dial and gives the watch a vintage appearance with no external bezel.

As you might well expect, a solid-gold TAG Heuer super clone for sale UK dripping in vintage nostalgia and with a backstory closely linked to Formula One doesn’t come cheap. The Carrera Chronograph is priced at £18,750.

AAA quality super clone TAG Heuer has always had a close connection to speed. Before F1 stars Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc had six-figure deals with IWC and Richard Mille, Heuer was sponsoring Ferrari in the early ‘70s and tapping up a young Aryton Senna in the late ‘80s. Meanwhile, on the big screen, a cheap fake TAG Heuer Monaco had a starring role with Steve McQueen in seminal ‘71 film Le Mans, his character brooding down the Mulsanne Straight with a blue dialled Monaco on his wrist.

Fake TAG Heuer Carrera
First released in 1963, the luxury super clone TAG Heuer Carrera set the driving watch benchmark with its clean, smart design and easy-to-read chronograph. Today it’s the sports fake watch all other chronographs are measured against, and a recent re-launch has seen a whole host of new models hit the market. The best of the bunch might be the 39mm reverse panda take, with its curved crystal, perfect proportions and classic perforated leather strap. £5,600.

Replica TAG Heuer Monaco
The most instantly recognisable watch on this list, the Swiss movement replica TAG Heuer Monaco basically sits in its own, very square category. Designed by founder Jack Heuer himself, the Monaco was introduced in 1969, during an avant garde period of design, in which its bold square shape and colourful hands fit right in. It was named after the top quality fake TAG Heuer Monaco Grand Prix, and it had many notable appearances on the grid, most recently with Max Verstappen whose collection includes a silver dialled left hand crown model as well as a one-off skeletonised version. £6,800.
