TAG HEUER CARRERA CALIBRE 1887 CAR2112.FC6267
Production Years:
The TAG Heuer Carrera CAR2112.FC6267 was introduced between 2010 and 2011, which coincides with the moment when the brand introduced its collection of watches known as Carrera 300 SLR. Being a limited edition chronograph, the model is inspired by the Mercedes Benz 300 SLR and incorporates special color and design elements that emphasize its connection with racing.
Additionally, the CAR2112.FC6267 represents an important period for the whole Carrera line, because the luxury Swiss watchmaker began producing automatic Calibre 1887 chronograph movement. This movement turned out to be one of the most prominent characteristics of this watch model, besides its brown dial and orange detailing associated with 300 SLR.
Defining Features
It is impossible not to notice the unusual color scheme of brown and orange that characterizes the CAR2112.FC6267. The 41 mm case of stainless steel holds the dial that is characterized by sunburst brown design and changes its color according to the light condition. Some of the orange components can be seen on the dial and represent the design of the chronograph while preserving the proportions of the entire Carrera collection.
There are three registers on the watch face, which help to balance all the information evenly. The first 30-minute register is located on the 12 o'clock side, the seconds' register is located on the 9 o'clock side, and the 12 hours register, together with the date function, is located on the 6 o'clock side. The presence of the tachymeter scale on the outside of the dial emphasizes the motorsport history of the timepiece.
The dial is protected by a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, and the water-resistance up to 100 meters is provided due to the stainless steel case.
The brown leather perforated strap rounds out the design and complements the warm colors of the dial exceptionally well. The orange stitching takes the color theme to another level outside the casing, and the perforations add to the unmistakable racing style of the strap. All these contribute to a watch that is clearly unique compared to the typical Carrera Chronographs of that era.
About TAG Heuer Carrera Model Number CAR2112.FC6267
The reference in question is associated with the Mercedes Benz 300 SLR that is one of the notable racing cars of the era of the 1950s. In its turn, TAG Heuer used the design characteristics of the Mercedes Benz automobile to transfer the style into the watch rather than using any automotive logos on its dial.
Among the design characteristics is vintage styled Heuer signature. Combined with brown dial and orange accents, the design characteristics give the watch a unique look among other Carrera chronographs. The Mercedes Benz 300 SLR reference moves forward to the case back, where some images and markings define the watch as being part of a limited edition.
Internal parts of the watch include automatic chronograph TAG Heuer Calibre 1887 that vibrates 28,800 times per hour and includes 39 jewels. Power reserve in normal conditions provides the work of the watch for about 50 hours. The internal parts enable chronograph function to measure elapsed time in seconds, minutes and hours by means of the central seconds hand and subdials.
What defines the uniqueness of the CAR2112.FC6267, however, is how all of these factors interact with each other. The size of 41mm is still manageable but not overly large to overcrowd the dial, while the brown and orange colours of the watch break free of the typical black, silver and blue shades that are traditionally used on sports chronograph watches.
