PRE-OWNED TAG HEUER CARRERA CV2A10.BA0796
Production Years:
The TAG Heuer Carrera CV2A10.BA0796 began appearing around 2009 and remained available for much of the following decade. This was a period when the Carrera had moved well beyond the slim racing watches that established the name in the 1960s. Cases had become larger, automatic chronographs were an important part of the collection, and TAG Heuer was giving buyers more information on the dial.
The CV2A10.BA0796 reflects that period particularly well. It was made as a full size Carrera for regular wear, with a day display added alongside the date and a steel bracelet instead of a traditional leather racing strap. By around 2018, this generation was disappearing as newer Carrera designs took its place.
Defining Features
At first glance, the CV2A10.BA0796 is very much a black and steel watch. There are no unusual dial colours competing for attention, so the detail comes from the way the dial is organised. Three recessed counters occupy the centre, with the day and date placed together at 3 o'clock. Around them are applied hour markers and the main hands, while the tachymeter runs around the outside. There is a lot of information to fit into one face, yet each function has a clear place.
The 43 mm diameter stainless steel case means that this watch is a lot larger compared to previous versions of Carrera, as well as heritage Carreras that TAG Heuer had launched in the past. It also ensures that there is some space on the case for the chronograph counters. Sapphire glass protects the dial of the watch, which is resistant to water up to 100 meters.
The fact that the watch is fitted with the steel bracelet is marked by the BA0796 code at the end of the reference number. In the case of this watch, the bracelet is not an additional way to attach the watch; instead of leather straps it completely changes the overall look of the watch and the black dial becomes its focal point.
About Tag Heuer CV2A10.BA0796
One reason the CV2A10.BA0796 is worth looking at separately from other Carreras is the day date display. A chronograph already requires several parts of the dial for timing information, so adding both the day and date could easily have made the watch difficult to read. TAG Heuer dealt with this by putting the two calendar displays together at 3 o'clock rather than giving them separate positions.
This tells you something about what the watch was intended to be. It was not designed only around the idea of timing a race or carrying the Carrera name. The day and date are functions that make sense when a watch is being worn throughout the working week. The chronograph is there when needed, while the calendar information remains useful every day.
The movement behind those functions is the Calibre 16 Automatic. It runs at 28,800 vibrations per hour and operates the time, day, date and chronograph. The movement became familiar across TAG Heuer's mechanical range and was used in a number of Carrera chronographs from this era. In the CV2A10.BA0796, it suits the purpose of the watch particularly well: an automatic Carrera with more everyday information than a simpler two register or date only chronograph.

Why Choose BQ Watches for a Pre-Owned TAG Heuer Carrera CV2A10.BA0796?
Age matters with a CV2A10.BA0796. A watch from the earlier part of its production period may now have well over a decade of use behind it, so the details of the individual piece deserve more attention than a specification sheet can provide. The bracelet may show signs of regular wear, the clasp should be considered alongside it, and the operation of the chronograph and calendar functions is relevant when comparing available watches.
This is where BQ Watches can be useful if you want to buy the CV2A10.BA0796. Our specialists deal with pre owned luxury watches individually, allowing the actual condition and accompanying items to form part of the conversation.
The same knowledge is useful when the watch is already yours. You might need a valuation without having decided what to do next. Another collector may be looking at an exchange because their taste has changed since buying the Carrera. Someone else may simply be ready to sell. BQ Watches can deal with each of those situations according to the watch in front of us rather than treating every CV2A10.BA0796 as though it has had the same life.
