That 'silly three hander' looks nothing like an Aquaracer thank you very much!
I wouldn't have anyone get their hopes up for anything much better... just because it may not have a bezel - hypothetically of course - doesn't mean it'll be a design worthy of the Carrera ethos.
Besides, @THJunkie is bang on:
Why couldn't this lineup that we're discussing today have been given a rotating bezel, slightly different lugs, and been the Autavia lineup instead of that silly 3-hander that may as well be part of the Aquaracer line?
I think these new Carreras are just fantastic. In particular, the black and rose gold model looks really great. So this new model appears to be what the 2014 Calibre 1969 titanium and rose gold model was supposed to be.
Maybe TAG Heuer leadership read my 2018 post.
Coming from the master that means a lot 😁 But I just hacked them together in a Google doc by pasting a cropped image of the new dials onto an image of the Montreal Carrera case.
Do feel free to perfect them by thinning the markers a bit 👍
Aw, too kind. Wish I had time to teach myself CAD. Then we'd really have some fun.
Is the 42mm model your own speculation, or has it been confirmed with TAG Heuer?
When I am speculating, I go through the trouble of being very clear and explicit about it.
Do you have insider information on the existence of a 42mm? Or did TAG Heuer make the announcement today? I searched for news on this topic but couldn't find anything.
Interesting, looking forward to seeing these in the metal. Green dial with metal bezel is the most interesting one I think. 44mm is too big for me but the upcoming 42mm should work.
I'm on the fence about the new lug design. On some pictures it looks tight, on others the bends and curves seem too much. Carrera lugs are sacred, they should be straight and sharp. I'll hold my judgement until I seem them. The seemingly narrower design and better fit on the wrist are a welcome design update.
Why no quick release straps like on the Autavia?
