Not the same when someone is payed to wear it. This season he is rocking a cal 16 Carrera on alligator strap, most likely provided as marketing by Tag

Yup, it’s really good to be paid also to wear nice motorsport watches 👍

And Christian Horner is also a fan of the brand even before 😉

“Do you have a favourite TAG Heuer watch?
I have a Monza that was the first watch I ever bought. I had always been a fan of the brand and I was a fan of Ayrton Senna. I won a race in Formula 2 in Monaco, which was the only race that paid prize money for the team owners, so I had an envelope of cash that was going to be absorbed by the team if I didn’t spend it and I wanted something to commemorate that success, so at the duty-free shop on the way home I bought a TAG Heuer Monza. That is still one of my favourites.”

I wonder which Monza he owns?

I doubt it's the latest black case Monza. Because he says it was the first watch that he bought, so must of been when he was much younger. Also, the latest Monza was released in 2016 and TAG's partnership with RedBull also started that year, so he probably could have gotten latest Monza for free if he had wanted. My guess is it might be one of the re-editions from the early 2000s.

Yes you are correct sir @Mspeedster 👍

I was equally surprised also sir @Jim Dollares 😲

But it’s good to know he’s also a TAG Heuer & Senna fan! 😎

As of today, there are already Two (2) in Chrono24 😲😲

And first time to see the complete set and packaging. There’s even a Porsche Carrera in the booklet! It’s probably a good and auspicious sign for sir @Mspeedster 👍👍

Seen those. Definitely priced on the high side given these are still available from dealers at RRP.

As a side note, I've also seen the same 3 Fujiwara Carreras being advertised at a hefty mark-up for months now. I guess the sellers are happy not to sell on the offchance that someone desperate comes in with cash on the hip.

Thanks for posting the pics! After the longest "pre-order" wait from my AD, I'm finally expecting mine tomorrow.

Thanks for the pix sir @Remo ! Congrats on the Carrera Silver 160! Very nice Heuer Carrera! 👍 I’m betting it will be surely sought after since the OG design of the Carrera is truly timeless! I’m thinking a panda version might come out on the Carrera’s 60 years Anniversary in 2023. 😗

PS: If I may ask, does anyone know the name of the car and model of this famous Carrera Panamericana poster?

The Buick Century looks similar. http://lacarrera2007.blogspot.com/2008/01/gotta-love-those-black-cars.html

But the 1954 Buick Rivera seems like the correct match. http://classics.com/quail05.html

Great to know! Out of the all posters, this one with the Buick seems to be the most recognizable (with Coca-Cola sponsorship) for this infamously deadly Carrera 😉

Congrats in advance with your Heuer Carrera Silver 160 @Hubert !!! 😎 Did you get the Carrera Montreal 160 also?

Welcome! Not yet on the Montreal, but it's on my list. Maybe a bit later this year.

Obviously my favorite poster, with the Mercedes-Benz 300 SL winner of the 1952 edition 🥰... the first of the Gullwing Mercedes 😀

Yes, I love this first 300 SL! 🥰

Current Mercedes-AMG cars are wearing this specific front grill with vertical bars (internally named “Panamericana grill”) as a tribute to that first 300 SL Gullwing that won the Carrera Panamericana in 1952 😀
