LVMH Watch Week 2026: TAG Heuer Expands the Carrera Collection with New Creations

At LVMH Watch Week 2026, TAG Heuer demonstrates its mastery of the chronograph across a diverse range of new Carrera releases, from the 41 mm Carrera Chronograph in a refined glassbox format, to the maritime-inspired Carrera Chronograph Seafarer continuing the brand’s sailing legacy, and further into the high-complication Carrera Split‑Seconds Chronograph. The versatile Carrera Day‑Date completes the collection, offering refined everyday functionality. Together, these timepieces exemplify TAG Heuer’s precision, technical expertise, and the enduring appeal of Carrera design.

TAG Heuer Carrera Chronograph

The TAG Heuer Carrera Chronograph marks a new chapter in the collection and a key representation of the brand’s 2026 theme, Master of Chronograph. This launch introduces a new 41 mm size, designed to captivate enthusiasts while remaining deeply rooted in Jack Heuer’s original vision. Three dial variations illustrate the versatility and aesthetic range of this new size.

The signature blue dial radiates elegance and sophistication as its circular-brushed surface catches light with a subtle shimmer. Azuré tone-on-tone counters and rhodium-plated hands with white Super-LumiNova® and rhodium-plated indexes enhance legibility.

The teal green edition introduces a rich hue that has become a new signature colour for TAG Heuer. Paired with a tone on-tone counters and rhodium-plated hands, the dial plays with light and shadow, creating a subtle interplay of colour that evolves with every movement of the wrist, reinforcing TAG Heuer’s commitment to legibility and visual harmony.

For a more daring, racing-inspired character, the black dial complements the trio, introducing subtle red accents channelling the energy of the racetrack. Deep black provides a dramatic backdrop for contrasting red chronograph hands and a coloured outer ring that enhances the design with a refined touch. Every glance evokes the thrill of speed, the precision of timing, and the emotional intensity of motorsport.

Powering the TAG Heuer Carrera Chronograph is the in-house TH20-01, showcasing exceptional watchmaking expertise and delivering an impressive 80-hour power reserve. Featuring a vertical clutch for seamless engagement, a column wheel for precise actuation, and bidirectional automatic winding, it delivers flawless chronograph engagement and precision. All three references are paired with TAG Heuer’s seven-row steel bracelet, a sophisticated reinterpretation of a heritage beads-of-rice design that unites comfort, character, and remarkable allure.

TAG Heuer Carrera Chronograph Seafarer

TAG Heuer Carrera Seafarer

Following its 2023 return to sailing with a modern interpretation of the 1960s ‘Skipper’ regatta countdown timer, TAG Heuer continues to revisit its maritime heritage with a new model inspired by the 1949 ‘Seafarer’ tide watch, realised in a special version of the Carrera’s signature glassbox design. The dial’s colour palette is harmonised with curved 18k 3N yellow gold-plated indexes and the triangular marker at 12 o’clock — a defining design cue of the contemporary Carrera glassbox line.

At the heart of the TAG Heuer Carrera Chronograph Seafarer lies the new in-house TH20-04 automatic movement, which has been specifically developed to incorporate the tide indicator function. The tide indicator is simple to set using the special ‘TIDE’ button located at the nine o’clock position on the case. When pushed, the button rotates the tide disc which is divided into quadrants. After checking the tide times at a given location, the disc adjusts so that the ‘high’ and ‘low’ quadrants align with the actual tide schedule.

TAG Heuer Carrera Chronograph Seafarer Caseback

The TAG Heuer Carrera Chronograph Seafarer’s robust, 42mm case is made from a combination of fine brushed and polished steel that contrasts beautifully with the opaline champagne dial – while turning the watch over reveals a sapphire crystal case back engraved with TAG Heuer’s signature ‘Victory Wreath’. The crystal allows a clear view of the in-house TH20-04 tide indicator calibre, featuring a vertical clutch and column wheel to ensure smooth operation of the chronograph pushers and seamless functionality. An 80-hour power reserve gives the TAG Heuer Carrera Chronograph Seafarer three days of autonomy when left unworn, with automatic winding ensured by a rotor shaped like the TAG Heuer shield.

TAG Heuer Carrera Split-Seconds Chronograph

A new chapter in TAG Heuer’s rattrapante legacy, the Carrera Split-Seconds Chronograph combines elegant proportions with mechanical virtuosity. The watch is housed in a 42 mm Grade 5 titanium case, featuring a double sapphire Glassbox construction that creates the illusion of a floating movement. Chronograph pushers are positioned at 2 and 4 o’clock, while the split-seconds function is operated via an integrated pusher at 9 o’clock.

The smoked translucent dial allows a clear view of the in-house TH81-01 automatic calibre, which integrates the split-seconds mechanism and delivers 5 Hz precision with a 65-hour power reserve. The movement’s bridges are subtly decorated with TAG Heuer’s signature checkered-flag motif, and a skeletonised rotor shaped like the brand shield completes the architecture.

The dial is enriched with two applied subdials with red-lacquered accents, rhodium-plated open-worked hour and minute hands with Super-LumiNova®, and curved applied indexes with thin luminescent inlays, balancing clarity with technical complexity. A curved flange with a tachymeter and 1/5-second scale further reinforces legibility. The Carrera Split-Seconds Chronograph is completed with a black rubber strap with textile embossing and a titanium DLC folding clasp, merging contemporary technical sophistication with comfort and refinement.

TAG Heuer Carrera Day-Date

TAG Heuer also introduces new expressions of everyday elegance with the Carrera Day‑Date, offered in multiple refined colourways on a 41 mm steel case. 

Both warm champagne and deep teal green sunray‑brushed dials are paired with a fine‑brushed and polished steel case and bracelet, each housing the in‑house Calibre TH31‑02 automatic movement with an 80‑hour power reserve and 100 m water resistance.

The day‑date display at 3 o’clock enhances functionality, while applied indexes and rhodium‑plated hands with Super‑LumiNova® ensure clarity in all lighting conditions. The warm champagne model enriches its dial with rose gold‑plated hands and matching accents that elevate its classic character, whereas the teal green execution offers a vibrant yet refined personality with a matching green flange. 

The polished steel, three-row H-shaped bracelet ensures both comfort and elegance. With its easy-change system and double-folding clasp featuring double safety push-buttons, it offers seamless adjustability and ergonomic wear.
