Just in time for the back to school rush Tag Heuer is releasing a brand new Carrera Calibre 5. The Carrera Calibre 5 Watch wll be available in two variations one with a black dial and one with a brown dial. I personally like the brown dial, which does not happen very often as I prefer black to brown, but this watch seems to be complimented well by it. The dial of the new Carrera watch has a Clous De Paris pattern and an alphabetical time scale flange. The dial allows for great readability, even under reduced light conditions as it has hand-applied hour markers and polished baton-shaped hands coated with luminescent material. Its date display can be found at 3 o'clock position. The standard "Carrera" and TAG Heuer logo are at 12 o'clock position. The face of the watch is protected by a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal. The polished stainless steel case measures in at 39 millimeters in diameter and it incorporates either a black or brown aluminum bezel. Its see-through case-back is constructed from sapphire crystal which reveals the TAG Heuer Calibre 5 automatic movement. This popular and reliable movement has the advantage of a 42-hour power-reserve. The excellent case construction allows for a 100-meter water-resistant. The TAG Heuer Carrera Calibre 5 watch completed by a 5-row stainless steel bracelet which has contrasting brushed and polished finishing which is kept securly on the wrist with its polished folding clasp with safety push buttons.

Apparently TAG Heuer is so proud of its Carrera Calibre 360 watch and its amazing precision that they decided to show it off in a very interesting way. They sent 10 European watch journlists to an F1 race and allowed them to use the Cal 360 to become "official timekeepers" for Team McLaren Mercedes.They even made a contest out of it. From the press release: "The contest organized between journalists was a testimonial to the interest of the 1/100 of a second in manual timing, and to the unique accuracy of the Calibre 360. The 2 winners were at 5/100th from the official electronics timing system!"The 360 offers precision of 1/100th of a second and is billed as the "first ever 1/100th of a second mechanical chronograph".Full story
