The TAG Heuer Carrera Chronograph ref. CBS2212.FC6535 is a 39 mm stainless-steel “Glassbox” interpretation of the Carrera, combining compact proportions with a distinctly modern chronograph architecture. Its circular-brushed blue dial uses a reverse tricompax layout beneath a domed sapphire crystal that follows the curve of the dial flange, creating the visual effect of a vintage-style crystal without sacrificing contemporary durability. The bezel-free case measures 13.9 mm thick and is paired with a blue leather strap, while 100 metres of water resistance adds useful everyday practicality.
Inside is TAG Heuer’s manufacture automatic calibre TH20-00, operating at 4 Hz and delivering an 80-hour power reserve. The movement supports central chronograph seconds, 30-minute and 12-hour counters, running seconds and a date display, and is visible through the sapphire caseback. Its bidirectional winding system is a modern evolution of TAG Heuer’s recent in-house chronograph platform.
Reference CBS2212.FC6535 is especially relevant within the Carrera collection because it connects the restrained scale and visual clarity associated with early Carrera chronographs to a contemporary manufacture movement and modern case construction. For buyers comparing current mechanical chronographs, it offers a distinctive balance of motorsport heritage, compact 39 mm dimensions and a technical “Glassbox” design that gives the model its own identity within the wider Carrera range.
