Introduction
The Elegance of the Porsche x TAG Heuer Collaboration, Discover the exceptional fusion of two design legends’ rich history, Porsche and TAG Heuer, through the exclusive watch collection, the colorful TAG Heuer Carrera x Porsche chronographs. This collaboration celebrates the 50th anniversary of the legendary Porsche 911 Carrera RS 2.7, marking the fourth chapter of their international partnership.
The Carrera RS 2.7 Saga
The Porsche 911 Carrera RS 2.7, unveiled in October 1972 at the Paris Motor Show, remains a coveted treasure among collectors. Similar to the TAG Heuer Carrera, this revolutionary sports car managed to blend racing spirit, performance, and elegance in an unprecedented way.
Designed for racing and rally, the Carrera RS was the first Porsche 911 fully dedicated to motorsports, nicknamed “Carrera”. This name, which also captured Jack Heuer’s imagination when he heard about the legendary Carrera Panamericana, became a symbol of excellence and innovation.
The Porsche 911 Carrera RS 2.7, produced towards the end of the first generation of the 911, was the fastest German production car of its time. It stood out for its aerodynamic design and front and rear spoilers, offering increased stability at high speeds. This bold and high-performance design inspired the creation of the TAG Heuer Carrera, a chronograph designed for precision and readability, while retaining an elegance suitable for everyday life.
The TAG Heuer Carrera x Porsche Watches: An Ode to Elegance
The limited edition TAG Heuer Carrera x Porsche watches are based on the 42mm TAG Heuer Carrera chronograph. They embody the perfect blend of power from the Porsche 911 Carrera RS 2.7 and the refinement of TAG Heuer.
The Blue Edition
Limited to 500 pieces, this edition features a polished steel case with rhodium-plated details reminiscent of the iconic chrome elements of the car. The opaline white dial provides an elegant contrast to the azure finishes of the auxiliary counters.

The Red Edition
Even more exclusive, this edition, limited to 250 pieces, is a masterpiece of elegance. The refined 18-carat 5N rose gold case is paired with a dazzling white dial framed by an Indian Red circular line.
