TAG Heuer
TAG Heuer has timed speed for more than 160 years. From the Swiss workshop Edouard Heuer opened in 1860 to the dashboards and racetracks of the twentieth century, the house's story runs alongside motor sport. Its watches have a sporting confidence and a precision that comes from that heritage.
Each TAG Heuer watch we offer is examined by our watch specialists. They check the case, crown and caseback, the dial printing and hands, the reference and serial, the bracelet or strap, and the movement, and confirm that the watch runs and functions correctly. Listings describe the condition of case, crystal and bracelet precisely and record what comes with the watch.
In the shop now: the Carrera Automatic with a blue dial. Named after the Carrera Panamericana road race, the Carrera was introduced in 1963 as a clean, legible watch for drivers. A blue dial gives it depth and colour without losing that clarity.

Wearing a Carrera
The Carrera is as comfortable at a desk as at a race meeting. Keep the crown pushed fully home before washing your hands, and have water resistance checked periodically.
A racing heritage
TAG Heuer timed motor races for decades, and the Carrera's clean dial is a direct legacy of that work: easy to read at a glance, which is exactly what a watch should be.

Questions we’re often asked
- Is the TAG Heuer at Encore Luxe authenticated?
Yes. Our watch specialists examine the case, dial, reference, serial, bracelet and movement before the watch is listed.
- Why is it called the Carrera?
The Carrera is named after the Carrera Panamericana, a road race held in Mexico in the 1950s, and was introduced by Jack Heuer in 1963.
- Is the Carrera water resistant?
Most modern Carreras are water resistant to around 100 metres, but resistance should be tested periodically on any pre-owned watch.
