TAG Heuer Carrera 1887 Chronograph uses the manufacture 1887 automatic movement and comes on a navy alligator strap to match the dial. More replica TAG Heuer Carrera 1887 Chronograph.
The watch is the 41mm Carrera 1887, which seems to pay closest homage to the vintage Carreras we love so much while also sitting close to the entry-level price point in the Carrera range. While many watches from the range sit at 43mm, we find the 41mm size works great for this watch. The case recalls the Carreras of old with its clean, thin bezel, faceted lugs, and sleek profile.
The subdial layout has the chronograph 30-minutes at 12 o'clock, chronograph 12-hours at 6 o'clock, and a running seconds at 9 o'clock. "Cal. 1887" is indicated discretely in the running seconds dial, which is barely set into the main dial adding just enough textural difference. Tucked into the chronograph's hours subdial is a small date window that is there when you need it but unobtrusive otherwise. Overall, it's a pretty pure, no-frill expression of what the Carrera should be. There are a number of variations available for the 41mm Carrera, including a white dial, a solid 18k rose gold case, and a few bracelet and strap choices.
The black dial combinie a flat finish with circular graining in the subdials, further accented by a polished silver flange. Just as you would expect on a Carrera, readability is great. The hour markers are large applied metal, with readable seconds and 1/4th seconds hash marks between them. I particularly appreciate that these are 1/4th seconds markers and not 1/5th seconds, accurately nodding to the 4Hz movement's ability to measure only down to this interval. A tachymeter scale lines the main dial flange, which is matte black to match the rest of the dial.
