The Carrera Calibre 36 has a sapphire glass case back, allowing the wearer to view the movement at work. A long and narrow chronograph seconds hand with a red tip completes the front display of the Calibre 36. TAG Heuer Carrera Mikrograph, which is accurate to within 1/100th of a second, served as the inspiration for this design. It has a 60-second scale, making it easier to read the fractions of a second.

The 30-minute counter at 3, date display at 6, and small seconds at 9 o'clock also sit within this section.Ī wide black or silver ring runs around the outside of the main dial. If you look more closely, you'll notice that the minute hand only reaches to the end of the central gray area. Both models have their gray sections in the middle for telling the time. There are two stainless steel versions of the TAG Heuer Carrera Caliber 36: one with a silver and gray dial and the other with a black and gray dial. The wide external bezel with a 60-second scale is especially practical and makes it easy to measure elapsed time to within a fraction of a second. On the other hand, the dial design resembles that of stopwatches from the 1960s. For example, the 43-mm case, angular lugs, and black titanium case of the Racing edition are in keeping with modern trends. In terms of design, the Carrera Calibre 36 puts a retro twist on a sporty, modern timepiece. Both Zenith and TAG Heuer belong to the luxury conglomerate Moët Hennessy – Louis Vuitton SE (LVMH). TAG Heuer bases their movement on the Zenith El Primero. This movement ticks at 36,000 alternations per hour (A/h), equal to 5 Hz, which is 7,200 A/h more than the balance frequency of most mechanical timepieces. The Calibre 36 gets its name from its balance frequency. Most chronographs, including the Carrera Calibre 16, require the timer to stop before it can be reset.

The flyback function means you can reset the timer at any time simply by pressing the push-piece at 4 o'clock. Thanks to its movement, it can accurately measure periods of time to within 1/10th of a second. This luxury watch is among the top Carrera models. The TAG Heuer Carrera Calibre 36 is the perfect chronograph: It ticks at a frequency of 5 Hz, has a flyback function, and boasts a 50-hour power reserve.
