The TAG Heuer Carrera CAR2090 boasts two standout features within its case – its size and material. Firstly, the matte black ceramic construction, with a stainless steel core and caseback ensuring water resistance, not only exudes a bold aesthetic but also provides remarkable durability. This choice of material renders the watch nearly impervious to scratches and significantly reduces its weight in comparison to a steel model, enhancing the watch's everyday wearability. It maintains its pristine appearance for an extended period and ensures you won't feel burdened by its weight as the day progresses.
TAG Heuer had the opportunity to fully embrace a phantom-like dial, akin to their 45mm ceramic model. However, practicality and legibility prevailed, resulting in a skeletonized dial that remains predominantly black but is still remarkably readable, thanks to the stainless hands and hour markers, complemented by vibrant red accents. While it exhibits a dynamic and intricate design, it strikes a balance that appeals to the modern aesthetic sensibilities of many.
