TAG Heuer Unveils New Chronograph Tourbillon x Porsche Panamericana

As a passionate collector of rare timepieces, I must say that the TAG Heuer Carrera Chronograph Tourbillon x Porsche Panamericana is a masterpiece that resonates deeply with my love for both horology and motorsport. With its limited edition run of 255 pieces, it’s like owning a piece of history, a testament to the shared legacy of two iconic brands.


TAG Heuer and Porsche have joined forces once again to launch the TAG Heuer Carrera Chronograph Tourbillon x Porsche Panamericana. This exclusive timepiece, limited to 255 pieces, celebrates the legacy of both brands and their shared history with the iconic Carrera Panamericana race.

The Carrera Panamericana, a grueling rally spanning over 3,000 kilometers across Mexico, holds a special place in motorsport history. Porsche’s participation in the 1954 race, where the Porsche 550 Spyder achieved notable victories, inspired the design of this new watch. The TAG Heuer Carrera Chronograph Tourbillon x Porsche Panamericana pays homage to this legacy with design elements that echo the 550 Spyder’s features.

This watch is particularly distinctive. It has a 42mm stainless steel case, meticulously fine-brushed and polished, with an engraved “Spyder” logo etched on its side. Its skeleton dial, inspired by the wheels of the Porsche 550 Spyder, boasts a color combination of silver, yellow, and black. The grained texture on the dial gives it a racing feel, mimicking the texture of asphalt.

This timepiece showcases an in-house TH20-09 tourbillon movement at its core, providing a 65-hour power reserve. A distinctive trait is the Porsche steering wheel mass, clearly seen through the sapphire caseback, highlighting the watch’s automotive influence. The look is finalized with a black perforated calfskin leather strap that features yellow stitching and a sporty style.

This exclusive, numbered watch priced at CHF 35,000 will be launched in October 2024. It can be purchased either through TAG’s official website or authorized dealers, paying tribute to its association with the iconic Carrera Panamericana race.
