Inside is the Calibre 16, TAG Heuer’s automatic chronograph on the ETA 7750 base, with about 48 hours of reserve, and the case is rated to 100 metres.

The everyday racing chronograph

The Carrera is Heuer’s racing chronograph of 1963, designed by Jack Heuer for drivers who needed to read a chronograph at a glance: a clean dial, big counters and the minute track pushed out to the flange so nothing gets in the way. TAG Heuer has made it in every size and movement since, and the current line splits into the 44mm sport chronographs with the tachymeter bezel and the smaller glassbox watches that look back at the 1960s.

The Calibre 16 Carrera is the one TAG Heuer sells most of: a 7750-based automatic chronograph, which means a cam rather than a column wheel and about 48 hours of reserve, but also decades of proven reliability and cheap servicing anywhere. This 44mm version adds the black ceramic bezel, which does not scratch, and the day-date window at three that the 7750 makes easy. The red accents are the Carrera’s racing tell.

Reading the listing

The listing’s title is just the brand; the model row carries the full reference, CBN2A1AA.BA0643, and the dealer’s description lists the black dial, steel case and bracelet, automatic movement, tang clasp and 44mm. TAG Heuer lists a folding clasp for this reference, and the copy uses TAG Heuer’s. The photograph shows the ceramic bezel, the counters, the red accents and the day-date. The Calibre 16, reserve, 100 metres and steel caseback are TAG Heuer’s published specifications for the reference; the ETA 7750 base is the published basis of the Calibre 16.

The dealer is World Of Watches, a marketplace dealer, and the rows we read do not state whether the watch is new with TAG Heuer’s warranty; ask, and ask for the box and card. Nothing here was measured on the watch.

Buying it on Amazon

This is a regular Amazon listing from a marketplace seller with Amazon’s 30-day return window; it is not a Luxury Stores pre-owned unit and the seller has not published a condition. The second button opens the live search for Carreras in case this one has sold.

Carreras have resold for under new and close to what pre-owned buyers paid, sometimes more, sometimes less; that is a pattern, not a promise, and nothing here is investment advice.
