TAG Heuer has introduced two striking purple Carrera Chronographs during LVMH Watch Week, both offering a fresh take on the iconic model. These timepieces feature a smoky black-to-purple gradient dial that shines under direct light, giving the watches a dynamic, almost chameleon-like appearance. The Carrera Chronograph and its counterpart, the Glassbox Tourbillon, both boast bold design elements, with the tourbillon model being a limited edition. The standard Carrera Chronograph, however, will see full production, making this vibrant purple dial accessible to a wider audience.

The unique dial construction on both models sets them apart, with concentric rings and white markers ensuring legibility. Lume accents and a polished chronograph hand provide a functional yet sophisticated contrast against the purple backdrop. On the Tourbillon model, the running seconds is integrated within the tourbillon itself, elevating the watch's mechanical appeal. The Carrera Chronograph with a purple dial is a standout for those looking to add a pop of color and mechanical precision to their collection.
